About Hidden Creativity and Humble Starts

Have you ever dismissed your creative potential because you believed the lie that artists are born, not made? That's exactly where Sara Thurman found herself until age 56 when an unexpected divine encounter changed everything.

Sara joins us to share her remarkable journey from someone who "couldn't even draw stick figures" to becoming a successful artist whose paintings now sell worldwide and fund missions across the globe. The transformation began during a simple painting session with friends where God whispered to her heart: "You're an artist for me." Despite her initial disbelief, Sara chose to believe first and step into this new identity before seeing the evidence.

This conversation cuts straight to the heart of creativity as our birthright. Drawing from Genesis 1:27, Sara passionately explains that if we're made in the image of the Great Creator, creativity inherently lives within each of us. Yet many of us have believed the devastating lie that we lack creative ability. Through her book "Small Beginnings: A Journey to the Impossible," Sara guides readers to dream impossible dreams, discover their purpose, and find their people.

What makes this story particularly powerful is how it challenges our assumptions about timing and seasons. Sara began painting at 56, started learning golf at 66, and even found new love after unexpectedly losing her husband. Her testimony reminds us that God's timing is perfect—we never "miss it" when walking in step with Him. Whether you're 26 or 86, this conversation will inspire you to ask, "What creative potential lies dormant within me?" and take your first small step toward discovering it.
