Welcome to Episode 2 of the Saved You a Seat Podcast! In today’s conversation, we’re exploring what it means to be made in the image of a creative God, and how that truth shapes the way we see our work, our worth, and our everyday lives. Whether you’re a painter, parent, podcaster, or planner, this episode will remind you that creativity isn't extra– it’s essential.

Hosted by Joni Rosebrock, this conversation brings together four women with different creative callings to talk about the beauty and the tension of creating in the middle of real life. You’ll hear honest stories, a few laughs, and a lot of grace.

What We Talked About:

• What it really means to be made in the image of God, and how creativity is part of that design
• Why creative work can feel insignificant or selfish, and how to shift that mindset
• The everyday distractions and pressures that make creating hard, and how we carve out sacred space anyway
• Recognizing creativity in the small, often-overlooked parts of life
• Encouragement for the woman who feels unqualified or unsure whether her creativity matters

Practical Encouragement: “What if your creativity isn’t something extra but essential to how God made you to reflect His goodness in the world?”
