MADE TO CREATE
If you're determined to lean in and make change in your life, you are going to love this course. It's time to uncover and use your creative gifts.
We can't wait for you to start!
We had such fun designing and developing this course. We've never seen anything like it, and you may not have either. There are weekly videos and self study lessons laid out in a creative workbook that is packed with scripture, inspiration and practical creative exercises.

“I can’t tell you how much my eyes have been open through this course. Not only my physical eyes but spiritual ones also. I cried at times, I laughed as well, the word pierced my heart. I am so excited."
Elbi van Vuuren, Attorney, Johannesburg
"Nina and Celia’s course is an excellent guide to a Biblical approach to creativity. It reconnected me with my own creativity in ways I had forgotten existed and some I had never before explored. Their enthusiasm for their subject matter is infectious and they are living testimonies to their craft."
Clare Thorogood, Clinical Psychologist, Johannesburg
"Thank you for introducing me to a whole new dimension in my thought process with respect to the Word, God and creativity. It’s like changing the lens in ones glasses from dull and foggy to 20/20 vision with His word and with your vision on creativity. Thank you so much."

What people are saying
Shirley Momberg, Writer and Strategist (PhD, Divinity Institute International), Cape Town
"I have found that over the six weeks, I have been enthralled. I have enjoyed every moment. Every part of me has been stimulated and excited. It’s like someone switched the light on. I want to applaud you for everything that you have done. The word is sound. It is based on the foundation of scripture. On that foundation you have built so many amazing streams that anyone who does this course is going to be so blessed and encouraged. I can’t wait to go back and work through it again... I’ve had so much fun."
Peter Ressell, Operations Director, UK
"I thought that this course was amazing. I went into it a bit sceptical because I’m a guy and I feel that I’m not that creative... I don’t know how long you took to put this together, but it’s incredible and it’s really rich. I think that it is brilliant. It’s awakened a lot of new thoughts and desires in me to think about creativity and to challenge myself in how I can be creative and stimulate that in the family, not be too two-dimensional, so thank you very much."
Jean Pierre Kloppers, Managing Director, UK
"Creativity is something that I love and have always relished in, but I had forgot that it is actually a core part of who God is. He is the Creator first and so (this study) has given me license to be more creative and to lean into that part of myself more."
What to expect?
There are six weeks of study for this series. Each week contains five short videos and five self-study lessons.
If you are doing the study alone
You can watch the videos for the week all at once, or over five days, along with your self-study work.
Each self-study lesson comprises:
- An anchor passage and additional scripture references
- Illustrative stories
- Points for reflection
- A creative exercise
- Prayer
The videos and lessons are house on our secure portal to which you’ll get access once you purchase the course. You’ll also find optional resources such as downloadable worksheets, links to podcasts, books, articles, and sermons, should you wish to dive deeper into any topics.
If you are doing the study with a group
Though there is no formula for a Bible Study group session, one way to run the session would be:
- Start off in prayer (5 minutes)
- Discuss the previous week’s self-study, there are question prompts for you (5-10 minutes)
- Watch the video lessons for the week (30 minutes)
- Discuss the video lesson, discussion guidelines are provided (10-30 minutes)
- Pray (10-30 minutes)
After your group session, there are five days of self-study for you to dive into.
Is this for me?
When it comes to creativity, you are:
Out of practice
You once had wistful dreams of creating something special when you grew up.
But you’re in the real world now. No time to mess around.
You had to leave your creativity behind long ago. You feel its absence.
Out of time
You yearn to do creative things, but life is just too busy.
You’re constantly humming around the creative activities of your kids but feel too stretched to allow yourself the same luxury of time.
One day you’ll get to it. Someday…
Depleted
Your creativity engine is in overdrive.
You are constantly drawing on its energy.
Now your creative tank is feels empty.
You want to learn to keep the fuel topped up.
Not the creative type (we'll show you otherwise!)
You don’t believe you have a creative bone in your body.
You’ve always viewed ‘creative types’ from a distance.
Intrigued yet confounded by their strange ways.
It’s time to change things up.
If any of these resonate with you, keep reading…
"The stated purpose of the study is to enable Christians to “Grow in creative confidence, to love their Creator more, and to use their creativity to glorify Him.” The study uses a number of references to scripture, creativity techniques and exercises, and real-life examples and insights to do just this. Anyone going through this course would be challenged and inspired in each of these areas – whether they are already creative or are seriously resistant to the idea that they are creative. You clearly have years of experience with the material and subject matter, and I loved the chatty style that you use to journey with participants. You communicate a holistic view of creativity, with questions and creative exercises that are relevant and provocative. The videos support the discussion and the leader. "
