- What is the role of prayer in the creative life? We speak to Matt Varah Wilson, an illustrator and staff member for a prayer ministry about how prayer and creativity work together. How do we experience co-creating with God through the various seasons of life, and why we long for beauty. There are also some controversial opinions on bacon, theme parks and supermarkets shared throughout the episode.

Aughhhhhhh! That was so refreshing. 🥤😌 I've been struggling with wondering if my hunger is wrong and is a form of discontentment - I am tired of my job and want to be doing creative things. The conversation helped me connect in my mind how God moves our desires to bring us to new places, and we don't have to fear that, only to let go and be moved by Him.
"If we don't get our seasonal menu from God, we may end up just copying what we think is successful." So true! He created us in His image. He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are body, soul, and spirit. Just like our body needs air, food, and water to live, our souls (mind, will, and emotions) need love, PURPOSE, and respect/honor. We don't find our purpose by copying others. Our perfect Father has a perfect and unique plan for each of us. Great stuff guys! Thanks for sharing! (And just so it's not left out - our spirits need the Word, worship, and prayer.). 🙂
Amazing content
Loved this! I'm a Storyteller (in a season of mainly Illustration) but strangely I watch Ballet videos too 😂 I really enjoy watching others practise their craft.
a uplifting insightful video
What a timely upload; this is just what I needed. Thanks for making these and having these discussions! It's such an encouragement as a creator. I appreciated the bit about "how long can you talk with your father before it gets awkward? Just start small; it's a relationship and you'll eventually, naturally, want to talk longer."
the chaos at the start of this video is so delightful 🤣🤣
Yeah, we all want to see something beautiful, and anything beautiful draws community. Eg, if you see a stunning sunset, you want to either take a photo to share what you saw or immediately grab others and say, "look at this before it's gone!"
‘Things we like’ at 6mins
That was a great listen... cheeeeeers lads (team non bacon)
Such a fun & encouraging conversation, thanks for letting us tune in! 😁😊 Bacon is not my thing - but it brings a joy to many haha
I'm for bacon, but I don't go crazy about it. It's a good food, but not something I'd buy a t-shirt over. Great video! Y'all are hilarious, and I love hearing your discussions. Please keep making more, these have been great to listen to on my lunch breaks 😃
I love trying to grasp all that you guys say, and the topic is so interesting!
i also think bacon is overrated
I don’t know if this is a thing in the UK, but in the US we make sandwiches with bacon, lettuce, and tomato(and here in California, we add avocado🤤). It’s called a BLT, and it’s where bacon belongs. Absolutely fabulous. Even if you don’t like bacon, you might like BLTs.
I just bought a packet of ginger nuts lastnight and it's winter here too so yay! Also had to get superwines because they are grand ☕🍪
I reckon I’m a seasonal bacon eater.
And definitely a yes for bacon
👏
Yeah, about the pressure to keep making just one thing - Betzalel (the first Holy Spirit-filled person in the Bible) was anointed "in all kinds of workmanship", not just one thing! (Exodus 31:3)
