S1E2 - How Wonder Fuels Our Creativity


Listen Later

Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote, "The world is charged with the grandeur of God." A sense of wonder is the posture of a healthy human—and especially a healthy Christian. Not only that, but wonder is essential for creativity, because God has given us the capacity for inspiration. From inspiration flows creativity. From creativity flows joy, connection, and increased awe in God.

In episode two of the Cultivate podcast, Brittany and Meredith discuss all things wonder, including...

  • What is wonder?

  • Where do we personally experience wonder and awe?

  • How does wonder fuel our creativity?

  • What do we lose when we don't cultivate wonder/a robust Christian imagination?

  • Recommended resources on wonder:
