The Bible Compares Us to Clay - This Artist Lives It

I'm back with an inspiring chat with ceramic artist Morgan McCarver. She shares her journey into pottery after back surgery ended her dance career. Through sculpting clay, Morgan deepened her connection with God. The Bible compares us to clay and God the potter - molding and shaping us. Morgan found healing by leaning into her creative talents. She advises finding your creative outlet to grow closer to God. We all express creativity differently - even in spreadsheets or organization! God speaks through our unique passions. Morgan also runs her own pottery business, selling online and at festivals. She is transparent about the challenges but keeps going because of her purpose. Balancing a day job allows her to pace herself physically while still pursuing her dream. Finally, hear the story behind Morgan's new book God the Artist. After failure years ago, she surrendered her writing plans to God. His perfect timing brought the book together - and a publisher! Let Morgan's journey inspire you to embrace your creativity, follow your purpose, and trust God's plans. What stuck out to you most?
