63: Spiritual Disciplines for Creative Learners (with Tessa Sydnor)

Tessa Sydnor shares with us about her new book and how she pairs her passions of art and spiritual disciplines. 

• Spiritual Disciplines for Creative Learners: A Workbook by Tessa Sydnor
• “Spiritual disciplines - practices we do to help us in our faith and grow in our relationship with the Lord.”
• “It helps me to have something tangible. Spiritual disciplines have become tools that I can use to actually meditate on Christ day and night.”
• “As you pray and reflect on your life, let the Spirit guide you.”
• Spiritual Disciplines Handbook by Adele Calhoun
• “I have a really hard time sitting still and concentrating and focusing on Scripture, and it helps me to incorporate my art into that.”
• “That’s the beautiful thing about this: We don’t grow ourselves. There’s nothing we can do. We can only put ourselves into a position of looking at Jesus and trusting that He is doing the transformation in our lives.”
• “There’s so many things that I want to pray but have no words for, but I do have colors and shapes.”
• “The key word for me is intentionality. He wants me to be intentional in knowing Him.”
• “What would this look like to do [this] as a spiritual discipline that keeps me fixing my eyes on Jesus?”
