"If you’ve ever thought, ‘I’m not qualified to be a creator,’ this episode is for you."

This special episode of TACO Talks features a full chapter readings from The Art of Digital Influence, a book by Al Descheneau (aka XtianNinja), read by Scott Carpenter (aka The Born Again Gamer). Written to encourage and equip Christian content creators, the book explores how faith and digital influence intersect in powerful ways.

Chapter 1, “Who Me? A Creator?”, speaks directly to the fears and doubts that keep many from stepping into their God-given calling. Drawing from the story of Moses, it reminds us that God often works through the least likely people—and that your voice matters more than you think.
