Hey Crashers,

This week, we have for you 5 links that, on the surface, may seem unrelated - but for those with access to the Rhino Journals below, you’ll soon realize there is a method to our madness. Independent of whether you see the connection between them or not, we hope they’re helpful for spurring you on in all your creative endeavours this week.

Oh, and don’t forget to answer this week’s poll question below - it will be interesting to see what’s causing the most fear among us!!

Grace and Peace,

Rich & Cass

1. This short 3-minute animation is surprisingly heart-warming. It shows the power of story, but the story is about persisting even if through those around you!! (Link)
   

2. I recently read The Win Without Pitching Manifesto. It’s a book for creative agency owners but will challenge all of us around how we think about our creativity and how we share it with others. (Link)
   

3. In today’s journal article (below), we reference the book of Galatians. Check out this commentary by Ben Witherington III for an incredible deep dive into all that was going on at the time for the Galatian Church. (Link)
   

4. “Art is balm for the soul.” This is just one of the ponder-worthy statements in Rabbi Sacks’ podcast episode entitled “God’s Shadow.” It’s well worth the 10 minutes you’ll invest! (Link)
   

5. New music this week from our friend Alexander Pappas. He’s encouraging us to believe God for a “Great Awakening” - we’re praying it starts with us as creatives!! (Link)

Question of the week…

Unlocking creative impact with the barking dog principle.

- Rich Langton

"I've got that dog in me!"

"You what?" I said.

"Yeah, I've got that dog in me. It's what sets me apart."

That's how a long conversation started with my songwriter friend. And, by the time you get to the end of this week's journal article, I hope you, too, will be determined to "have that dog in you!"
