There is nothing I like more than the exchange of new ideas and the willingness to cooperate towards the same goal. Learning from others (role models, peers and those I lead) keep me on the cutting edge. To me, life-long learning has a lot to do with creativity.

Some creative members may be hard for an intellectual minister to come alongside of however. Books can be easier to search through for God's deposits than some people are, but God has brought people together for such a reason as this.

All of us as little children are deeply curious. We ask questions. We imagine. The world is a wonder-filled place to explore. But somewhere during thousands of days of sitting behind desks and being graded on our performance, that part of us atrophies. And books--rather than being living portals--become dull and lifeless. (Should I even mention the seminary experience?) Wouldn't it be cool if part of the mission of the church became to wake that part of us up that was a casualty of growing up? We can do it on our own. Your post is a great tutorial on that. But more is needed. The mental "hand slap" to exploration, adventure and curiosity can take years to unlearn. But it is like shackles falling off when you do. And the God-fueled energy flow of living out that part of your true design is unimaginable until you live it. I think my favorite part of the post is the encouragement of your last three words. "Go for it!" I’m not even sure that it’s laziness.
