“A delay isn’t a denial.”
“Pastor the people that God has put right in front of you and let God shepherd your dreams.”
So good! This episode is full of heart and wisdom thanks to Bethel Music artist and songwriter, Josh Baldwin. He’s passionate about creating space for people to be seen and heard by God and today’s story is a peek into his past, which shows the origin of that passion for people.
This great story also reinforces the need for the local church by uncovering just one aspect of its important role; to foster our creative artists. These communities of faith all over the world are the keepers of our creatives. Each church where we allow the Holy Spirit to move will grow up incredible artists, songwriters, painters, creative business people, writers, and more. It’s so important to recognize that your local congregation could be discipling the next generation of Josh Baldwin’s.
