We ALL Lead

We ALL Lead — especially as creatives. For creatives, leadership doesn’t always look like a microphone, a platform, or a title. A lot of times it looks like obedience in private, consistency in process, and alignment in how we create.

Fasting repositions identity matters here because many of us don’t struggle with talent—we struggle with letting our identity get tied to output, affirmation, or momentum. When identity is off, creativity becomes performative instead of purposeful.

Delay not meaning denial is huge for creatives. Seasons where the work feels unseen, under-engaged, or slow don’t mean God isn’t moving. Like Daniel 10, the answer can be released while the manifestation is delayed. Waiting isn’t inactivity—it’s alignment. And alignment protects the work from being premature.

Perspective turning pain into purpose hits home too. Rejection, pauses, creative droughts, and criticism can either harden us or mature us. Joseph didn’t ignore what happened—he reframed it. Creatives lead best when we stop saying “this industry did this to me” and start asking “what is God forming in me through this?” The culture equation matters because creatives shape culture whether we intend to or not:

Our attitudes shape how we approach our craft
That becomes behavior (how we show up, post, collaborate, rest)
Sustained behavior becomes habits (discipline, excellence, procrastination, integrity)
Habits reveal values (why we create)
Values establish culture (what people feel when they encounter our work)

✨✨That’s leadership. Application for us as creatives:

Check identity before chasing visibility
Don’t rush platforms that outpace formation
Let waiting refine the work, not discourage it
Pay attention to habits, not just inspiration
Confront what’s blocking growth instead of creating around it
Choose alignment over constant activity

We lead through what we create, how we create, and who we are becoming while we create it. Here’s the link to my full sermon notes if you want to sit with it more:
