In this episode, I speak with artist Tonya Cruz about her journey of faith, motherhood, and creativity. Tonya shares her experiences of navigating spiritual dryness, the importance of community, and the challenges of church hurt. We discuss how to find purpose through creativity and the significance of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus amidst life's challenges.
