We had a great time together, sharing a meal, playing board games, and having pleasant conversation. Later, a missionary family joined us, and we praised the Lord in music for about an hour. It was such a sweet time of fellowship. Later that evening, I came home to finish packing before leaving for a trip to Korea (where I am from). As I entered my apartment, a question flashed across my mind: “Where is my home?” (What a timely question!). This question brought a wave of emotions that were hard to explain.

In this two-part article, we will visit Ephesians 2:10 and rethink art, creativity, and our identity.

Art, creativity, and identity. Do you resonate with these words? Art and creativity have so much to do with our identity. People often call themselves artists; some even bear the title “creative director” on their business cards. However, when art or creativity becomes the source of your identity (or identity itself), you will eventually experience things like an inferiority complex, identity confusion, or depression.
