Quotes from Stephen:
Creative people are wired differently, but we were all originally designed that way.
We're all created in God's image, and he created us to be creative, period.
Creative Pastors shouldn't forget that our responsibility is to serve the leader God's put into our lives.
Most of dealing with creatives is expectation management. Give clear expectations then let them do what they do.
Creative people are driven by vision.
