Hey there Reader!

​

Enjoy this week's spark for your creativity:

• Discovering your creative calling. My friend Craig recently interviewed me on his God Sized Stories podcast. In this episode, I share my journey of discovering the role arts play in the mission. He's got lots of other great content too. Be sure to check him out.
  ​
• This week's art gleanings. I've started adding some of my problems and takeaways over on my website regarding the process of illustrating a Puritan picture book.
  ​
• How do you journal? Creative work is always an interplay between imagination, play, and thought. And journaling is one part of the journey. I enjoy seeing others do it: journaling stories, Austin Kleon's 4 different notebooks, ten other types of journaling, and John Hendrix's Drawing is Magic prompt book. Maybe you do to.
  ​
• How to find your visual voice (John Hendrix). Whether you are a visual artist or not, you might find some wisdom in this presentation by John Hendrix. I just recently came across Hendrix. I wish college-age-art-school-new-Christian Matt had known about him!
  ​
• Certificate in Theology and the Arts. Speaking of school, no doubt, it is expensive. So when opportunities come with cheaper options, I like looking into them. Fuller Theological Seminar now has a certificate in Theology and Arts you can get for just around $1,000. See if this curriculum is something you're looking for. (**Thanks Jon Tello for passing this on!)
  ​
• Consider: A day well spent. Seth Godin delivers such simple and incredible advice here. Before making decisions, take a moment and consider the end, or, the purpose. What does a day well spent look like? Then align your day (*cough* life) to that.
