ERB Editor C. Christopher Smith spoke with two first-time guests on our podcast, Carey Wallace and Charlie Peacock, about their careers and varied experiences of pursuing creative work. They consider the role of community in creativity, what it means to be “inspired,” and how they recount these observations in their recent books. They reflect on the connections between the act of surrender, spiritual disciplines, and hearing from God in the midst of various creative acts.
Charlie Peacock is a Billboard chart-topping musical creator, a six-time Grammy Award-winning music producer (Folk, Country, Rock Gospel), and three-time recipient of the Gospel Music Association’s Producer of the Year award (his recordings and productions exceed 25 million albums). Named by Billboard’s Encyclopedia of Record Producers as one of the 500 most important producers in popular music history, Charlie has produced music for film and television and held executive and A&R positions at EMI/Universal and Sony/ATV.
Carey Wallace is an author, songwriter, and artist based in Brooklyn. Her previous books include The Blind Contessa’s New Machine, The Ghost in the Glass House, Stories of the Saints, and Psalms of Wonder. She is the founder of the Creative Discipline Class, which helps people from all walks of life find inspiration and build strong creative habits to sustain a lifetime of creation.
