Practicing Inspiration: Meeting God Through Creativity
We all know the sensation of inspiration. It’s what tells a painter what to paint, a singer how to sing, and a pastor what to preach. God’s presence lies at the heart of our acts of creativity, enlivening our imaginations as God’s image bearers. But sensing God at work is just the start. Deep surrender to what God might be making through us requires spiritual attunement, discipline, and courage. Our speakers—a practicing fiction writer, Carey Wallace and psychiatrist, Curt Thompson, MD—will guide us through practices to discover the transformative power of inspiration in every aspect of our lives.
