April 11, 2007What if the whole earth was actually filled with the glory of God?
What if all of creation is groaning and hoping for even more beauty yet to be revealed?

April 9, 2007When God created us as creative beings, he must’ve known that we were going to make a mess of things.
Attempting to creatively teach creativity for me had its share of unfortunate incidences as well.
I should have known better that with candles and crayons available people would’ve put the creatively put the two together and caused [...]

April 8, 2007During our Creativity & Spirituality sessions I attempted to creatively take people through the overarching narrative of the Scriptures.

March 30, 2007In our ‘class’ people are gathered in groups of four. To share not necessarily a ‘testimony’ but an experience or a moment in which they felt God became in anyway possibly more real to them.

March 28, 2007Entering the room - I tried to create an environment that was different from any thing people were use to. Lights were shut off. Candles were scattered.

March 27, 2007Over the next while the bulk of my writings will center around Spirituality & Creativity.

Together (that means you), I hope to explore [...]

February 19, 2007I’m teaching a series of classes of classes this March on “Experiencing God through the Creative Journey“.
If anyone else has any ideas on creatively teaching creativity, whether it’s through biblical foundations, practical expressions, or corporate experiences that can be facilitated, I’d love to hear about them.
The current session titles are:
Creativity through the Creator God
Creativity through [...]
