ASK THINK IMAGINE
What could happen if every believer embraced the work of the Holy Spirit in their life?
Would could happen if we were to ask like a child, think like a steward, and imagine like artist and truly live as God created us?
What could happen in america if every christian realized that they do have gifts, given to them by god’s spirit and those gifts can point people to jesus and his transformational power?
What if believers invited the holy spirit to inspire them towards creative works of art and learned how to steward their time in order to execute on god-ideas?
A LOT! A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS COULD HAPPEN! *SCROLL DOWN TO FIND THE THINK TOOLS
That’s the heart of my upcoming book, Ask Think Imagine. My prayer is that Christians who are feeling stuck will discover what is keeping them stuck and begin creating the work of art that the Holy Spirit is prompting them to make. I share tons of personal stories, stories from artists and culture-creators that I’ve met over the years. I take you through a Biblical concept of art and the Spirit’s empowerment using Old Testamtent and New Testament examples. I’ve put the book in three sections: WHO IS GOD | WHO IS SATAN | WHO IS MAN
When we discover who God is and how He partners with man to bring renewal, who satan is and how he stops creative work, we will begin to see who we are and how we’re designed to design, created to create, invited to “extend Eden” and be image-bearers of our Maker! Many Christians wonder, “How can my life be more meaningful?” or “How do I actaully do something with this idea?” This book answers those timeless questions!
How to become more creative
How to posture your mind to have great ideas
How to execute on those ideas
How to monetize your work of art and why “the Jesus model” often leads to income
Stories of creatives and thought-leaders, artists and pastors, interviewed live
CHAPTER SUMMARIES & WORKSHEETS
The Book
So many believers have the wrong mindset…
“I’m not one of those creative people so I can’t …”
“My pastor needs to pray for my coworker. I’ll connect them.”
“God doesn’t really want to work through my life. After all I’ve done wrong. I’ve …”
“I just can’t wait for Jesus to get me out of here! I just ignore all the craziness and I’m waiting on Jesus to return.”
“I don’t really have much to give. Other people are more qualified."
“I’m an artist and my church doesn’t really have space for me because they’ll never understand me.”
It is these limiting beliefs and I’ll just say it… LIES from Satan himself that is causing churches across America to close as the body of Christ is expecting a few people with degrees on the wall to do the work of the ministry. But is that what the Bible indicates? No!
The Bible indicates that…
The ministers equip the saints for the work of the ministry. This book will do just that. Equip you to know your role and codify how best you can begin to serve others and do your work of art. psst… even if you don’t realize yet that it is art.
The Spirit of God fills every believer who asks and inspires (breathes new life into) the creative work God ordained them to create since time began.
We are to “fill the earth” and “multiply” the goodness and glory of God. But many believers when hearing that aren’t sure where to begin. Throughout the book I’m inviting believers to “extend Eden” and cultivate the Kingdom of God wherever they are. Praying for the sick, preaching the Good News, using their Spiritual Gifts in order to serve, and inviting the genius of the Holy Spirit to inspire creative innovation.
“Good Stewards” multiply what King Jesus gave them and we will all be held accountable to that. Our work, our 9 to 5, matters to God, yes in telling someone the Gospel, but also apart from telling someone the Gospel. Simply doing your work as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:10) as a creative work of art is an act of worship and an expression of faith. His Spirit can infuse and inspire your work and bring Him great glory pointing many to the Son!
That’s why I’m excited about this book! It’s a wake-up call for the sleeping believer. It’s a call to action to begin using our Spiritual gifts and the power given to us by the Holy Spirit, regardless of our background, history, location, and economic status! This book inspires every Christian to take their faith seriously and live as an artist at work. In the book, we also identify Satan for who he is as the Imposter, Intruder, and Accuser. We name his lies and schemes so that we can spot them when we hear them. Doing so helps you discern when your thought is actually his lie - a thought that needs rejected and taken “captive” to the Lordship of Christ. If every believer read this book and applied it, I believe we’d see revival in the streets and we’d see churches over-crowded (and hell a lot less populated)

WATCH THE ASK THINK IMAGINE PODCAST
On the Ask Think Imagine podcast, I get to sit down with some of the most creative Christians I know and hear their story and I’d like to invite you to join us at the table. 5 Questions I’ll be asking every Creative:
What “work of art” are you super proud of that you made in the last few years?
How did you get your start in the _____________ field?
How have you seen God use your content/art/music/leadership to inspire lost or hurting people to look to Jesus?
Who has been a source of incredible inspiration or a voice of wisdom for you in your creative journey?
Why do you do what you do? What’s your aim and motivation for your work?
Tell us more about that “work of art” you mentioned in question 1
What was the inspiration behind that body of work?
In the book, I teach that truly innovative people don’t just dream and have ideas, they execute them as a faithful steward - they do the work of art. What was the hardest part to complete? Tell us about pushing through to finish.
Tell us about how you feel about Jordan’s “Inspiration Cycle” Do you feel those rythms and ruts and how do you stay disciplined to keep going and finish the work of art?
What in particular do you hope people will learn from or feel when they experience your work?
How can people learn more about what you do? Is there a website we can give them or a social media handle?
IMAGINE GROUPS
Have you ever wondered like I have “Where is my tribe?”
Well that’s what my hope is with IMAGINE GROUPS. It’s a place where you can meet with other Christian Creatives to imagine, brainstorm, hangout, paint together, make music, write songs, draft business plans, whatever is stiring in your heart. Select the group that makes the most sense for you but like I said in the book, sometimes your greatest inspiration for your work of art will come from new experiences with new people. So… be open! Open-minded, open-hearted and open-handed.
