Creativity Matters
We believe creativity matters. It stretches beyond engagement. Creativity isn’t just a picture or a piece of art. It goes deeper than that. Creativity matters because it has the potential to shift perspectives and even direct your calling. It was this very thought that sparked the idea and heart behind SALT Conference. We asked ourselves, […]

Gary Molander Thoughts on Creativity
We were so honored to have Gary Molander join us for our inaugural SALT Gathering in Nashville, TN. During his time with us, he shared some amazing truth bombs on the role creativity plays in our faith, in our work and in the world. Check out one of our favorite moments of his talk this […]
Visual Worship Must Be Excellent
Believers see God in our Art. Non-Believers see Good in our Art. We need to make sure our Good is “good enough” to allow non-believers to see the God in our art. Excellence is the universal language in this day in age. We all speak in different languages, we drive on different sides of the […]
Visual Worship Must Be Unique
Lets stop franchising creativity. Lets stop stealing ideas. Lets begin creating in a way that’s contextually creative. Let’s begin to let visual worship be unique to our communities. One of the core values of SALT is the idea that visual worship is more effective when it’s not “just” a stolen idea. This means that just because Willow Creek does something, means […]

The Power of Story
SALT believes in empowering creatives to use various elements to tell great stories. These don’t have to be stories with a written narrative or a script per say, but something that invites people into something powerful. One example is letting your set design tell a story. That’s exactly what we did last year at #SALT13. Over the […]
A Picture is worth…
We’ve all heard it said… a Picture is worth a 1000 words. Well that’s actually not true, because it’s worth a lot more than that. 3M (yes the company that makes Scotch Tape) recently came out with a study that stated: we can read information from a picture nearly 60,000 times faster than that of […]
A Story Worth Sharing
Not a day goes by where I’m not reminded of the picture of the cross that was at SALT13. That night Nathan pour his heart out sharing his story with us about his journey to, from and returning back to the Cross and the “One” who changed his life. Helping me understand the importance of […]
