Longtime pastor Ed Young Jr. has written numerous books about the challenges facing the world. In The Creative Leader: Unleashing the Power of Your Creative Potential, he looks at the importance of implementing creativity in the local church. Young’s thesis in the book breaks down into four simple statements: “God invented creativity. Jesus modeled it. The Holy Spirit empowers it. And people desperately need it.”
At Fellowship Church, Young has made creativity a keystone of the worship experience. People frequently ask him what he’s done to stay creative over 20 years in a growing church, and The Creative Leader bundles together many of his answers. The book offers advice on message development and the creation of illustrations. It teaches ways to keep an audience engaged and develop a staff of creative people. It breaks down obstacles that get in the way of innovation and offers tips on avoiding burnout. In addition, it delves into the lessons Young had to learn outside of seminary school. To illustrate the techniques in the book, Young ends each section with a case study and a question-and-answer session with a creative leader.
