Ever wonder if your creative expression truly matters in God’s kingdom? In this inspiring and joy-filled conversation, Michele Kus interviews Charity Williams, founder of Hope Words, whose journey from the ICU to prophetic painting shows us that creativity isn’t just a hobby but a divine partnership with heaven.

In this episode, the first in our Kingdom Creativity series, Charity shares her remarkable journey of discovering her creative purpose. What started with painting encouraging words and images on her shoes (“because I was looking down so much”) became a healing and hope-filled ministry that invites others to encounter God through art, creativity, and joy.

Charity unpacks the difference between worldly creativity and kingdom creativity — the kind that co-creates with Holy Spirit to shift atmospheres and release heaven on earth. She shares how God freed her from perfectionism with these powerful words: “What you see in your mind is what I show you, and what comes out gets to look like you.”

Whether you’re an artist or not, Charity will help you see yourself as creative because you were birthed by the Creator Himself. Her refreshing perspective reminds us that creativity flows not from striving but from our identity and relationship with our Creator. This conversation will ignite your imagination and childlike wonder, and will remind you that it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being YOU.

Tune in and start seeing your creative expression through heaven's eyes — as a powerful reflection of God’s image on earth.
