There are endless ways to bring beauty, life, and order into this world—from cultivating ideas, gardens, and relationships to creating stories, songs, and an atmosphere of love. We do so through who we are and what we make. Yet something is off. Projects and pursuits that once filled us with joy now fill us with turbulence, confusion, and exhaustion. In this life-giving conversation, John and Allen reveal why everyone is creative, ways to get unstuck, and how to reawaken our desire to create with God—based on concepts from Allen's new book, The Creativity Glitch: How to Stop Being Stuck, Find Your Groove, & Create with God.

Show Notes: Allen Arnold's new book, The Creativity Glitch, is available on Amazon. For more on God, story, and creativity, visit Allen's website at withallen.com.

We all have a kingdom. Within it, our authority isn't limited to internal thoughts, emotions, and desires—but includes our external realm where what we say goes. The problem is, chaos often comes against our attempts to order our external reality. That's because while we live in a love story, it is set in a world at war. John, Blaine, and Allen explain what the Chaos Dragon is, why C. S. Lewis believed there is no neutral ground in this world, and how boundary lines affect the reach of our rule.

As this series progresses, John, Blaine, and Allen discuss ways to govern one’s internal reality through the categories of thoughts, emotions, and loves. This episode focuses on our thoughts. How do we align our thought life with Jesus? What are the Circle of Interest and the Circle of Control—and which should we pursue most? And how can we curate the countless inputs vying for our attention?

Each of us has a personal kingdom, or domain, for which we are responsible. Whether it’s our home, apartment, or dorm room, we have a place where what we say happens. What does it look like, in the midst of a chaotic world, to bring order and shalom to our realm? This new five-part series begins with John, Blaine, and Allen talking about why God made us to rule, how we’re meant to grow in this responsibility, and what role consecration and invocation play in banishing chaos from our domain.

Just like the physical realm has the law of gravity, there are laws to the spiritual realm.
