Discover how to create what your heart longs to make.
Whether you see yourself as creative or not, deep down everyone has a God-given longing to make something that matters—a work of art, a business, a project, a home, a life.
This books shows you how.
The Creative Wild: Get Unstuck, Create More Adventurously reveals a way of creating—and living—in a more adventurous manner, even if you don’t think of yourself as adventurous or creative. It reveals the surprising ways that your faith in Jesus can enhance your creativity and vice versa, guiding you to create with the freedom and joy that you may have only dreamed of.
You’ll discover how “stuckness” isn’t your enemy but a gateway to something deeper and that creativity isn’t just for the “creative types” but instead is an essential part of who you are, designed by a Creator who made you in his image. You’ll also find a collection of inspiring yet practical Adventurous Creative Tools that can help any curious and imaginative person—artists, entrepreneurs, teachers, pastors, office workers, performers or even those who question their creative abilities—to bring something new, beautiful, or useful into the world.
This is a guide—and a fresh breeze of permission, support and inspiration—for anyone who’s sensed how much working with their hands feeds their souls and has felt the urge to do something more with their life but didn’t know where to start or how to keep going.

“It’s so encouraging to read an author working in the faith/arts/creativity space who writes with such clarity about the essentials of creativity. I was especially enthused/relieved to see that risk made it into this book—an absolute essential to making a song, a business, or a life. “Risk or rust,” is what I once heard a friend say. Wise words. As is this entire book. A point of clarification, though: Read this book if you want to live a 24/7 imaginative and creative life. It’s not just for artists. This book points the way to being human in the truest sense. Who doesn’t need that?”
—CHARLIE PEACOCK, Grammy Award-winning music producer and author of Roots & Rhythm—A Life in Music and coauthor of Why Everything That Doesn’t Matter, Matters So Much
