Rachel’s writing has been featured in Christianity Today, Proverbs 31 Ministries, Ekstasis, She Reads Truth, and (in)courage.

Show Summary: When thinking about creativity, we often consider writers, painters, artists, poets, and many more to be the real “creative” people. What if we told you that there was so much more to the ways we express ourselves through different mediums of art? What if our ultimate Creator blessed us with all different forms of creating? Author and poet, Rachel Marie Kang, is excited to share a new outlook on the way we think about art. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins as they explore this new way of thinking on God Hears Her.

beautiful and bright and aesthetically pleasing for us, right? But also that light is so functional

and so purposeful. Like he pushed back the darkness. And so what if our creativity? What if our art? What if our making,

our producing, anything that we're cultivating has that same effect of pushing back the darkness
