God is my Creative Director GIMCD

- Religion & Spirituality
God is my Creative Director is a show that invites creatives and entrepreneurs from different spaces to have faith-inspired conversations about God's role in their journeys.
In the beginning, God created and that's exactly what this show is inspired by. God is the Ultimate Creator and we believe that all of our ideas should start and end with Him. In order for us to live a life and create in a way that “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined” - 1 Corinthians 2:9, we must surrender our ways to Him, so His creativity and purpose can manifest through us.
