Fight for the Courage to Create

Will your worship songs stay unwritten? Not because you lack talent — but because you lack the courage to write them.

In this episode I unpack what it actually takes to write brave, Spirit-filled worship songs instead of songs that just repeat familiar worship tropes. Drawing from 2 Timothy 1:6-7 and the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13-14, this episode explores why so many worship songwriters hold back out of fear, comparison, and chasing the algorithm — and how to fan the gift of God into flame instead.

This is a call to courageous worship songwriting: writing from conviction, not caution, so your songs can carry real faith-building power.

Here's what it covers:

• Why creativity requires courage, and what's at stake when songwriters play it safe

• The "ten spies vs. two spies" framework for facing fear in your creative calling

• How fear of comparison and chasing the algorithm quietly kills the courage to write worship songs

• Why God's delight in you — not your confidence — is the real source of courage

• Practical steps to prepare spiritually before you sit down to write

If you need the boldness to write what you’re called to write, this episode is for you.
