Downside Up

In this episode, I talk about not only receiving salvation through the death and resurrection, but moving into transfiguration. What does it take to fully surrender our lives fully to Jesus and allow Him to transform us by giving us a sanctified imagination to grow in our knowledge of Christ and to behold Him in all His glory so that we might become that glory. 

In this episode, Jackson discusses the importance of our revelation of sonship and daughterhood in the kingdom and how that effects the way we do life, church, and ministry. Often times we treat church like something to market yet we are called to be houses of prayer. We will take a look at Mark 11:15-17 where Jesus cleanses the temple and makes right the things man was doing wrong. 

Dustin lives in Denver, CO and aims to get us to think differently as sons and daughters in the Kingdom. Not only does this teaching apply to art and receiving input from everything around us, but also to our ability to receive from God. Sometimes we have to change the way we think to receive deeper revelations in our day-to-day. Whether you think you are creative or not, this lifestyle is for you and needs you to participate. We discuss critiquing, the difference between a prophet and a teacher, and how a lifestyle of thinking like an artist enhances your approach to the Word of God. 

Maria Finch, a British visual artist in the making, currently studying at Oxford Brooke’s University opens up her heart about the creative processes and how to navigate with God through each artistic project on her journey. She speaks about perfectionism being the thorn of the artist side and shares both in the joys and pains of creating with the heavenly Creator. Peace and passion and letting your inner child run free and fly your imagination loud and proud like a kite. Light-hearted with truth, this podcast is a simple testimony of a continuous journey of her relationship and revelations with God.

Jesus said that we can build our foundation on either sand or rock. It is crucial that we build our lives upon the Rock of Salvation, Jesus Christ, so that we create in power and authority. The power that we receive from building on a solid foundation will help our creative gifts flow more consistently, more powerfully, and with greater impact. When we create through intimacy with God, we can release intimacy with God to others! 

If we were all made in the image of a creative God, then inside each and every one of us is a unique creative facet of God’s nature. It’s with these very gifts that God uses us to connect with His heart and transform the world around us. Join us as we inspire others to ignite their creative passion and activate their call to create!
