God's Invitation to Creative Play

by Jesse White

Overview

Jesse White shares God's invitation to strengthen our relationship with the Divine through creative play. Being creative—such as when we practice an art form, or garden, or envision new ideas—can awaken flow, healing, and spiritual discernment that points us toward faithful action. By reconnecting with the ease of creativity we knew as children, we also reconnect with the ease of knowing God. We are all creative, and we were created to create. Sometimes anxieties or fears surface during our creative process. This pamphlet offers insight into feeling and moving through those uncomfortable emotions toward a spiritually nourishing and creative collaboration with the Divine.
