    Feb 19 2026
    Description:Jess and Desiree Danielle have an honest conversation about what it means to be “created to create” — and why your obedience still counts even when the response is quiet. Desiree shares how her new book was birthed through prayer, the fear of opinions, and the vulnerable shift from producing others to releasing her own voice. Together, they talk excellence vs. perfection, using what’s in your hands, and why God can trust you with more when you’re faithful with what you already have.Connect With Our Guest:Desiree Danielle is a multi-faceted creative—photographer, writer, podcast producer, licensed cosmetologist, and worship dancer—whose life and work flow at the intersection of faith and creativity. Through her words, images, and ministry, she empowers others to see their gifts as sacred assignments rather than just talents. Desiree is passionate about helping people embrace their God-given identity with boldness and obedience, reminding them that creativity is not extra—it’s embedded in their design.Website: www.desireedanielle.comIG: @desireedanie11eGet your copy of the book: https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params=6RlKYHsxMb7HZqB1r6CRYiX49SkPTKE3lVy8zF2hs67🎙️ Need a place to be reminded you're not alone?The Safe Space is for creators who feel unseen, misunderstood, or ready to give up.
