Amanda Cook Reveals Her Creative Process...

Rita Springer
About this episode

Art is alchemy, and Amanda Cook knows how to turn life’s highs and lows into something holy.

Rita Springer sits down with Amanda Cook for a raw, funny, and deeply insightful conversation about songwriting, faith, and the creative life. Together they pull back the curtain on the heart and mind of an artist, exploring the tension between ego and humility, the struggles of imposter syndrome, and the surprising freedom that comes from embracing creative limits.

Amanda shares the story behind her song “Brother Jesus” and how it challenged her spiritual language, deepened her understanding of God, and stretched her as a writer. 

Whether you’re a songwriter, a worship leader, or simply someone who loves the intersection of creativity and faith, this conversation offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that every part of your story, highs, lows, and everything in between, can become part of a greater work of art.
