We all wander in the wilderness. Judgement surrounds us all. But Christ delivers us. Give thanks today for the humble faithful in our lives that help remind us we don’t have to be perfect — that help point us to Christ who first loved us and died to give us new life, despite all our wanderings.

Interesting read about creativity and faith.

"...many of these “exiles” who are leaving the church are also creative types—artists, musicians, entertainers, and filmmakers—who think the church doesn’t know what to do with creatives like them. They want to follow Jesus in a way that connects with the world they live in, partnering with God outside of church walls."

Keep up with the latest on photographer Dave DeVore’s journey into the mission field of Nairobi on his blog. He’s there now. Dave was my guest on the eighth episode of Creative Christians.

God gave each of us talents and creative minds. The first verse in the Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and earth” (Genesis 1:1). God is Creator, and He formed us in His image—so we’re creative, too! When God formed the universe, He could have made a boring environment t...

Listen to inspirational stories of Christians who are using their God-given talents and gifts in creative endeavors, such as filmmaking, writing & music – not just to make a living or fulfill a passion – but to glorify God as well. Host Tim Ristow – a Christian, filmmaker, writer and creative - interviews a different guest each episode from his circle of fellow Christian creatives. How do creatives approach their craft?
