Episode notes

What if creativity could become a sacred space for healing, prayer, and transformation? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with therapist, artist, and workshop facilitator Hyatt Fields to explore the powerful connection between faith, creativity, and emotional healing. Hyatt shares her journey from clinical depression to renewed joy and purpose, and how art journaling became a prayer language through which God met her in profound ways.

Together we discuss intuitive art, art journaling, gathering community, finding beauty in suffering, and how God faithfully brings beauty from ashes. Hyatt also shares how she incorporates creativity into her counseling work and offers practical ways anyone can begin using creativity as a tool for healing and connection with God.

Whether you're an artist, journaler, creative soul, or simply walking through a difficult season, this conversation offers hope, encouragement, and gentle reminders that God is present in the process.
