This is what happens when you give thousands of stickers to thousands of kids…

 

5 people, 1 guitar. Uh-mazing.

 

Got patience? You’d need it.

(Thanks to @jcambers for pointing this one out. Get it? Boo.)

 

2 years, 288 000 jelly beans. Insane. Gloriously insane.

 

My laundry doesn’t sound like this…

Well, guess what – it’s that time of year again! Yep, just a couple days and it’s December. So, without further delay, the first Christmas themed “Rocket Fuel Monday” post of the year! And to kick off the yule, we’ve chosen a classic.

You likely saw this one last year, but in case you were renting a studio apartment under a rock, here’s NorthPoint Church’s “iBand”.

Is it an Apple commercial? Is it a band? Is it a monument to commercialism? I dunno, but it’s pretty dang creative…and I dug it.

 

My mind is an odd place to be sometimes.

I have some strange trains of thought, on occasion, I’m sure you do too, but we always feel like the only one.

I once saw this guy open for Micheal Buble. Pretty amazing experience to watch live. How cool would it be to incorporate this into a corporate worship event?

 

So glad to hook you up with a special guest for this post. If you are a church creative type, this cat is likely no stranger to you (and if he is, he shouldn’t be). Happy to have Mr. Stephen Brewster at the wheel today. He’s the Creative Arts Pastor at Crosspoint Church in TN and the wields a razor-sharp blog and twitter feed stuffed full of inspirational gems for the creatives among us. When it comes to creativity, he embodies the buzzword – Hustle.

That’s exactly what I asked him to share about. Continue Reading…
