The Heart of a Creative

Session Notes


“This is my life's work: helping people understand and respond to this Message. It came as a sheer gift to me, a real surprise, God handling all the details. When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no background in God’s way, I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities. And so here I am, preaching and writing about things that are way over my head, the inexhaustible riches and generosity of Christ. My task is to bring out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along. Through followers of Jesus like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels!” - Ephesians‬ ‭3:8-10‬ ‭MSG 

We are Administrators of the Mysteries of God. As Creatives working and living in the context of serving God in ministry, our abilities and giftings are acts of worship to Him. We are creative but we are also in order. We are in ministry, so we strive for an excellent offering to bring to Christ. We serve our church through the art we create, the services we produce, and the people we steward on our teams. He has equipped us, formed us, and qualified each of us to do this great work together.

The Mystery (Spirit Led Creativity)

Our Goal with Content Creation
“We create art that speaks truth, beauty, and God’s Kingdom. We want to give people a glimpse of what God has been doing behind the scenes all along.” 

“And to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.” - ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

How do we Create as a team? | Spirit Led Creativity: 

  • Starts with Presence 
    • Find ways for God to breath on our creativity 
  • Needs Collaboration.
    • Intentionally create space to collaborate
    • We strive for feedback from our peers 
  • Requires Moments of Disconnect
    • Sometimes we need to disconnect from a  project and allow God to speak again.
  • Seek out Clarity 
    • Look to leadership to provide insight, and breath on the clarity that is provided. 
    • We support the clarity
