Feeling burned out or stuck in patterns that just aren’t working anymore? In today’s episode, we explore what it looks like to build sustainable, grace-shaped rhythms—the kind that support both your soul and your creativity.

This conversation is about releasing pressure, quieting guilt, and learning to walk in rhythms that feel life-giving rather than exhausting. You’ll hear honest stories, practical rhythms, gentle invitations, and a reminder that you don’t have to force a version of life that isn’t true to your season.

• What “rhythms of grace” look like in real life
• Early signs you’re living out of rhythm
• Tiny rhythms that make a big difference
• How to sustain your creative life without forcing inspiration
• How grace reshapes our habits, expectations, and inner conversations

A powerful and simple tool to help you identify the patterns, stories, and mental scripts shaping your rhythms.

“Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.” — Matthew 11:28–30 (MSG)

A reminder that Jesus invites us into rhythms that restore rather than drain us.

Join us on the third Thursday in February for Episode 9: The Art of Pivoting: Knowing When to Stop, Start, or Shift

This episode was produced by and made possible through the support of Wildfire Creative!

What sparks your creativity: awkward dancing, long showers, or cleaning out junk drawers?

In this Creative Confession bonus episode, we pull back the curtain on the quirky rituals and habits that help us get unstuck and into flow.

From steamy bathroom brainstorms to social media flops and late-night paint sessions, it’s all fair game. Sometimes, the magic shows up in the mess or the mundane. And that “productive procrastination”? Yep, it counts too.

We’re celebrating the oddball moments that unlock our creativity—so share yours with us! Tag @SavedYouASeatCreative on Instagram with your favorite ritual or creative quirk.

Let’s normalize the weird and wonderful together.

In today’s conversation, we’re leaning into the idea of creative seasons—the ones we thrive in, the ones we fight, and the ones we don’t always understand. If you’ve felt off-rhythm, stuck, or like your creativity just doesn’t match the pace of everyone else’s, you’re not broken—you’re just in a different season.

Join us as we unpack what these seasons look like, how God is present in every one of them, and what it means to stop forcing constant fruitfulness and instead trust the process.

• How to recognize and respond to the season you're in creatively
• What happens when we try to force fruitfulness or "keep up"
• Scriptures that anchor us during dry, quiet, or waiting seasons
• How to encourage yourself (and others) when creativity slows down
• Speaking truth to the weary: creativity doesn't have to be constant to be meaningful

Not bearing fruit isn’t failure. It’s part of the process. Your creative life has seasons—and God is at work in all of them.

• Psalm 1:2–3 "He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."
