Send us Fan MailFind show notes here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/291  What does creativity have to do with spiritual transformation? Amy Pierson is a champion for the spiritually transformative power of creativity. She returns to the podcast to share a dream that’s been on her heart for over a decade, her newly-published book: Makers in a Thinker's World: What Brain Science Teaches Us about the Spiritually Transforming Power of Creativity. In this episode, Amy opens up about her exploration of creativity and neuroscience in the context of faith. I would love to dig deeper into this topic; but since we only scratch the surface here, I highly recommend grabbing a copy of her book.  We explore the topic of lament and how it can become a catalyst for discovering ways to make meaningful contributions to the world. She also emphasizes that our pursuit of a God-shaped dream can help us find joy and purpose in our lives.  In this episode, you’ll learn: How neurotheology deepens our understanding of faith and relationship with Christ, Practical steps to identify your personal lament and find your unique purpose, and How to overcome creative blocks and connect with your creativity in a meaningful way.   NEXT STEPS: Connect with Merritt: Website Sign up for Dream Believers.
