"Over the years, I’ve encountered many artisans,
musicians, craftsmen and other creative ones who have, for one
reason or
another, become stuck. The ‘stuckness’ originates
from many different places – woundedness, fear, control,
unbelief, religious barriers – and creates a frustration
in their life that becomes unbearable. Many artists, unable to
understand what’s really going on either run headlong into ‘creativity
for creativities sake’ or turn to unhealthy alternatives
in order to numb or overcome the pain they are feeling. Many
more simply give up, hide the gift by stuffing it down under ‘Christian
work ethic’ and just try to gone on with life as usual."
Matt Tommey from Unlocking the Heart of the Artist.
Whatever your flavor of ‘stuckness’, the Father
wants you to be fully released to worship Him through your creative
expression. His desire is that nothing holds you back from creative
destiny for your life – not even yourself. This weekend
is about embracing the divine calling for your life as an artist
in the Kingdom, getting in touch with your unique prophetic voice
and releasing it in a way that not only effects culture, but
the heavens. It’s also about you being fulfilled and happy!
The Father’s desire for your life is not that you just
be productive or even that you work for Him – it’s
that you live a life fully engaged in His presence; a joyful,
passionate and creative life where you’re enjoying Him
as much as He enjoys you!
This weekend
experience includes worship, 3 main worship & teaching sessions,
personal ministry appointments for each participant and a hands-on
creativity workshop.
