The Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast brings you interviews from leaders across the theological spectrum of the global Church. Our goal is to bring you thought-provoking interviews that encourage you, challenge you, and help you build, run, and keep great teams.
In today's Vandercast, Holly Tate, vice president of marketing at Vanderbloemen Search Group, talks with Jenny Randle, Emmy®-winning editor and author of Courageous Creative. Holly and Jenny discuss the significance of effectively living out your God-given creativity on a daily basis.

Holly talks with Jenny about:
“To every wounded creative or procrastinating dreamer, rediscover the freedom to create again; the world needs you to shine.”
“I think that when we can create from a healthy identity, that’s when we influence culture.”
“In church culture, God can use our creativity in different ways for people to connect to the Gospel...how are we communicating? Is it just one way or are we allowing God to influence our creative efforts in the way we communicate the Gospel?”
“I think the bigger challenge is, ok I can teach people all day long about creativity, but how do you actually get them to enter in and activate their creativity that God has given them?”
"When you can find yourself being comfortably uncomfortable, that's where freedom comes.”
“When we can be self-aware through prayer, that will really help us to see what are the things that are killing our creativity and then God can just point us back to Him because that’s really the solution anyways, right?”
“We’re made for so much more then just maybe what we’re just doing right now because there’s so much more out there for us and God can use us in a whole bunch of different ways.”
