I’ve heard the statement God created man in his own image...

I’ve heard the statement God created man in his own image so many times over my lifetime. From my days of being forced to sit quietly with my hands crossed in Sunday school to the numerous times that I had to attend church on those rare special occasions. I’ve even heard this statement over the thousands of hours of TV I have watched over the years.

I’ve never really given it much thought until recently because it’s always been background noise and had no real-life relevance in my day to day life. If you asked me what it meant a couple of years ago, I would have told you that it was written in the bible to control the masses.

Although my relationship with God is much stronger today than yesterday, there are still questions that intrigue me. What image does God create today? Is the person you see in the mirror, purely God’s image, or does God somehow shape your perception of yourself? Does God create his vision of what you should be, or does God create you as a reflection of how you see yourself?

It’s funny sometimes when you have heard a phrase or read a book for a second or third time, and suddenly you see something different than before. It’s the reason I read a good book multiple times. I don’t claim to have the answers to these questions, and I never will.

However, I do believe your perception of yourself is a direct connection to God, and the image you hold of yourself will ultimately create who you become. If your picture of yourself is somehow related to God’s image of you, maybe you should take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself this question. Who’s really looking back?

If you know this version of me well, then you will know that my mission is to inspire others to follow their passion and discover a strength within themselves. I have a few ideas about how I will accomplish this in 2020 and beyond, but I’m not exactly sure how it will play out just yet. That’s the fun part! For now, I’m going to continue to tell stories that not only inspire but make you rethink what’s possible.

Storytelling was never on my radar when I started this mission a few years ago, but I now believe it is another avenue where I can accomplish my big vision. In the spirit of giving, I’ve decided to put out my latest book Reimagined Artist completely free in 2020. No strings attached. It’s on every platform I could get it on, so feel free to check it out and let me know what you think!

I plan on writing three more books in this series in 2020, so stay tuned and #stayinspired

Reimagined Artist by Topher Pike

When all hope is lost after the death of his mother, a multi-talented 17-year-old graffiti writer turns to suicide before uncovering a mysterious half-brother who shows him a different path.

It’s the first anniversary of his mother’s fatal car crash, and 17-year-old graffiti writer Oliver Murphy sits in front of her grave once again, contemplating his inevitable suicide.

When his alcoholic father is also found dead from an apparent drug overdose a few days later, Oliver’s decision is finally made. While saying goodbye to his mother one last time, he’s shocked by the appearance of a man twice his age sitting in front of his mother’s grave.

When it turns out the man is his mysterious older half-brother, he decides to postpone his suicide to learn more about him. Not only does Oliver find a disturbing secret from his mother’s past, but he also discovers a whole new world of possibility and spirituality through the eyes of a brother he never knew existed.
