From In the Beginning We Create No matter the creative discipline, we can offer our creativity back to God. We can become a worship leader without a mic, a worshiper equipped with creative acumen whose instrument is a laptop, paintbrush, camera, clay, pen, pencil, or a Conté crayon. No matter the avenue, we can render our services to the glory of God, making our mark one piece at a time. One project at a time. Turning ideas into ideals.” —from chapter two, “Creativity”
