In a captivating conversation with Justin Alan Hayes on Voices for VoicesⓇ, author Sandy Solis delved into the transformative power of finding and pursuing your God-given purpose. As a prophetic novelist and creator of the Spirit Wings series, Sandy offers a refreshing Christian alternative to secular fantasy literature like Harry Potter, but her vision extends far beyond just books.
Sandy's journey exemplifies what happens when we fully embrace our calling. She explained that discovering your identity and purpose often begins with a simple question: "If money wasn't an issue, if I had no restrictions, what would I want to do?" This powerful introspection can reconnect us with dreams we've abandoned along life's journey. Sandy emphasized that partnering with God in this process is crucial because "He made us, He knows what we're perfect at and what has the most satisfaction." This sense of divine purpose carried her through challenging times, particularly during her formative teenage years, giving her focus when many around her were wandering aimlessly.
One of the most compelling aspects of Sandy's approach is her willingness to think beyond conventional limitations. She's not content with simply writing books; she envisions creating full-length motion pictures, video games, merchandise, and even a Christian-themed amusement park—a Kingdom of God world analogous to Universal Studios' Wizarding World but centered on worship and spiritual themes rather than the occult. This expansive thinking demonstrates how a creative calling can evolve into something far greater than initially imagined.
Sandy offered practical advice for aspiring writers and creatives struggling to begin their journey. She recommends establishing a consistent routine—setting aside the same time each day to write, even when inspiration seems distant. "Show up consistently, and something will develop," she advised. This disciplined approach, coupled with the practice of capturing ideas whenever they strike (even at 3 AM), creates the foundation for creative momentum. She also emphasized the importance of flexibility in the creative process, recognizing that inspiration doesn't always arrive on schedule and that methods may need to change over time.
Perhaps most importantly, Sandy highlighted the value of community in pursuing your calling. "Don't be a lone wolf," she cautioned, encouraging listeners to seek mentors, join groups of like-minded individuals, and welcome feedback—both positive and constructive. She likened her creative vision to a tapestry: "The more people involved, the more color in my tapestry." This collaborative approach not only enhances the quality of the work but creates meaningful connections that sustain us through challenges.
The conversation concluded with a powerful reminder that it's never too late to pursue your purpose. Sandy noted that finding and following your calling can give you a reason to get up in the morning, particularly in your later years. "It elongates your life when you're in your golden years if you've got purpose," she observed. The satisfaction of building a legacy—whether through creative works, raising children, or other meaningful contributions—provides a sense of fulfillment that transcends age barriers and temporal limitations.
