Today we find ourselves at the intersection of neuroscience and creativity  with my friend, Amy Pierson. Amy firmly believes that creativity cracks open the soul, each and every one of us is God’s favorite, and living artfully is living authentically.Amy is a long time friend from the spiritual formation community. We met many years ago and have only been together in person a handful of times, but she is the kind of person that you simply pick up where you left off the last time. Intelligent, soulful and with a twinkle in her eye, Amy believes in the importance of expressing our creativity. With a degree in Journalism and Advertising, Amy Pierson has worked for many years in the spiritual formation arena, leading the efforts of the Spiritual Formation Alliance, and completing her Certificate of Christian Spiritual Formation from the Renovare Institute. Amy also served as a digital content creator for a digital platform that champions organizations transforming lives. Most recently, Amy desired to collaborate with others, and Burning Heart Workshops was borne out of her life-long journey with faith, learning, and leadership. Amy lives with her husband and family in Colorado.Learn more from Amy and connect with her on social media:Instagram @amypiepieFacebook @amy.h.pierson

The Neuroscience of Creativity (Gem with Amy Pierson)

My dear friends Joe and Amy Pierson (married 27 years, parents of 6 children and 1 grandchild) bravely share the story of Joe’s 20+ year addiction to pornography.   Yes, it almost ended their marriage.  And pornography ends some marriages. Through hard work, the Savior’s help and a deeply spiritual experience feeling God’s love, Joe has been free of pornography for nearly three years.  It’s a brutal road of shame and dishonesty resulting in significant emotional pain (betrayal trauma) for Amy.   It is also a beautiful love story of Joe and Amy struggling, but determined to keep their marriage together, with 12-step programs, learning to surrender, and the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  When I served as a YSA Bishop, many of the wonderful YSA’s were working to solve this problem.  I wish I had heard Joe and Amy’s story back then.  It would have given me additional tools to help others overcome pornography.    I encourage everyone to listen to this podcast.  It will help you help others.   If you are working to overcome pornography, this podcast will give you more tools and hope. Here are a couple of lines of wisdom from Amy and Joe: My worth is set.  Everything else is experienceRepentance from sin is not the same of recovery from addictionThe 12-steps are the Atonement of Jesus Christ in actionForgiveness and trust are two different things. Amy and Joe are heroes to me (and my others) for bravely sharing their story.  Stories like these are so needed.  They are available to speak in Ward/Stake events.    We have plenty of messages of ‘stay away from pornography’.   I agree with this message.   But we need more stories of people actually walking this road as they authentically help others. Thanks for being on the podcast Joe and Amy.    You two are awesome.
