The Guild is back

Hey friends,

I’ve got something special to share with you all. Back in 2021, I co-founded a creative arts conference called “The Guild” in Raleigh, NC, alongside my good friend Jess Ray. Our heart behind this experience was to create a space where Christian creatives could grow both in their craft and character while staying grounded in their walk with God. We recognized how challenging it can be to balance the creative journey with spiritual life, so we set out to care for the creative soul.

Now, here we are in our fourth year of hosting The Guild, and I’m beyond excited to see it all come together again. Over the years, the conference has grown into a vibrant community of artists, writers, musicians, and other creatives, all seeking to honor God with their gifts. Watching people find inspiration, restoration, and connection has been such a blessing.

In the past, I was heavily involved in planning the conference, but I’ve stepped back this year to focus on my own creative work. However, I’ll still be there as a guest speaker (I’ve actually spoken at every Guild conference!), and I can’t wait to share a message that I hope will inspire every creative who attends.

If you’re a creative who’s feeling worn out, stuck, or simply looking for a space to grow in both your artistry and your faith, I highly encourage you to register for this year’s Guild conference. It’s not just about honing your craft—it’s about caring for the heart behind the work, staying rooted in who God has called you to be, and connecting with a community of like-minded artists.

I truly believe this experience will bless you in ways you don’t expect. So if this sounds like something you need, don’t hesitate—register today and join us in Raleigh for what’s sure to be an unforgettable time of growth, creativity, and spiritual renewal.

I can’t wait to see what God will do through this year’s conference. Thanks for being part of this journey with me.

Stay Inspired!
