A Quick Shout Out
Posted on July 19, 2009
When it comes to creativity, I think it's good to borrow ideas from other leaders. I think it's important. But I think it's even more important to give credit where credit is due. So I want to give a quick shout out to my good friend, Craig Groeschel. Every now and then, Craig and I will call or text just to bounce ideas off of one another.
I always say, "God gave you eyes, plagerize." Of course, I don't mean that literally. But I do think we need to look at the ideas from other leaders and use them within our own contexts. Over the next several weeks, I'll be talking more and more about this.
But that's one of the main reasons for CreativePastors.com. I want to help you bring as much creativity to your church as possible. And we're getting more and more leaders to contribute their resources to bring more and more creativity your way. No matter what size your church is; whether it's urban or rural, you'll find ideas that work for you.
And a while back, Craig brought up a phenomenal idea for a series – an idea that became At the Movies at Fellowship Church. For the past month, this series has been one of the most popular series we've ever done.
So thanks for the initial idea, Craig. We took what you had and put it through our own creative filter at Fellowship. And to give you a quick glimpse of the influence it's had, here's a snapshot from our Miami campus last weekend.
Thanks again, Craig. God used you more than you may ever know!
Got something to say?
