Hey Crashers,
This week on The Hopeful Rhino, Cass and I sat down with our good friend Chris Davenport for a deep and honest conversation about faith, creativity, and the challenges that come with being a worship leader and songwriter.
We talked about what it means to create with authenticity, the subtle ways idolatry can creep into our creative pursuits, and why collaboration and community matter so much in the songwriting process. Chris shared his own journey—the highs, the wrestles, and the courage it takes to make big, faith-filled decisions.
This one will challenge you, encourage you, and maybe even cause you to examine your own creative motivations. We loved this conversation, and we think you will too.
Grace and Peace,
Cass & Rich
