• 1:30
  Parker. Welcome to the millennial
• 1:32
  must-see podcast, and thank you for having me.
• 1:35
  I have been looking forward to this.
• 1:38
  You're interviewing authors. You've been doing this for over
• 1:40
  ten years now. Is that right?
• 1:42
  Well, just about ten years. I've been doing it now for nine
• 1:46
  years, showcasing, Russian authors worldwide, I wanted to
• 1:50
  talk about creation and I want To talk about why it is
• 1:54
  important for believers to create.
• 1:57
  Let's start off with what is creation and I'm going to use
• 2:01
  generic terms but we already know that creation which is the
• 2:05
  ability to build out of nothing comes from God.
• 2:09
  Because in the beginning God created we have God already
• 2:13
  existing who has never been created creating and he gives us
• 2:19
  in a small portion. This communicable attribute of
• 2:22
  creation. This becomes extremely important
• 2:26
  when you consider that everybody on the planet, has the ability
• 2:32
  to create every single person when he formed Adam and then
• 2:39
  created Eve, he created two things, a man, a woman and then
• 2:44
  they came together and create it.
• 2:46
  What a family that never existed before until they got together,
• 2:50
  okay? This becomes Important when you
• 2:53
  realize that then creation isn't just about the Arts it's about
• 2:58
  affecting the place and influencing the place around
• 3:03
  you. So again I'm going to repeat,
• 3:06
  everyone has the ability to create you create.
• 3:12
  By cleaning up your house, there's something I don't do
• 3:15
  very well. You create, when you build
• 3:19
  moments with your children, you are what creating memories, most
• 3:24
  people who follow my podcasts know, that my grandmother passed
• 3:27
  away, November 5th of last year. And there was a void in my life.
• 3:32
  But I have wonderful thousands of memories of her in my life.
• 3:38
  We created memories together and those memories live.
• 3:41
  One. If you affect change around you
• 3:45
  you're also creating so that's the general term of creation.
• 3:48
  Affecting influencing the place around you hopefully for better.
• 3:55
  Wow the that's very thought-provoking.
• 4:00
  What really resonated with me as you were kind of breaking down?
• 4:03
  What creation is what it looks like.
• 4:06
  You know it's one of the unique resemblance has we have when God
• 4:10
  said he made us in his likeness And His Image.
• 4:12
  It's your humps. All right, it's that God is the
• 4:15
  ultimate Creator and we're like these little Echoes.
• 4:18
  You know, spit displaying this beauty to be able to cultivate
• 4:23
  and create an influence and it kind of reminds me of the
• 4:27
  mustard seed. The thing about the mustard seed
• 4:33
  is that it's so small. And the Lord used that, when he
• 4:36
  talks about faith, he doesn't ask you to be equipped.
• 4:41
  He just asked you to be there. The mustard seed is there, it's
• 4:46
  not, it's not even doing much of anything.
• 4:48
  If you think about it, someone else has to water.
• 4:50
  It is just has to be what available and so creation
• 4:55
  permeates, every part of our Lives.
• 5:00
  Create Liberty. Rather the creative act is
• 5:03
  always about pushing boundaries within a framework.
• 5:08
  For example, a scientist can create a product or process for
• 5:13
  the benefit of way, Humanity. That's he's created.
• 5:17
  We don't often see scientists as creators but they are creators.
• 5:22
  That's why we should never be anti-science.
• 5:26
  You're basically being anti creation.
• 5:28
  However, we do need to understand that scientists have
• 5:31
  also been given the ability to create by God because he gives
• 5:36
  them the unique ability to understand how things work
• 5:40
  within the body on our planet. In various multiple disciplines.
• 5:44
  The cosmos, he gives us the ability to understand that when
• 5:49
  I saw those pictures from James Webb Rod, I was blown away.
• 5:55
  I was like, look how beautiful this all is and we have the
• 6:01
  wonderful opportunity. Unity to discover God's
• 6:04
  creativity in the cosmos. Wow, that he gives us the
• 6:09
  ability to use, mathematical equations to send a satellite to
• 6:15
  asteroid 7 million miles away and we can move its orbit.
• 6:21
  That's amazing. What are we?
• 6:22
  What are we doing? We're creating hmm.
• 6:25
  So the mustard seed is just there.
• 6:29
  It's just has to be available, your ability, whatever that is
• 6:32
  if you are one of those people who like to create flower
• 6:35
  arrangements, what are you doing?
• 6:37
  You're Dating something, beautiful.
• 6:39
  If you are a person who likes to fix broken broken things, what
• 6:43
  are you doing? You're creating what
• 6:45
  Improvement? You're making things better.
• 6:48
  Maybe you. Like to think really hard on
• 6:50
  things. There are people who are deep
• 6:53
  thinkers rod and they think very deeply, they'll sit there and
• 6:57
  mull over an issue a problem. What are they doing?
• 7:01
  They're creating intellectual things for people to gnaw and
• 7:07
  chew on. So if you like to cook whatever,
• 7:10
  you create an experience because some of our best experience
• 7:12
  happened over food, we have a good family dinner then also do
• 7:17
  Uncle. Sam goes crazy and does
• 7:19
  something weird like oh girl I was eating my mom's cheesecake.
• 7:24
  That's what it is. So we have to broaden our view
• 7:27
  of creativity and I should also say that some of this come from
• 7:30
  this, some of this Foundation I've run by creation, comes from
• 7:34
  another author of how on the show before named Alan Arnold.
• 7:37
  He's Really big about creation. So, if you want to get more
• 7:40
  about what this is about, go to his book.
• 7:42
  The Story of with his name's Alan Arnold, you get online, and
• 7:46
  he'll help you. Also broaden your idea about
• 7:49
  Croatia. So I definitely want to make
• 7:50
  sure that I give honor to whom honor is due, but he also has
• 7:54
  helped me develop my own source and my own ideas about creation
• 7:58
  as well. So let me ask you this, Parker,
• 8:01
  how do you see creativity being attacked in the younger
• 8:05
  generation today? What's one of the big red flags
• 8:09
  that you see like wow we need to watch out for this.
• 8:14
  For younger people, they are more isolated than we were.
• 8:19
  We go to the mall. We will go to the park.
• 8:22
  We go to the playground. The first thing your parents did
• 8:24
  was kick you out for house. We can make sure you're back by
• 8:28
  a certain time. So the young people are missing
• 8:31
  experiences, the only experiences that they're having
• 8:34
  tend to be virtual, they tend to be via social media.
• 8:38
  They tend to be able to create a facade, which is creation, but
• 8:42
  it's not a Real facade. It's your online Persona
• 8:46
  experience is something that's lacking and I like a lot of
• 8:49
  young people. They don't have the ability to
• 8:53
  deal with certain things that we do.
• 8:55
  So I think that's one one form of attack.
• 8:58
  The next form of attack is that you have institutions or some
• 9:02
  popular people with big voices saying certain people, cannot
• 9:07
  create certain things. One of those things that I get
• 9:11
  and this is not a very popular opinion as an African-American
• 9:14
  author. I have my white counterparts may
• 9:17
  come to me and say, hey Parker, I want to create a black
• 9:20
  character in my story and I'll go.
• 9:22
  Okay, let me know when you finish the book.
• 9:24
  I'd like to read it. That's me.
• 9:26
  This is me. And one young lady was almost in
• 9:29
  tears because she wanted to create a black character, but
• 9:31
  was told by someone else that you're white, you can't create a
• 9:35
  black character and I remember being so, Curry hearing that as
• 9:41
  a. Who are you to regulate?
• 9:42
  What I do with my own story? This is my story.
• 9:46
  Another thing that causes creativity be under attack is
• 9:50
  when we instead of having expression, we have a checklist,
• 9:54
  make sure you have this. Make sure you have this, make
• 9:57
  sure you have this. I think that's another form of
• 10:00
  attack. Satan cannot create, you have to
• 10:03
  understand where this comes from, because he cannot create.
• 10:06
  The only thing you can do is corrupt and he can corrupt us.
• 10:09
  Because he can influence people to tell other people how to
• 10:15
  create their own Creations, so he can come into someone else's
• 10:20
  domain and that person has a big mouth and said, okay, why
• 10:24
  officers cannot use Black authors in their stories instead
• 10:28
  of saying, hey, if you're going to use a different culture in
• 10:31
  your story, for example, make sure you come from a place of
• 10:35
  knowledge, ask questions go to people.
• 10:37
  Let's say when I was writing, My Chinese romance, I had to go x,
• 10:43
  a Chinese author, if I'm depicting, this culture
• 10:45
  particular way, now I should say if the culture is not important
• 10:50
  to the story. If the ethnicity is simply
• 10:53
  descriptive and I wouldn't go to them because it's not important
• 10:57
  to the story. I'm not trying to depict a
• 10:59
  Chinese culture. My character just happens to be
• 11:02
  Chinese, who's on, Mars, fighting off zombies.
• 11:05
  You know, I'm saying. So not really important to the
• 11:08
  discussion. Unless, you know, we have an
• 11:12
  alternate world where instead of Earth being colonized we have
• 11:15
  Mars being colonized and this is a massive Martian caught, you
• 11:17
  know? Chinese Colony.
• 11:18
  There is something like that. You know, I just went off the
• 11:21
  deep end but but that's what I mean.
• 11:24
  So that's why I think how creativity is being attacked
• 11:27
  through those various means, oh, very well said.
• 11:30
  And I definitely agree with a lot of what you just said right
• 11:33
  there. My next question.
• 11:36
  How do we inculcate the next Narration.
• 11:40
  How do we get them? So deeply involved with wanting
• 11:45
  to create and how do we kind of like assure them along in a
• 11:49
  healthy way? What kind of advice would you
• 11:51
  have for us? Nowadays from what I've been
• 11:55
  told because I don't have kids of my own.
• 11:57
  So this is what I've been told. Children want to be heard,
• 12:01
  listen to what they're saying. They want someone they can
• 12:04
  depend on that. They can go to it doesn't matter
• 12:07
  that you're older. I just recently had a
• 12:10
  conversation with someone saying well I'm in my 60s.
• 12:13
  Can I really be effective with someone with a kids and the kids
• 12:17
  were Spellbound by her when she went to go speak out of school
• 12:20
  because they want to hear you. You have to be open to that.
• 12:24
  Let your children create if it's a story, fine.
• 12:29
  If it's them working and fiddling with their things if
• 12:31
  they're clean up the house, if your home if they are naturally.
• 12:34
  Homemakers, for example, there is one of my people my spirit
• 12:38
  influence. Daughter likes to cook and bake.
• 12:41
  It's not something someone put inside of her.
• 12:43
  It's a natural thing that she does, which even when she was a
• 12:46
  baby, she liked to have the little not a baby because you
• 12:50
  can't hold anything in your baby while she was a little toddler.
• 12:52
  She used to use a little toy Ovens that she would make things
• 12:57
  and pull out want to serve you dinner.
• 12:58
  It was something that was naturally inside her, because
• 13:00
  her mother hated cooking. It's a natural thing.
• 13:05
  Go ahead and courage that find out what you kids like to create
• 13:09
  and Most important of all create with them.
• 13:13
  Wow. Create some build those things
• 13:16
  together. One thing Alan Arnold says that
• 13:18
  when we co-create, what? God, we don't, we want to
• 13:21
  sometimes create for God instead of co-creating with God.
• 13:26
  And when God allow, when we co-create with God, he builds it
• 13:29
  up because we're actually creating for audience of one for
• 13:33
  him because all this can pass away.
• 13:36
  If something happened on my bus can go.
• 13:39
  Now, but if I'm creating for him, guess what?
• 13:43
  He's going to be glorified? He's going to be blessed.
• 13:45
  So, in the same way as he called create with the Lord, and
• 13:49
  whatever capacity that is, if our children want to create,
• 13:52
  co-create with them, help them along their way.
• 13:54
  They want to be entrepreneurs and that's happening a lot.
• 13:57
  More often Rod you have these young entrepreneurs, wanting a
• 14:00
  man, 9 years old, a millionaire. Remember think who's your mom
• 14:06
  and dad because I have questions, So that's what I
• 14:10
  would suggest. So one of the last questions I
• 14:14
  have for you is what is one of the most influential experiences
• 14:20
  regarding feedback from someone who's read one of your 40?
• 14:24
  Different books is something resonated with you so deeply and
• 14:29
  you just kind of understood that something that you captured
• 14:32
  during this creating process of whatever book.
• 14:34
  It might be had such a significant role in changing or
• 14:40
  Meeting the need of the reader that it stuck with you.
• 14:47
  In one of my earlier works, I wrote about a character who
• 14:51
  hated herself and that was also a reflection of my own low
• 14:55
  self-esteem at the time. And in the story, the young lady
• 15:01
  realizes that beauty is in the eye of the Creator, not the
• 15:05
  beholder. And I had a young lady, reach
• 15:09
  out to me and said, thank you so much for putting that in this
• 15:13
  book because I have also struggled with that.
• 15:16
  And And it is the Lord who makes me beautiful, not anyone else.
• 15:21
  Looking at me who makes you beautiful?
• 15:24
  And when I heard that it was the first time I realized that there
• 15:27
  are deeper things going on that just telling a good story even
• 15:31
  though I was just using my own experience of coming to grips
• 15:35
  with being happy with who I am in the Lord, as opposed to
• 15:40
  wanting to look As nice as I can for the outside world and low
• 15:46
  self-esteem is something I've talked about before and I still
• 15:49
  struggle with it. Sometimes I can't help.
• 15:51
  Is that monkey on my back, it can't get rid of, you know, they
• 15:54
  just have to keep fighting every day and that was a very profound
• 15:59
  moment that there was more to this thing that just telling
• 16:01
  good story. And that people are reading,
• 16:04
  what I am writing now was the earlier book and that made me
• 16:08
  feel pretty good. Lately, I had a reader who said
• 16:11
  I have read all Books and you have grown.
• 16:14
  As a writer that was probably one of the best moments of my
• 16:18
  life. This conversation so far has
• 16:21
  been edifying for me. I it's really neat to be able to
• 16:25
  actually be talking with you and kind of like get to ask the
• 16:28
  question and just sit back and listen to your answer.
• 16:33
  I think it's you definitely have a gift to be doing what you're
• 16:36
  doing and I would just say don't grow weary in doing good due
• 16:41
  season. We're definitely going to reap.
• 16:43
  That's the hard part is don't grow weary in trying to create
• 16:48
  particularly people who Our authors, we grow weary we get
• 16:52
  tired, life interferes, if you create by making sure your house
• 16:58
  is clean. So when your family comes home
• 17:01
  they have a safe place to rest. If you are at work and you work
• 17:06
  really hard to make sure the project is done, but you may not
• 17:08
  get the accolades and acknowledgements that you doing
• 17:12
  remember as my mother would say Jesus is the best paymaster, not
• 17:16
  anyone down here. So why are you creating member
• 17:19
  York? creating 41 and don't get weary
• 17:21
  of that present as an offering to him and offering a creation
• 17:25
  if you will what a refreshing message and reminder, in the
• 17:31
  days that we live in, I know that There's not a lot of pure
• 17:39
  motive in the world today at least not under the Limelight.
• 17:46
  So it's just very refreshing to be able to hear your perspective
• 17:49
  and your answers for some of these questions and Creating
• 17:54
  yeah let's let's all kind of think about that as wherever you
• 17:58
  guys are. When you listen to this, think
• 18:00
  about creating a safe environment for our family.
• 18:04
  Mmm. That's a message that clearly
• 18:06
  is. Barely non-existent in the
• 18:09
  Public Square today. Creating peace and her household
• 18:15
  by taking every thought captive Into The Obedience of Christ.
• 18:20
  Creating a conversation intentionally with somebody who
• 18:23
  may hold different views than than you.
• 18:26
  Some of my greatest rewards have literally been from taking the
• 18:31
  step of faith and cultivating areas that people like to stay
• 18:35
  very far away from. I found it to be so rewarding
• 18:38
  and it's also challenged me to go further and dig deeper and
• 18:44
  Depend on God, more. So with all that being said,
• 18:47
  Parker do you want to leave us with some information as to
• 18:51
  where the listeners can find one of your 40 different books and
• 18:55
  where they can find your show? You can find me online at Parker
• 19:00

• 19:03
  books, for those who may I do, write romances, we clean
• 19:07
  romances. And for those who don't like
• 19:10
  those, I'm sorry, that's my primary work is so I am working
• 19:15
  on some By for those who like sci-fi, but you can find them
• 19:18
  all online. I right exclusively with Amazon,
• 19:21
