The people have spoken!
And wow, the results are fascinating.
Hey Crashers,
Last week, we asked for your thoughts… and WOW!!
You responded—creatives from all over the world!
You gave us a glimpse into who you are, what you’re looking for, and how we can inspire your creative journey.
It was humbling and exciting!
So today, we wanted to share some of it… and let you in on where our heads are at as a result.
If you’re just a Rapid 5 subscriber, we invite you to become a member of the community—it’s just the beginning.
What follows is an echo of your voices, all woven together. This isn’t just data; it’s a picture of who we are as a creative collective. It’s incredible!
Grace and peace,
Rich & Cass
P.S. - We’ll be back with a new normal, complete with Rapid 5, next week. Stay tuned!

WHO ARE THE CRASHERS?
You are professional creatives!
Songwriters, artists, designers, filmmakers.
You are clever. You work for yourselves, for studios and galleries. You are volunteers and church staff, and you come from everywhere…
All around the world!
Some of you live in Brazil and speak Spanish. Others call the USA home (I can already hear the chanting!!). There are UK creatives and great Danes. There is a strong representation from Africa and South Africa. Closer to home, there are Aussies, Kiwis, and our friends in Indonesia… plus all those from everywhere in between!
You work at big churches… and some for smaller churches. Some of you have too many creatives on your team and don’t know what to do with them all… but most have not enough… and don’t know what to do!
(We feel you. We know what it is to have plenty and to be lacking.)
AND SO… WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Mostly to be inspired.
You want to be in a community and find others just like you.
You want to think well about your craft, your creativity, and your faith.
You want to know how to be a great creative leader and how to inspire others but also stay inspired yourself.
You wrestle with being creative across all mediums for the sake of the Gospel.
And some of you REALLY love tech!
BUT… HOW DO YOU WANT IT DELIVERED?
You like things short and sharp.
You don’t have time to wade through extra-long articles.
And you want us to talk to you… Literally.
You want to hear our voices (and, dare I say it—our Aussie accents).
And almost 90% of you LOVE the Rapid 5—it's fuelling your imagination!
AND YOU’D BE HAPPY WITH…
A good dose of weekly inspiration, encouragement, and wisdom. And more community with us and other like-minded people here—even if it’s online.
Because you live at the intersection of faith and creativity in an online world.
So you want an integrated, holistic faith as a Christian creative—one that crosses the sacred-secular divide. And you want us to meet you there and help remind you that you’re not alone.
And here’s what WE want YOU to know…
We’re so grateful to those who took the time to give such incredible feedback.
We’re listening. Thinking. And re-creating.
Stay tuned!
We’re not planning to change everything; we're just tweaking things to make them better. We’re working on how we can add more audio, do more video meet-ups, and answer your questions with chat and AMA sessions.
So, let’s see where this takes us as we forge forward together.
A CRASH of thick-skinned,
Forward facing,
Future focused,
Christian Creatives!
Over to you…
How does this make you feel? Let us know in the comments… because we all want community but it’s built on participation not just observation. 😉
Thanks guys, everything you share resonates and has helped shaped so much of my thinking. Appreciate you!
Ooh super excited for what is to come!!! This was already so inspiring… We can’t wait!
