Summary

In this week’s episode, Pastor Erwin McManus points out the fascinating way that God inhabits our lives — whether we’ve already given our lives to Him or not.

In a conversation with a self-identified atheist, Erwin was asked how to hear the voice of God. He answered that it’s the voice in your head that simply won’t leave you alone. And even more, when we’ve given our lives to God, that voice becomes the continual invitation to an expansive life that is full of imagination.

We’re compelled to ask ourselves if we are engaging the creative power that God has given us to make the invisible visible. Are we engaging the ideas God keeps reminding us to pursue, or are we living small lives that are filled with fear?

If you’ve been waiting for a green light when it comes to engaging your God-given dreams and imagination, this is it.

This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

1:01.6	I'm a huge otter fan, killer whales, they're extraordinary, but humans are this extraordinary
1:11.6	species that have this unique capacity to materialize the imagination.
1:17.5	In a very peculiar and beautiful way, human beings are almost a universe of ideas that
