Abigail Carroll | Discerning the Presence, Power and Peace of God, Episode 4
Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Abigail Carroll
“Poetry starts with submitting myself to beauty.” – Abigail Carroll
God is a creative artist who delights in our creativity. God is glorified when we enter into creativity with Him. Abigail Carroll, the author of three poetry collections and pastor of arts and spiritual formation joins Steve Macchia to share her life story of collaborating with God in creativity. In this episode, Abigail describes how writing poetry has enlivened her heart and moved her soul to focus on God, especially during times of grief. We are encouraged to create with the Spirit of God through writing poetry, journaling, and through other creative means.
