What propels us to create when rewards aren't guaranteed? Scott (known online as EdgiScript) joins us to explore the profound connection between faith, creativity, and mental well-being in this soul-stirring continuation of our previous conversation.

Scott shares a perspective on creativity that flies in the face of conventional wisdom: "Treat it like you will never make a dime... Do you still want to do it?" This litmus test for authentic passion forms the foundation of his approach to writing Spirit Man Comics and other creative endeavors. Rather than chasing marketplace validation, he creates from an internal wellspring of purpose that ultimately produces more resonant, meaningful work.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Scott compares life to a board game of Monopoly—something we play with intensity and desire to win, but ultimately put away as we move into eternity. "This life, in comparison to eternity, is gone," he reflects, challenging us to consider how this perspective might reshape our priorities and creative pursuits. Is legacy what we think it is? What remains after we're gone?

For creators wrestling with process, Scott offers practical insights into capturing inspiration (he emails himself ideas), overcoming the intimidation of the blank page, and the value of collaboration (his partnership with Paul who handles the business and technical aspects of their comic). His candid admission—"I'm a brilliant idiot"—reveals the humility that permeates his creative philosophy.

We pick up our conversation with Scott (aka EdgiScript) exploring the profound intersection between creative work, faith, and finding purpose in a world obsessed with instant results and legacy.

• Sometimes it's hard to see why God has put us in certain places until we understand the bigger picture
• Planting seeds often requires patience as we may not see the fruit of our work immediately
• Proper mental health comes from realizing our limitations while recognizing the immense worth God places on us
• Life compared to a board game—something we play passionately but ultimately put away as we step into eternity
• Writing advice: approach creative work as if you'll never make money from it to ensure it comes from genuine passion
• The creative process often works best when inspiration drives the work rather than forced discipline
• The blank page presents the biggest challenge for writers—sometimes writing skeletal versions helps overcome this block
• Collaboration is crucial—knowing when to leverage others' strengths complements our own limitations
• Scott's work with Spirit Man Comics focuses on creating meaningful content rather than profit
