The hosts explore how engaging in creative processes can lead to personal growth and a sense of belonging. Listeners are encouraged to discover their own crafts and the beauty they can create. > We have a creator God, who has called us to be like him. And part of that is we are called to be creative. > > Yeah. I think this brings me to a conversation, a thought about the Lord’s Supper. And I think it has shaped me to realize, I do believe the story of God is one that invites us to be participants as creatives, as craftspeople in this world. And I think for me, it radically shaped the way I see that ritual of the Lord’s supper. That these items are brought to a table that are not just these static items. They are bread, that is involved in an entire community of people, certainly in an ancient setting, entire community of people, of migrating farm workers who tended to fields, who picked ripe grapes. And then within wine, there’s this, all of society from people and in poverty to wealthy landowners are sort of all brought together in this meal. And this meal is so laborious to make. It takes so many people to take wine, to make wine, and somehow all of that matters in God’s program, in God’s table. And so to be able to then take that experience, that ritual experience and realize it really matters. The way I go about making the world and making the world is so much more than just making furniture. It is making dinner. It is the life we create together, Melissa and I. It’s the life we create as a community. But it all matters so deeply.
