Imagination

Rick McKinley
What does it look like for the Kingdom of God to be expressed through the gifts, passions, creativity and callings of the people in the church? Creating a platform for cultural creatives to work together can create a movement that will transform your city and the world.

I hear hope in your words! to often the creative thinker gets pushed aside in favor of a hard charging type A who gets things done even if God doesn't want it done, Production baby, that will keep the big church getting bigger, right! Yes that may be true but God is speaking to creative people who are often soft spoken and yet may have a deeper sensitivity to what the Holy Spirit is saying. I believe it takes courage (like your displaying) to open yourself up to the imagination of creative thinkers, sometimes it can be a messier way of "doing business" but when we do, the product ends up much bigger and better than we can ever imagine. It's a lot like teaching kids how to think instead of what to think! When you teach them how, it gives them the courage and confidence that God has instilled in them the tools to encounter any situation with the wonderment of imagination and through the uniqueness of their creative perspective.
