creative corner: everything that inspired me last month
art worth spending your time consuming
Before we get into today’s Creative Corner, my newest book, When Nothing Makes Sense: Finding God in the Gap Between Prayer & Answer, is out now!!! If you’re in a season of uncertainty, transition, or simply feel like your prayers are going unanswered, may this book meet you where you are and guide you to where you’re going. Here are some reviews from my beautiful, lovely, brilliant readers:
“Finally. A book that puts into words all the thoughts and feelings I’ve ever experienced. I’ve leaned so much from this—perhaps I already knew; I just needed to see it in writing. I’m so thankful for God’s glory shining through these pages and from the author’s heart. We all have different stories. We all relate to different things. So, not everything in this book will be for you—same with life. But if your soul runs deep, and you want it to run even deeper, this book is for you.”
Few writers hold my attention the way Karin does. She has an incredible ability to distill real, lived thoughts - prayers, reflections, quiet moments - into writing that feels both intimate and beautifully crafted. Where many writers smooth out the raw edges of humanity in pursuit of poetic language, Karin does the opposite. She preserves the honesty while elevating it. Her work is also refreshingly genre-defying. It doesn’t read like what you’d expect from a book centered on spirituality - and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. It’s deep, accessible, and resonant for readers of any background.
This month’s creative corner is a full audit of everything that expanded me in April—the conversations that rewired something, the music that moved me through hard moments, the films and documentaries that cracked my mind open, and the podcast episodes that gave language to things I had already been receiving in my own meditations, and even the random TikToks that found me at the perfect moment. Everything on this list left me more myself than I was before I encountered it—more curious, more creative, more convinced that great art is one of the fastest portals to God.
If you want to know what a soul-led creative is actually consuming—not for aesthetic, not for trend, but for genuine expansion—this is it!!! Consider this your curated invitation to go deeper.
