Creativity is not just a buzzword, it is one of the most underutilized gifts from God in the church. In two weeks you’ll learn about growing faith and discipleship through offering your creativity to God. Find out why some people don’t want to be creative and why others believe they are not creative enough. Apply creativity to your ministry to bring joy to others. Serve and teach to empower others to use their creativity for God.
In this course you will:
- Identify the differences in creative problem-solving between David, Gideon, and Jacob and how this impacts you
- Study some of the creative twists God brought to impossible situations and how this encourages us today.
- Focus on your creative process, timing, and understanding to increase creative effectiveness and collaboration
Take a deep breath and be inspired to bless others with the unique creative gifts God has called you to share.
This course is eligible for 1.0 CEU.
