The most important work of art is the life that we create. So says author and artist Erwin McManus, and he helps us work through the facets of our creativity, and provide a framework for each of us to bring about something beautiful, good, and true in our lives; to allow our souls to come alive and God’s Kingdom to advance. Join us for a discussion with Erwin McManus reflecting on his latest book The Artisan Soul: Crafting Your Life Into a Work of Art.
Listen as Neil and Erwin unpacking the creative life. They touch on a number of points:
• The definition of an artisan soul
• How our creativity comes from an infinitely creative God
• The distinction between ‘planning’ your life and ‘crafting’ it
• Why, in Erwin’s words, “creativity should be as common as breathing” in everyday life
• How faith and artistry are meant to work hand in hand, and why we often turn them into adversaries
• The importance of developing our craft, and why it liberates others as well as ourselves
• How to overcome discouragement when it comes to discovering our own giftings
