Clash Cast with Kris Rosentrater

Clash Creative

We all have something we’ve been given to do. That something will find its power and flow when we live in the rhythms (loops) required to sustain emotional and spiritual health. Spiritual health starts with naming what we worship and where our identity lies because desire and identity affect all behavior, process, and creative practice. We discuss identity, creativity, self-care, leadership, and the overlap of worship, scripture, culture, and life. Together, let’s move forward in your emotional and spiritual health so that you can advance the work you were designed to do. Hosted by Kris Rosentrater, Founder of Clash Creative, a nonprofit offering spiritual guidance for creatives and those who love them. clashcreative.org Music by Dan Phelps, danphelps.com read less

One Thing matters. That One Thing will show you what else should matter. Listen to the One Thing, abide with the One Thing. Rest. He's calling you. He's calling you to the One Thing. Do not forfeit your soul.clashcreative.org

54. Run to the Rest

54. Run to the Rest

Pop culture is only going to get louder. If we listen, we will make short-term compromises for long-term harm. Take a breath and refuse to give up your attention for things that will never satisfy you. Refuse to donate your future for immediate comforts and quick fixes. Where is the quiet place? Get away from the noise. Run to the rest.clashcreative.org

53. Long-Term Game (That's No Game)

53. Long-Term Game (That's No Game)

Faith is a long-term game. Abiding is a long-term game, and being a follower in The Way of Jesus is a long-term game. (And it's not a game...) The answer is not to try harder. The answer is not behavior modification. The answer is not trying to be your best self. The answer is to be vulnerable and invite the Holy Spirit's presence into our life.clashcreative.org

52. Like My Father

52. Like My Father

The Lord sees us. The Lord sees you. The Lord longs and desires for our attention. He already knows your need. He already knows your wants, wishes, and desires. And he has already set aside things that we don't yet know. He has things to give you. He has goodness stored up for you: inheritance possessions, provisions, gifts, favor sustenance, daily bread, holiness, righteousness, joy, peace, gentleness, self-control, and spiritual gifts.Draw near to him now, and he promises to draw near to you!clashcreative.org

51. Lightswitch

51. Lightswitch

The light switch awaits! If we have darkness, it's because we have not engaged the light. If we have darkness, it is because we are choosing to walk in darkness. Practice the abiding life and engage the light, engage the light switch, engage Jesus, the light of the world.clashcreative.org

50. Water That Overwhelms

50. Water That Overwhelms

We need to develop a daily loop of communication and prayer to the Lord so that when hard times get harder, we will not drown in overwhelming waters. Seek the Lord while he may be found, and call on him while he is near!

49. Legal Limit

49. Legal Limit

Everything is permissible but not beneficial. Everything is permissible but does not build up. Even though we are capable of something, it might not be the best thing for us to do. When choosing how to spend our energy and time, what will be beneficial? What will be advantageous to others? What is constructive, especially to our character, and what will encourage others?

48. Falling Leaf

48. Falling Leaf

The hairs on our heads are numbered. He knows the stars by name and every leaf on every tree is watched and under His care.You cannot escape His love, you cannot escape his hand. He brings all things to his purpose. Our invitation is to go willingly into his purpose to give up control, worry, and anxiety.Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without our heavenly father knowing, and we are dressed more finely than a Lily of the valley.We are invited to give up our control today!

47. Hope to Talk About

47. Hope to Talk About

What do you talk about the most? We can't change what we talk about until we change what we hope for. And we change what we hope for by redirecting our worship. If you find yourself hopeless, realize this is not a place that Jesus wants you to be.

46. Come Out of Chaos

46. Come Out of Chaos

God is calling us out of chaos into his rest. He is above the chaos, never surprised or overwhelmed. Jesus invites us to reset our desire. He invites us to dwell, to rest, to delight. There is nothing that can pull us from our chaos on our own. Come out of your chaos today.

44. Brick Breaker

44. Brick Breaker

All of us have walls in our relationships, dreams, and in our spirit. Every day, we get to choose if we build up the wall or tear it down! Let go of your bricks and be free of your wall building!Do you have a wall in your life? Do you feel like there's something in your life or in your heart that is keeping you from something you want or the peace that you seek?

39. Books Could Not Contain

39. Books Could Not Contain

Sometimes we feel stuck. Sometimes we feel like we have nothing to say. Sometimes we don't know if we can go on. The Gospel of John tells us that all the books of the universe could not contain the unexpected, miraculous, creative works that Jesus did on earth. Let's invite the unexpected and uncontained into our life, heart, and practice.
