The Creator's Battle is HERE! (New Bible Reading Plan)
|
BIG NEWS... ...our newest Bible reading plan is NOW AVAILABLE on the YouVersion app! If you're not familiar with YouVersion, just know that no other app on the planet has shared the Bible more than this one. They are nearing a BILLION installs of the Bible in every language. And we're proud to announce that the next reading plan in our "Creator" series is out. It's called "The Creator's Battle: Winning the Inner War for Your Art" - and as you read it, you'll see how God has given you tools to defeat the voices that would constrain and cut off your creative impact, so you can be victorious inside and out! I wrote this specifically for the creator, artist and entrepreneur who feels like they can't overcome the obstacles between them and their God-given purpose. So, would you like to join my personal reading group on YouVersion? It's easy to participate! Make sure you're logged in to your YouVersion account, and then tap this invitation link to join my personal group. We will start on Monday, September 29th. (I can only add 150 people, so hurry to grab a spot) . Throughout the week I'll share more takeaways and bonuses so you can get the most ouf of this journey through Scripture! I'd be so honored if you'd join my personal group so I can get your thoughts and feedback on this powerful subject. Join today and let's get into the Word together on Monday! Gratefully, Allen |

Any missed moment, lapse of judgement, or wasted opportunity could have potentially knocked Him off course on His way to fulfill God's purpose. And yet, He didn't let a single ball drop. He took care of His family, even in His dying...
Only one question This is a different kind of "Creator Checkup"... ..because I'm the one that needs checking on. I'm sending you this in the midst of the recovery period after a tough two weeks with my family. And while I know everyone in our community is facing something...it's important that I'm open and honest with you. Because it doesn't make sense to call this a "Checkup" if we don't admit when things are going right and when things are going wrong. My wife and I use this method all the...
Just how many hats are you wearing? I don't mean fedoras, sombreros or trucker hats, of course. I'm referring the metaphorical 'hats' that we all wear in our different roles, both in our creative work and in our families and personal lives. I experienced the hat-switching at a brand new level just this week, as I found myself coordinating a band for an artist 400 miles away, while simultaneously working on our church's podcast recording and publishing. Surely this is a sign of potential...
