Creativity

“So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he
created them.” Genesis 1:27

The Creator and Master of the universe left his finger prints on you, his child. He made you to resemble him, putting qualities of himself - including creativity - in you. You might not be an artist or musician or designer or writer, but you are creative because you were made by a creative God who made you in his image.

Life Coaching

  1. What is a creative dream you have but don’t think is possible?
  2. Where, in your life and your ministry, does it excite you to be creative?
  3. Where, in your life and ministry, is it challenging to be creative?
forget all the sentences that begin with “yes, but…” and journal for a few minutes about what that dream would look like if you risked pursuing it.

Prayer: God, who created the heaven and the earth and everything in them, thank you for making me in your image. Thank you for the privilege it is to be like you. Thank you for making me creative. Please put in my heart and mind the passion and wisdom and courage to pursue the creative dreams you have given me in life and in youth ministry. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Youth Room - Part 1

If money was not an option, what would be in your youth room?

A few youth workers gave me their dream ideas:
  • multiple game systems
  • lounge/living room area (new not cast offs)
  • ping-pong table
  • foosball
  • air hockey
  • snack & beverage area
  • lighting system
  • sound system
  • HD projector
  • multiple HD flat screen tv’s
  • open wifi
  • stage
  • seating around small round tables.
  • mirrored disco ball
  • full sized gym

What's would you add to this list?

Share your youth room photos here and I will post them next week for part 2 of The Youth Room.
