It Takes Courage to be How God Made You
It takes courage to be you. It takes courage to be strong when God and HIs Word lead you… When no one understands. When people misinterpret your actions. When God impresses something on your heart. When you let down your guard. It takes courage. To be fully an extrovert. To be entirely an introvert. To take the time to indulge in a hobby. To speak up. To stay quiet. It takes courage. To see the things others cannot. To see what others can see. To encourage others even to the point of seeming like you care too much. To stand strong in God’s calling even if it seems like you…

Bright, bubbly, brooding, intellectual, self-reflecting, expressive… I’m not sure the English language has enough adjectives to cover the situation. I’ve been blessed…

Here are some examples: Before his songs reached millions, Reddick was already painting—creating oil-on-canvas works inspired, as he says, “by the music that moves him.” His website showcases everything from richly textured abstracts to pop-culture portraits, including Spider-Man and a Tom Petty piece he created for his friend Mac Powell from Third Day. Reddick’s bio describes his visual art as “multilayered both literally, with a variety of textures, colors and shapes, as well as metaphorically.” The connection between his two creative outlets—music and painting—is inseparable.…
