When Jesus spoke, He told parables—simple stories layered with meaning. You don’t have to share His faith to appreciate the brilliance of this approach: He knew that stories reach places facts cannot. They slip past our defenses and awaken something within us.

Art can do the same. When we create with honesty, our work carries more than technique—it carries a piece of us. It can reach deep places in others, stir imagination, and even shift the way they see the world.

That’s why the theme for Creators Mark 2026 is Authentic Storytelling. This is your invitation to go beyond surface beauty. Tell your story—a story that matters to you, that aches to be told. Then shape it into something that draws people in, makes them wonder, and leaves them changed.
