Beauty as a Signpost, A Tool to Stop You From Organizing Things, and Bright Shoes That Show Us What Matters
5 things worth sharing this week
Hey — It’s Rich and Cass.
Hope you’ve had a great week!!
Thanks for all the kind words on “The Worship & Creative Leaders Academy”.
Glad you love it.
Look out for new updates coming this week!!
Now, here’s 2 ideas from us, 2 snippets from others & 1 spark of inspiration!
TWO IDEAS FROM RICH & CASS
RICH WRITES:
“You can lead creatives by venting your frustrations… (the way most people lead).
Or the better way, by learning to inspire with imagination shared vision… (the more difficult way).
One way tells people everything that’s wrong; the other invites them into possibilities.
One gets things off your chest; the other gets things off the ground.
In my experience, great leaders choose inspiration over irritation.”
CASS WRITES:
“Remember, beauty is a signpost to God. It’s a reflection of what we think of Him. Your creativity isn’t meaningless! It’s worthy, valuable and a part of your worship!”

Don’t keep the Rapid 5 to yourself…
Share it with a friend.
TWO SNIPPETS FROM OTHERS
How often do you make excuses?
“Knowing your personality and your sensitivities does not excuse you from ministry. It means that you need to prepare for it differently than others might.”
Friends, don’t neglect what God is asking of you because of who he’s made you to be!
Embrace both!

They had us at…
“Remember everything. Organize nothing.”
With “Mymind”, you can save anything worth remembering… from ideas, images, links, notes, quotes, even TikToks 🙃, and it automagically organizes it all for you.
Comes at a price… but could well be worth it!

ONE SPARK OF INSPIRATION
What do you notice in the image?
The neon shoes right!
Natalie Lam, Chief Creative Officer at Publicis Groups says that Nike always manages to have one sharp point in its advertising… in other words they aim for one thing that’s compelling… like the neon running shoes at the Olympics.
The question is; what’s the one compelling thing about your current project?
Is it you? Your Church? Your Team?
Or is it your real message?
Jesus.
Is He sharp enough?
Like the Rapid5? Hit the ❤️ … it’ll only take a second. Would mean the world!!
Grace and peace,
Rich and Cass
