Show Notes
We normally take a break from the podcast over the holidays but today we’re bringing you a bonus of something a little bit different. Anna Hawken speaks to Martha Shrimpton from Spring Harvest about how we capture what’s great and build on the momentum of weeks like Spring Harvest. Martha is an actor, presenter and author who has worked within creative arts for many years. She is the director of Nimbus Collective, which encourages individuals, families and churches to connect with God in creative ways. She also works as the Creative Coordinator at Spring Harvest and leads The Big Start. Listen in whether you’re attending Spring Harvest or another festival or camp this year or not, as there are ideas that will work for everyone.
With a healthy dollop of realism and a lot of laughter, Anna and Martha explore how to:
Notice what God did (and is still doing...) Keep the conversation going Bring it into everyday life
