Beyond The Veil w/Sid Tapia

This reflection centres on the newness that comes through the Spirit of God. Drawing from Revelation 21:5 — “Behold, I am making all things new” — and 2 Corinthians 5:17, where the old passes away and the new comes, this video explores what it truly means to be made new in Christ.

In the day after tragedy, words feel thin and silence feels heavy. This episode is a reflection on despair and hope - not as ideas, but as realities we all face.

In this clip I open up on 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where we’re told to give thanks in all circumstances. Not for everything, but in everything. This verse is about recognising God in every season — the joyful, the painful, the confusing, the quiet, the unexpected. Gratitude becomes a weapon. It becomes a foundation. It becomes clarity when the situation looks anything but clear

In this video, I reflect on the discipline of the thought life and how intentional thinking animates our actions. I explore the practical and spiritual side of managing our thoughts daily, bouncing off some scriptures that speak about the mind and renewal. I share personal reflections on how I strive to stay disciplined in what I allow to enter and dwell in my mind, and how aligning our thoughts w...

In this video, I talk about position - what it means to be in the right position in life. We often think about where we are and where we want to be, but positioning is more than goals or achievements - it’s about alignment. I share personal insights into how I found my position in life, the challenges along the way, and what it really takes to move toward where you’re meant to be. But first and fo...

In this video, I speak on trust - where it is best placed with every part of our lives. Trust isn’t found in our ability to hold things together, but in the grace of the One who holds us together. Jesus invites us not just to believe in Him, but to rest in Him. To trust Him when understanding fades, when fear rises, and when the path ahead is unseen. I share reflections on the goodness of God and...

Sin—subtle, familiar, and often underestimated. In this video, I get into what sin truly is, the consequences & their misconceptions, and why only Jesus could conquer it. We talk about the weight of sin, how to measure it rightly, and how the grace / goodness of God frees us from its grip.

In this reflective outdoor video, filmed just before finishing a mural, i share on the fleetingness of life / creativity. Drawing from Solomon’s words in Ecclesiastes, i explore how even our most inspired works — no matter how beautiful — eventually fade. Yet within that fleetingness lies something eternal: the reminder that all creativity is a gift, a whisper from the Creator Himself. This video...

In this month’s update, I share what I’ve been working on during the holidays and what’s coming up for October. You’ll get a look at some of my latest sketches, creative concepts, and the projects I’m preparing for next. I also take a moment to reflect on the creative process, staying motivated through busy times and thge why behind the what.

In this conversation, I sit with my two daughters to explore the meaning and beauty of obedience — what it really means to obey, why it matters, and how it shapes our lives. Together, we open up the word obey, share thoughts and reflections, and discover how obedience is more than rules — it’s about love, trust, respect, and learning through love.

In this video, I explore why to believe, why we believe, and why you ought to believe — through a reflective discourse paired with my painting of an American bald eagle. The eagle stands as a symbol of freedom, vision, and strength, as I connect art with the deeper reasons behind belief and truth.

In this beachside conversation with my youngest daughter, we dive into what fathers truly mean to us, the qualities we cherish in them, and the role they play in shaping lives.

In this video, Skylar-Lovelle and I take a drive together and dive into a fun & meaningful convo about music — its power, influence, and the impact lyrics can have on the heart and mind. We talk about the importance of discerning what we listen to and choosing music that brings life, encouragement, and edification rather than confusion or destruction. More than a conversation about sound — it’...

In this discourse, I delve into the idea of face value—what it means beyond the surface and how our true value is shaped when our hearts are transformed be it through the spirit of the world or through Christ. Not just about appearances, but about identity, authenticity, and living in alignment with who we’re truly called to be. I share personal reflections, struggles, and insights on how a renewe...

In this video i share a vulnerable and unfiltered conversation about identity: the confusion, the searching, the pain, and the breakthrough moments that led me to stand strong in who I am today. My hope is that through some of my story and this artwork, you’ll be inspired to live out your true identity and live it boldly—because the world needs the real YOU.

In this short conversation, I sit beside my latest mural-in-progress to share thoughts on preparation - both in art and in life. Just like a mural begins long before the first brushstroke, our own journeys are shaped by the groundwork we put in. Whether you’re creating art, building dreams, or simply navigating your next step, preparation sets the tone for the masterpiece ahead.

What started as a casual chat outdoors turned into something much sweeter. In this episode, I sit down with my youngest daughter for a fun, honest, and surprisingly profound conversation about patience. You’ll hear laughter and insights from both of us — as a dad and a young mind growing in wisdom. Sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen in the simplest settings — and often, children ha...

In this short video, I take you behind the scenes of a special mural I painted at a client's home — where trust opened the door to creativity. The owner gave me the freedom to paint what I desired after a simple conversation about themes and ideas he liked. Holding a hammer in one hand and a crayon in the other — a symbol of both power and imagination. The heroic outfit hints at potential, whi...

In this short reflection, i touch on the Hebrew word "RAE" (רַע) — a word for evil, often triggered out of revenge. Bouncing off my latest piece, I speak about the destructive trap revenge sets and how our response to being wronged can be an opportunity for greatness, true resolve and justice.

In this episode, I share a glimpse of my oil painting titled Abraham—a portrait of faith - and reflect on what faith means and its application. I explore the definition of faith, how it applies to our everyday lives, and why how it's essential. Whether you’re new to understanding faith or have walked in it for years, this ought to encourage you to live boldly, walk humbly, and believe for the unse...

Sometimes it takes losing what we had planned…to gain what we really needed. In this video, I share about losing your life to gain it — to surrender your own way and trust the process, even when things don't go as expected. We were meant to paint outdoors at Surface Festival on the Gold Coast, but rain pushed us inside. The message? You can’t lose when you’ve given it to God. I painted live on a 2...

My garden got out of control - weeds everywhere. But it got me thinking... our spiritual lives are the same. Growth doesn’t happen just by planting good intentions. It takes removing what chokes the life out of us — sin, distractions, bitterness, pride. In this video, I reflect on what it truly means to grow in Christ - not just outwardly, but deep in the soul. We talk about weeds, wounds, and wha...

In this unscripted word, I talk about what it means to be truely equipped for this world. Whether you feel unqualified, unseen, or unsure. We often wait for the perfect conditions or the right “moment,” but God equips us in the hidden places long before the platform. This isn’t about having it all together. It’s about trusting that what’s been placed in you is more than enough for the season you’r...

In this video, I unpack the connection between the sunflower’s attraction to the sun and our soul’s attraction to the Son — Jesus Christ. My painting Sun Butter is more than just an abstract sunflower — it’s a picture of how we’re created to turn toward His light, kind of like sunflowers following the sun throughout the day.

What does it really mean to be strong? In this video, I spray paint one final word onto a piece that’s been speaking to me for some time — Hardy aka strength. Not just talking about physical power. I’m talking about spiritual strength — the kind that helps you stand when life knocks you up and down. Whether you're in a season of breakthrough or barely holding on, this is for you. Join me in the mo...
