Values: Melody

Melody - Creativity is the natural result of spirituality.

As humans, the Bible shares that we are created in the image of God. I think that God, the Creator, as placed that same desire to create and make within us. So, when I say "creativity", I'm not necessarily meaning art, music, writing, etc. I think some people are creative in how they spend money, or how they build relationships, or how they raise their kids. What's undeniable is that most people have a desire, a craving, to create.

As we draw close to Christ, I think this desire goes deeper, to the origins of who we are. We create, not just to satisfy our longings, but to leave an eternal mark on this world. To change lives for the better. I think "melody" is a great way to describe this desire. We have a unique voice to share with the world around us, a song in our hearts that belts out our love for Christ and how he has changed who we are. Each song is unique, but borne out of the same relationship between Christ and his church.

So, at Resonate Community, we help each other find our voice. This is one of the most satisfying experiences I have, when someone is able to find God using who they are to accomplish God-sized things.

What's even better is when these voices start singing together. Later on, I'll share a little about Harmony.
