Where has God gifted you? God has given each of us talents to use for Him, and I want this group to be a place where we can all learn how to share these gifts effectively. Is your gift in one or more of these categories? If not (or even if so), tell us in the comments what your gift is.

Welcome to the Christian Creator Support community! (Please comment after reading so we can get to know and support each other effectively.) I’m learning the ropes, and I’m excited about considering each other to provoke (as the Bible says) unto love and to good works. As part of that, I’m excited about providing encouragement and strategies for sharing the creative works God gives you. I’d love your feedback, so please comment with: 1. Where are you from? 2. What kind of creations you make or want to make? 3. What's your biggest obstacle or deterrent, either from making those creations or from sharing them with the world for the glory of Jesus Christ?

I figured this one would take a few weeks, however I started it yesterday. I worked really hard to insure the message was Biblically accurate, there are areas where I took liberties in my own perspective into how he must have been feeling, what he was thinking. I pray I'm not off course, I put the way I believe I would have felt in his situation. https://youtu.be/qzEVE5aanMY?si=WJvmXnsLkzqalG6n

Sorry for being so scarce lately. This has been a crazy week between the death of our local church bishop's (≈senior pastor's) widow and the hospitalization of my lovely girlfriend. We'll miss the bishop's widow, Sis. Hamlett, but my girlfriend Lisa is out of the hospital and recovering, and I'm ready to jump back into this community!

I admit that even as the admin, I didn't get this group off to a great start at first. I posted some work of mine but got discouraged when nothing seemed to be helping other members or gathering any helpful feedback for me. So I've got a new idea: Every time you overcome a hurdle in the creative process, post about it to teach others. Post your work in progress, too. Not everything that everyone's working on will be everyone else's cup of tea even if they're creating in the same field, but we can all learn from each other, and so can creators in the general public. So to sum it up: - Post in this group to show your work in progress *and* the hurdles you overcome. - I recommend getting a Patreon and posting the same there. - For work in progress that you want to share with Patreon in video format, you can upload it to YouTube as unlisted and then include the link in a Patreon post. - Patreon is also a great place to offer sheet music and lead sheets if you're a musician, scripts if you're a playwright, and supplemental materials like Bible studies to go with any kind of Christian creative work. If you're a musician who wants to try this, but you don't read/write music, you can message me about lessons and/or my services as a transcriber. - Post on public platforms to show the hurdles you overcome, the finished products (or large portions of them if they're of epic length), and just small glimpses from time to time of work in progress. Short form video is often great for this, as it currently gets pushed out in the algorithms. Linking your viewers to your Patreon and encouraging them to try a week for free can also help. (Just remember to set up a free week's trial in Patreon.) For content you plan to post publicly, I also recommend posting it twice, once unlisted and linked from Patreon, and once publicly.
