Paul Pape is a creative problem navigator, TEDx speaker, and author known as “Santa for Nerds.” Over the past 20 years, he has built a reputation as the specialty artist companies like Disney, Universal, and Nickelodeon call when they need something that doesn't exist or their internal teams can't build. Working from his Nebraska studio, Paul creates custom collectibles, props, and prototypes with tight deadlines and exacting standards. Paul is the creator of Gamify Business and author of The Creative Player's Handbook to Business, which translates intimidating business concepts into gaming language that creative minds actually understand. Through his books, workshops, and coaching, he helps entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses without sacrificing their creative souls, proving that the “starving artist” stereotype is outdated and unnecessary. Paul first appeared on Follow Your Curiosity in September 2024, and I invited him to come back to tell us about his new Gamify Business program. Paul talks with me about how he recognized the need for a more creative metaphor for entrepreneurship; the danger of losing touch with your passion as your creative business grows; how the focus on what's NOT possible, plus the constant need to ask permission—even as a adults—can get in our way, and a whole lot more. If you've ever been intimidated by the idea of starting a business, especially as a creative, this episode is for you.   Episode breakdown: 00:00 Introduction. 04:10 Using Dungeons and Dragons to explain creative business roles. 08:18 Leveling up business skills with gaming metaphors. 12:00 Business isn't selling out; creatives deserve a livable wage. 16:05 Building the book through stories and personal experience. 20:13 Learning entrepreneurship by adapting methods to suit yourself. 24:10 Gatekeeping of business concepts and simplifying with new language. 28:47 Kids embrace entrepreneurship because they haven't been told no. 32:27 Making a fool of yourself helps growth and confidence. 37:08 Confidence from passion attracts opportunities and like-minded people. 41:57 The tipping point: when passion becomes a draining job. 46:53 Failing is natural; our schooling overemphasizes perfection. 51:25 Coaching, permission, and feeling proud support creative entrepreneurship. 56:29 Rediscovering fun and permission helps creativity thrive.   Want more?

What if the ancient way of welcoming seekers is exactly what we're missing? When Dr. Chris Burgwald, Chancellor for the Diocese of Sioux Falls, and I dug into the roots of OCIA, it struck me how much wisdom we've left sitting on the shelf. The early Church knew how to walk with people—slowly, personally, lovingly—and somewhere along the line, we traded that for efficiency. Dr. Burgwald shows why returning to this ancient, relational way of forming disciples isn't nostalgia; it's the key to helping people truly encounter Jesus and find a home in His Church again. And what's amazing is that this shift doesn't just change the journey for newcomers—it transforms the entire parish. When we implement OCIA the way the Church actually envisions it, gifts surface, people step forward, and a culture of prayer and hospitality begins to grow. Communities rally around seekers, and in the process, everyone gets formed. One person's “yes” becomes an invitation for an entire parish to rediscover its mission.

Finding a balance between career and creativity. Have you ever built a "successful" career only to realize it was draining the very creativity you intended to nurture? Artist Emily-Jane Sarroff spent a decade navigating the worlds of architecture and high-level business consulting before realizing that her most important work was the art she made for herself. Emily-Jane shares her journey of deconstructing the "societal programming" that linked her worth to her career and explains why she recently pivoted to real estate to provide her nervous system the safety it needed to create again.In this episode, we discuss:The "Disappointment" Narrative: How the internal pressure to succeed led Emily-Jane away from her creative roots after high school.The Architecture Trap: Why a "creative" degree can sometimes feel more technical than expressive, and the brave decision to "leap" away from a career that wasn't fuelling her soul.Choosing Self over Scale: Why Emily-Jane closed a successful, six-figure business to stop "proving herself" and start living from a heart space.“Weird and Woo Woo” Art: A look into Emily-Jane's spiritual, abstract style and why she prioritizes creating for her own healing and expression rather than for commissions.Practical Creativity: How to set up a permanent art space (even in a garage corner!) and the importance of scheduling “buffer zones” to transition your brain from logical work to creative flow.You might also like:Rediscovering the Inner Artist with Kerry LyonsPeonies, Paint and Personal Growth with Sally Jean FoxSociety, Stereotypes and Sparkle with Jessie ElliottClick here to buy Samantha EJ Button's poetry collection Not Wholesome Content I would love some financial support to help me to keep making this podcast.

In this episode, we continue our conversation and reflect on Kaitlyn's first six months of working as a Registered Dietitian. We talk openly about the biggest worries and fears going into a first RD job, including imposter syndrome, learning without a preceptor, and becoming comfortable with new systems, routines, and professional relationships. We reflect on which fears were valid, which ones eased with time, and why allowing yourself space to settle, make mistakes, and build confidence gradually is a critical part of the learning process. We also explore the unexpected challenge of navigating identity and major life transitions after graduation, including the emotional weight of starting a new role, relocating, and adjusting to professional independence.Additionally, we share advice for new RDs entering the workforce, including setting boundaries early, protecting your time and self-worth, and recognizing that respect in the workplace is non-negotiable. We discuss areas of continued growth, such as navigating criticism within healthcare teams, as well as skills developed over the past six months, including organization, systems, and building trusting working relationships. Finally, we reflect on long-term career goals, opportunities for growth, and the importance of not being afraid to make career changes.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and quietly wondered, “Who am I really?” Not what you do. Not the roles you play. Not what others expect of you. But who you truly are. In this deeply honest and hope-filled conversation, I'm joined again by our team coach, Susan King, as we explore what Scripture says about your identity—not just your duties. Together, we unpack how Christian women—especially those in destructive or emotionally unhealthy marriages—lose their sense of self and how to begin reclaiming the woman God created you to be. If you've been pretending things are “fine” when they aren't, this episode will gently guide you back to truth, clarity, and courage. Key Takeaways 1. You Are Called to Be, Not Just to Do So many women are taught their role—wife, mom, helper—but not their identity. Yet Scripture tells us something far deeper. You are God's handiwork (Ephesians 2:10). You are a chosen daughter, a royal priesthood, set apart and beloved. Before you accomplish anything, before you serve anyone, your identity is secure in Christ. When we begin reading the Bible not as a rulebook but as a mirror—asking, “What does this say about who God is and who I am?”—everything changes. 2. If You've Been Pretending, It's Time to Come Home to Yourself One brave listener asked, “How do I find out who I am? I feel like I've been pretending most of my life.” If that's you, start here: What have you been pretending to be? What would change if you stopped pretending? What virtues reflect who you truly are? Your identity is not your temporary emotions. It's not others' opinions. It's rooted in your God-given character and values. Notice when you lose track of time because you're fully alive. Notice what brings you joy. Notice what stirs your heart. These clues aren't selfish—they're sacred. 3. Why So Many Christian Women Lose Themselves In destructive or controlling marriages, women often experience subtle erosion—constant undermining, gaslighting, or isolation. Over time, they internalize the belief that their thoughts, needs, and feelings don't matter. But even in “good” marriages, many women self-abandon. We've been taught that becoming “one” means losing ourselves. That loving means over-functioning. That serving means silencing our voice. That is not biblical oneness. That is erasure. Healthy oneness honors two whole people—each with a voice, a body, and a soul. 4. Caring for Yourself Is Stewardship, Not Selfishness So many women struggle with shame when they begin asking, “What do I need?” But Scripture never calls you to neglect yourself. Jesus modeled rest, solitude, nourishment, and boundaries. Stewarding your one precious life is not self-absorption—it's obedience. When your tank is empty, you cannot love wisely. Putting your oxygen mask on first isn't selfish; it's responsible. Ask yourself: What brought me joy today? What drained me? What small change would help me show up as my best self? Small awareness leads to big transformation. 5. “He's Fine”… But You're Not One of the most painful dynamics women describe is this: “My husband acts like everything is fine. And I start doubting myself.” Here's the truth: Things may genuinely be fine for him. But that doesn't mean they're fine for you. You are allowed to be a separate self with separate experiences. Instead of arguing about whether things are “really fine,” try saying: “I understand that this feels okay to you. But it's not okay for me. And that matters.” Healthy love cares when something isn't fine for the other person. If you're realizing that you've lost sight of who you are… If you've been stuck pretending… If you feel erased in your own life… You don't have to figure this out alone.

Wright engages in a heartfelt conversation with Mike Freezer, who shares his transformative journey of faith. From a difficult past to a renewed commitment to Christ, Mike's story inspires listeners to explore their own spiritual paths and the power of God's word.Main Content:1. **Early Struggles and Awakening** Mike Freezer's journey began before his teenage years when he first accepted Christ as his Savior. However, attending a spiritually stagnant church hindered his growth. After high school, he found himself on the wrong path, leading to a pivotal moment where he sought to realign his life with God. Through the introduction to a Bible-believing church, he experienced a profound awakening, hearing the Word of God preached with passion for the first time. This marked the beginning of a lifelong commitment to understanding and living out his faith.2. **The Importance of Community** Mike emphasizes how vital it is to be part of a community of believers, referring to the church not as a building but as the body of Christ. He recounts how the encouragement and support from fellow believers helped him grow in his faith. "I realized what really marriage was about," he shares, reflecting on how his relationships within the church played a crucial role in his spiritual development.3. **Facing Adversity** Life took a challenging turn for Mike when he faced a divorce, a moment he describes as a significant upset. Acknowledging his part in the situation, he emphasizes that God remained with him throughout his struggles. This period pushed him to delve deeper into the Word of God, leading him to memorize scripture. Mike dedicates six months to memorizing Psalms 19 and 139, which ignited a new passion for God's Word, making it "living and active" in his life.4. **A New Calling** At 66, Mike and his wife started a home church, marking a new chapter in his ministry journey. He began writing a book titled "God Wins Again" to share how God has continually worked in his life. Although the book is still in progress, he transitioned to creating a 15-part video series titled "God Wins Again: Your First Love." This series aims to inspire viewers to reflect on their own faith journeys and recognize God's presence in their lives.5. **Memorizing Scripture** Mike highlights the significance of memorizing scripture as a means of spiritual revival. He shares his favorite passage from Ephesians 1:18-23, which speaks of the hope and power believers have through Christ. This practice not only deepens understanding but also strengthens the connection to God, affirming that each part of the body of Christ has equal importance.Conclusion: Mike Freezer's journey is a testament to the transformative power of faith and the Word of God. His story encourages listeners to seek revival in their spiritual lives, embrace community, and actively engage with scripture. Key takeaways include the importance of a supportive church community,...

The Lord's Prayer may be the most familiar prayer in Christianity—and the most overlooked. In this episode of InContext, Michael Easley sits down with Brad Gray and Brad Nelson of Walking the Text to uncover the depth, power, and biblical context behind the prayer Jesus taught His disciples. Drawing from years of study in Israel, pastoral ministry, and personal experiences of grief and suffering, Brad and Nelson show how the Lord's Prayer is not just something Jesus taught—it's the prayer He lived. From Exodus imagery and the “heavens” language to forgiveness, grief, and the kingdom of God, this conversation reframes the prayer as a daily blueprint for discipleship. Whether you've prayed the Lord's Prayer for decades or rarely stop to think about its meaning, this episode invites you to hear it with fresh ears—and to rediscover how it shapes our understanding of God, ourselves, and our purpose in the world. Chapters 00:00 – How Michael First Met Brad & Nelson in Israel 03:40 – From Sports & Business to Studying Scripture 07:50 – Why Biblical Context Changes Everything 10:45 – Why the Disciples Asked Jesus to Teach Them to Pray 13:55 – Rediscovering the Lord's Prayer 17:20 – Grief, Liminal Space, and Prayer That Holds Us Together 22:30 – “Our Father in the Heavens” Explained 27:10 – Creation, Cosmos, and God's Nearness 30:40 – Why Stillness Helps Us Hear God 34:10 – “Forgive Us Our Debts” and the Cost of Forgiveness 39:00 – Forgiveness vs. Reconciliation 44:00 – The Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee, and Grace 49:30 – Why Forgiveness Is Ongoing Work 53:40 – The Lord's Prayer as a Blueprint for Daily Life Key Topics The Lord's Prayer in biblical and historical context Why familiarity can dull spiritual formation Exodus imagery and the kingdom of God God's nearness and authority in “the heavens” Grief, suffering, and liminal space Forgiveness as daily soul care Forgiveness vs. reconciliation and healthy boundaries Why prayer shapes how we live, not just what we say Links Mentioned: Bringing Heaven Here by Brad Gray and Brad Nelson Watch the highlights and full version of this interview on our Youtube channel.
