The creative world is full of people and places encouraging you to practice self-care. But what if the self-care that the world is promoting feels a little hollow? Addie Zierman shares with us a new way at looking at self-care on the podcast today. It’s called “resourcing” - and we think you’re going to gain a lot from this concept. Addie Zierman is the author of When We Were on Fire (named one of Publisher’s Weekly’s Best Books of 2013) and of Night Driving: A Story of Faith in the Dark. She lives in Minnesota with her husband and two sons and blogs regularly at addiezierman.com. You can connect with Addie here: Website: https://addiezierman.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/addiezierman Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/addiezierman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/addieziermanwriter/ Our inspiration for this episode comes from a post Addie wrote on her blog, “A Better Way To Think About Self-Care”. Addie shared Jessica Abel’s Growing Gills workbook as something she used to get back on track creativity after a period of taking a step back.

S5 E4: Creativity, Burnout, and a New Way of Looking at Self-Care with Addie Zierman

If someone said that you should be ‘On Fire for Jesus’, what would that make you feel like?  For some, it’s a call to full commitment of their faith and offering their entire life for a higher purpose…for others, it sounds like a misplaced and offensive religious call to martyrdom.  It’s a phrase that gets thrown around a lot, especially in American religious communities.   Today on the Fearless Questions podcast, we have the chance to share a conversation with Addie Zierman where she shares her story of growing-up as an all-in Christian…the good, the bad, and the wake of questions it left behind.  From her first memoir, When We Were On Fire, to her follow-up book Night Driving, Addie offers us an uncommonly honest and personal account of a girl’s heart chasing after God.  instagram @addiezierman Some of you will resonate with her conversation surrounding the Christian youth culture of the 90’s, while others of you will be stopped in your tracks as you hear someone put into words what you have already experienced on your own…depression.   instagram @addiezierman Addie shares quite beautifully the journey of losing the faith you thought you needed for the unexpected gift of a faith that invites you into the unknown.
