Creativity=TIME – Randy Kilpatrick

Wesley Brainard — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:56:39 +0000

It takes intentionality to involve creativity past the normal worship template that we so easily just trade out hymns and choruses and choir numbers. "Creativity takes time...but it's well worth it." says my friend and Associate Minister of Worship at Tallowood Baptist Church in Houston, TX. I sat down with Randy in Tulsa when he was in town for the Baptist Music Conference. Please let me know your thoughts...

We spent an amazing 4 days in the Engeltal Valley over the Christmas/New Year Holiday. God met us in some pretty amazing ways. Our time continued to build from beginning to end. At the end, I sat down with Anna Hagen who delivered a powerful word that will impact my journey for many months to come.

Michael Summers – Creativity Conference

Wesley Brainard — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:49:46 +0000

Michael Summers is passionate about connecting to this generation and he sits down with me to talk about how important it is to employ creativity as we develop relationships with a media saturated culture. Please consider joining us for the Art to Heart Conference as we delve into these issues and more. "We've moved past the age of the orator and into the age of the artist." In a media saturated culture, cutting through the clutter seems overwhelming. In the Art to Heart Conference at Wayland Baptist University, we're gathering to take on the challenge with Spirit empowered creativity and with practical tools that communicate an uncompromising Gospel in a way that connects. Take away practical tools that will inspire creativity. Empower those creatively gifted among you (in your church) to give their gift to God. And, explore creativity in worship, education, and evangelism. Join us April 22nd at Wayland Baptist University from (10am - 3pm). Lunch will be provided. For more information please contact: Michael Summers (806) 291-3408 or email Michael Summers at: summersm@wbu.edu
