  • Open My Lips: The Power of Speaking God’s Word
    Feb 5 2026

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Small Beginnings, I’m sharing why God invites us to speak our prayers out loud, not because He needs to hear them, but because something shifts when we do.

    Our voices carry authority.
    Spoken truth changes atmospheres.
    And when we speak God’s Word, faith rises and darkness retreats.

    We’ll talk about:

    • Why reading Scripture out loud matters
    • What fear, shame, or silence may have sealed our lips
    • How unlocking our voice often unlocks creativity, healing, and praise

    This episode is a gentle invitation to stop praying silently out of fear and start speaking God’s Word with trust, even in small ways.

    God still speaks.
    And sometimes, He’s waiting for us to speak back.

    If this stirs something in you, continue the journey through Refreshing the Soul or Divine Creativity: Healing Through Painting or Journaling, where prayer, creativity, and healing meet.

  • Breaking Creative Resistance: Reclaiming Your God-Given Creativity
    Jan 29 2026

    Send us a text

    Creative resistance has been on my mind lately.

    That heavy feeling that shows up right when you sit down to create.
    The distraction.
    The doubt.
    The quiet voice that whispers, Maybe later. Maybe you’re not ready. Maybe it doesn’t matter.

    In today’s episode, I’m naming that resistance for what it often is, fear, distraction, and even spiritual opposition trying to silence what God placed inside you on purpose.

    What if the resistance you feel isn’t a sign to stop…
    but confirmation that what you’re creating matters?

    We’re diving into Scripture to uncover the truth that creativity isn’t optional fluff or a side hobby. It’s woven into who you are as someone made in the image of a Creator God. When you create, you reflect His nature. And when creativity is delayed, muted, or dismissed, the world misses out on what God intended to release through you.

    In this episode, we’ll talk about:
    • Why creativity is God’s idea, not yours
    • Why resistance shows up strongest right before breakthroughs
    • The lies that quietly block obedience, like perfectionism, comparison, and “I’ll do it later”
    • How to overcome resistance with both spiritual truth and practical action
    • Why creating with God becomes both worship and warfare

    I also invite you into a gentle moment of reflection, asking:
    What has God been nudging you to create?
    Where have you felt resistance?
    What would obedience, not perfection, look like today?

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, weary, or hesitant to begin again, let this episode be your confirmation:
    What God placed in you is worth protecting, nurturing, and releasing.

    🎧 Listen now to Small Beginnings with Sara and let God meet you right in the middle of your creative process.

    And if you’re ready to go deeper, I’d love to walk with you inside Divine Creativity: Healing Through Painting or Journaling, or the Creative Healing Bundle, where we create with God, not striving, not performing, but listening and responding.

    God still speaks.
    He may be calling you to something creative.
    And it might just feel impossible.

    Go create, with Him. 🤍

  • Finding God’s Rhythm, One Day at a Time
    Jan 23 2026

    Send us a text

    Lately, I’ve been asking God for His rhythm, not more hustle, not a faster pace, but His way of walking through my days.

    In this episode, I share five simple, Scripture-rooted thoughts that have been helping me slow down and listen again. From numbering our days with wisdom, to trusting God for daily grace, to learning when to withdraw, rest, and simply be with Him, this conversation is an invitation to stop rushing ahead and start walking with God, one step at a time.

    God doesn’t usually reveal the whole path.
    He lights the next step.
    And somehow, that’s enough.

    If you’ve been feeling weary, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s next, this episode is a reminder that God’s grace is not forced, it’s formed over time through small, faithful obedience. This year isn’t about striving harder. It’s about walking closer.

    Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let’s learn together how to live in the unforced rhythms of grace.

    🎧 Listen now to Small Beginnings, and let God meet you right where you are, today.
