@Arelby Yes! What a powerful statement indeed! ^SF Team

[@gentnextdoor]

“ Creativity really is another term for God showing up.”🎤 drop!

[@kaiserteach8314]

Facts 🎉

[@ravenfairley9102]

I think jerry and pastor furtick conversations are life-changing and it's important for people to realize fashion, music, sports, etc can co-exist with faith.

I stopped painting as a teen…I yearned to paint again but was fearful….it came to me like breathing back then especially in my very tough times…fear of not being able now had stopped me picking up my brushes . I’m 60 and God told me to build a pottery studio, I had never used a wheel or kiln. I took some hand building lessons for a year. Then my husband built my studio (after praying for him for 40yrs he gave his life to Jesus ) I’m now creating I’m throwing on the wheel and using my kiln. I want what I do to speak of Fathers heart for us, His love His call..I love the idea that creativity is God sharing His heart, Love and Will. I’ve no idea where or how I’m journeying but He has given me this passion …I trust He Will fan it into flame . I just love Gods passion to bless us reach us and just sit gently with us. Works in progress 🎉I’m painting slowly and loving pottery.

[@RaeOfSun712]

I honestly had no clue who Jerry Lorenzo was until watching this interview. What an amazing introducing, this is so inspirational. Just pure beauty and love.

[@Skystreamgames]

I absolutely love him! I’m very into fashion! With me starting my bracelet brand, all designers are a big inspiration to me!

[@DaGoodVybe]

Rachelle blanc I knew who he was but this just introduced me to another side of him🤲

[@DRKENTHAMILTON]

what comes across as most remarkable is the his commeplete humblesness , he seems so at peace

[@sekinahclifton2581]

I have to be creative parenting my son. Creativity is in everything we do.

[@Apol-los]

"Creativity is a term for God showing up."

[@tanyaradzwakatsumbe276]

wow.. "am l dressing to reflect the One who made me?"

[@joehallam1231]

Oh no! Quickly, run and by this fools overpriced clothing! You will look so gangster... SMH.

[@christnastubbs1603]

"He's given me glimpses that I can't unsee". So good. I'm so grateful for conversations like this.

[@DavidHernandezLovesYou]

AMEN!

[@siyabongamtetwa7888]

"...Everything that we do requires creativity... You gotta be creative in paying your bills to taking care of your kids..." This was literally a word for me. I always thought creativity only lasts in my studio and bills requires another form of profession.

[@drnicolemeastmand.o.2974]

13:25 This made me tear up! Jerry's sharing of his Mom's creativity in their home amidst financial limitations made me want to hug his Mama! I empathize with her, and it makes my heart swell how he talks about her.

[@OliveHoney]

"A U2 world tour." "The gangster-ness of how tough this walk is." 😂😂😂 I love how the conversation is deep but lighthearted while still being faithful

[@bigshotmovieverse2621]

In that uncomfortable space is where you find what you're made of.💓👍💪

[@millicentkhagali4530]

This has been one of my favorite conversations about faith in the market place and excellence while serving God.

[@Nigerian373]

This was a WHOLE sermon!!!! 😍🔥🔥🔥 So inspiring for me

[@jacksontengeya]

Yes... You both started something that was scary.. Here you are.. Pastor you are a blessing. Keep doing the good work.

[@Kimrules502]

Spiritually, creatively, Careerly, emotionally, painfully so stuck. I really want to want His glory. Please pray He makes me unselfish. Please pray He surrounds me with people I can help serve. Please pray I know what to do. I can’t see the plan. I know His voice and silence looms around me. People are here but I can’t feel love. I need to again surrender to His will. I do surrender but I can’t seem to know ANY WHERE TO GO! I need His help and guidance. I’m a light fading in a bed through the weeks instead of helping in the capacity I know He calls me to, I need mentors. Shepherds that can call me to tasks every day. Please help. Please pray with me. The idle time hurts. I want to want Him again not a plan. I don’t know.

[@stevenfurtick]

Praying for you! ^SF Team

[@Kimrules502]

Official Steven Furtick thank you so much ❤️

[@candacemarquette]

Kim! Wow! You are in the perfect place. Humility is like an empty vase excited to be filled with beautiful flowers! How precious you are. Read Proverbs and make it your bestie! I'll be continue to be praying for you lovely!

[@iam.mariejen]

GOD! I cried a few times while listening to this interview! I’ve heard of Jerry Lorenzo, in a social club misfits song but I never looked him up. But seeing the title of this video I’m glad I tuned in! ❤️ thank P. Steven & Holly & all of elevation for selflessly sharing this video and allowing us to be blessed by the work at your church!

[@melaniefenwick8522]

This is the first time I have had the privilege of discovering Jerry Lorenzo. What amazed me most about him is the fact of hearing him so humbly speak about how Our God is using him to change the intent on how we respresent Our God through clothing and how we view how Our God sees his creativity being used through us in so many different ways. This allowed me to see that what we believe our weaknesses to be, such as Jerrys inability to speak comfortably before people, Our God will strengthen those weaknesses to further his message. It might not always be verbally, it could just be in the gift of the creativity that Our God has placed within you, that will speak volumes about Our God. While Our God is equipping you behind the scenes and in the places you are most comfortable with, he will not only allow that to be a vision of his will in your life, but Our God will then also equipped you with the verbal ability, that you see as a weakness, to speak and to share how he is using you to further his will. Thank you for the blessing that allowed me to see all these things through this one conversation.

[@RebeccaTabbert]

you have no idea how powerful this was for me in this exact moment. God absolutely put this message in front of me at the exact moment He intended - I am very thankful for both of you. I took a ton of notes and I'm confident God will make sure I hear and see what He needs me to through my quiet time with Him. thank you

[@MissKHYT1]

Yes! God using the AI to answer questions I just tugged the sleeves of His robe about 😊❤️

[@cammilliaparham6705]

I love this video for so many reasons. As Christians we are the standard in every arena.

[@juliabaxterbrands]

What a beautiful conversation about the gift of creativity - which is just God showing up to make an impact through us. Loved this.

[@olayinkaoginni3625]

This video really inspired me to be God centered in what im doing...its so easy to think about how you will use the things you planned for in the future to glorify God but we can really glorify God now. Thanks for this

[@berealkiiid]

this is the most amazing thing on the internet right now.

[@sbutler7069]

Even at 26 I had my fair share of failures...I believe God knows what he is doing...putting your faith in man will let you down every time

[@jadoncal]

Inspires me as I continue to make short films and stories.

[@jadoncal]

@Whole Lotta Choppa1 thank you :). Just produced my first feature film this year now and have acted in two others. Also wrote a new feature film that I’m putting together to make next year!

[@AshNicholeLeo]

Our Father who does ART in heaven 🤩

[@DominiqueCerita]

This conversation was right on time!! I’m in the process of illustrating my first children’s book and everyone thinks I wrote it and I’m like noooo God have me this book.. and he dropped it in my spirit when I was being obedient in honoring the sabbath!!! God bless you all

[@micahsunrise2089]

[@lionelzinyama9282]

Amazing conversation between two great people.Love frm Zimbabwe.

[@davedimak]

I totally feel him when he talks about those "glimpses". Great interview though! Can't wait to share my story the same way that he did. See you soon pastor Furtik!😊

[@brookewilliams2051]

In the middle of fasting and praying for God to prepare me to be a wife. The word “Ambition” 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@thalarialekya]

Blessed beyond measure by watching it from thousand miles away(from india) "everything god has given the main purpose is to glorify him " thank you pastor Steven Furtick .

[@berealkiiid]

i'm so full. i've never felt so understood and heard. i needed this so bad.

[@joi4705]

brik liam I remember you from Twitter. Keep going brother🖖🏽🙏🏽

[@caleb.joshua50]

I can't afford fashion right now but when I can I want to buy from people who fear God like Jerry Lorenzo

[@christinegweredza9635]

Me too! I want to reach a point where 90% of the brands i wear are faith based, made by people who fear God and are black owned. My instagram is going to be tailored to specifically highlight such brands and re-present God through highlighting his childrens work.

[@ifheavenwashuman]

Christine Gweredza What's your instagram?

[@mouammarcharlot7718]

Charvany Studios coming soon

[@toniwilson4920]

What a great perspective! God is so good! We play the "bulb" to God's light shine! We reflect His shine or we are forced to absorb the darkness! Thanks for sharing and God bless!!! Thank you God for the gifts you shower us with daily! In Jesus name, I pray, Amen!!!

[@justvibinwithtaneshapeace]

Yep you have to birth out What God gives you... And the glimpses... that's the conviction. You have to give life to those things..God has gifted you with... It's a must and you have people attached to your must..I feel you sir

[@sabrinaabdullah9873]

Ps Steven when are you coming to Malaysia.

[@sss00292]

Wow, Jerry's wisdom and humility is so amazing. I pray Christ continues being his strength to expand the kingdom!

[@nwokochaeden7277]

It makes sense for it to never make sense because it never made sense. I am at peace with this part of my testimony.

[@gloriasilva09]

This was amazing! A lot of golden nuggets. I'm inspired & renewed faith. Praise God!

[@Notjustamanicure]

[@jessicaterry2594]

In everything I do.. be concerned about the motive and intention of my heart. And I was created to be a reflection of Gods light. Biggest lessons. Love you Pastor 🧡

[@frankyb4249]

BEEN waiting for this upload! This was soooo good! Sooo grateful for the ministry of EC🧡

[@gabriellamom113]

It helps us see the heart of God. It helps us to see God more rather than people. How it is important for us to examine ourselves, our motive and intention? This is really an awesome interview and inspiring to those that are willing to be open and available to God. Everything that we do is to glorify God. Thank you! Thank you! Blessings!

[@erae920]

Wow . Soo Good!! What a beautiful Spirit.

[@tinawiggers408]

Rich and very informational, many points inspire me to bring the values you talked about into my life, excellent conversation and participation of each other’s experiences in being led by our precious Holy Spirit❣️🙏🏻🙌 Pray for longevity for both of you❣️

[@estawoods3592]

Good interview . I don't think any of us are qualified on our own ,we must depend on Him,and in the gift HE GAVE TO US. I love his humility.

[@kathleenbennett5106]

A great interview. I can really relate to Jerry Lorenzo.this interview reminded me that God is preparing me for success.

[@veronicamaree4625]

I only listen to this wonderful word of God , just know. Blessings for you Jerry.

[@Ndi1st]

This was EVERYTHING!! Thank you so much for the condor and inspiration. "In this position I'm constantly reminding myself of WHO has me there" 🙏🏾 "He's given me glimpses that I just can't unsee" 🔥

[@thealternativechannel2020]

It's the glimpses of God that move me the most. They come with such a heavy conviction.

[@condorianeverdormentailast9703]

I see now, thank you, What is given is returned, Thank you

[@lesegomotsoahae5405]

Steven Furtick is a great interviewer 👏

[@jasminerussell3803]

Such a gift of a message. So timely ✨️ 🙏🏾 Calling in nee levels of creativity in this season 🍂

May God continue to bless and keep him and his family!

[@runyararopalmer9354]

Wow , God bless you so much Pastor Steven and Sir Jerry Lorenzo , I have been edified and transformed by this word. this was timely for me ( 2021/05/05) my life will never be the same. 🕊🕊🕊🔥🔥🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽 # changed by the word 🧬🧬🧬

[@LadyLikeBabyKay]

THIS is so beautiful

[@timothybrooks6948]

Hi I have been listening for the past couple of months and really enjoyed today show! You guys should be a team! You really do well together!

[@WifiLex]

I needed this. Huge inspiration. Would have never thought I’d see an inspiration of mine link with the pastor I listen to. Insane. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@davidcastro1500]

What an inspiring interview! I’ve always felt like a creative, Jerry just inspired me to be!

[@she-shaa]

This whole video was an answered prayer. Thank you both! 💜🙏🏾

[@ladyjas77]

What a beauty this man of God is!! God does not make mistakes. We mistaken ourselves 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@freespiritedishername]

This one was for me! ❤️ inspired beyond words. Thank god for this man ✨

[@veirdrejackson5727]

Such an authentic conversation that reflects humility and obedience- truly appreciate and value how Elevation and Pastor Furtick consistently put real life talk in Godly context. Just wish more care was used before downplaying and actually using the words “bad acting” on such a vast platform to describe the powerful work and quality of another Christian ministry which in the same way Fear of God marketing brand is pushed forward - words have power to sabotage the reach of another ministry. Again - so much valuable content just sharing how that struck me. My prayer that each creative ministry to glorify God and impact lives.

[@Billie_Marie_]

His spirit is so sweet and gentle! I loved that! Thank you, Pastor, for doing this interview!

[@deannelehnertz-hansen2100]

Thank you for the inspiration towards life and to keep moving forward with my belief in God 💞💫

[@MiquelDancy]

[@marygamble8767]

I needed this. Thank you and God Bless.

[@morenabaeza7784]

WOW!!! I wasn’t expecting anything but to listen to this message. And God definitely spoke to me through Jerry. To do all things through him, and thank him for ALL that we do. THANK YOU!!

[@stevenfurtick]

Thanks for sharing, Denise! God bless! ^SF Team

[@TaiEast7]

This is so inspiring to me as a Jewelry Maker/creative heart! ❤🔥🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@MissHarmoniiesPoet]

This is everything 😍 God is so good!!!!

[@cecejordan1813]

Lol there’s a lot of sarcasm from “furtick”. Jerry a lot of things he said was good and humble. I think many who are already “famous” by many fans LOL, want to take Glory away from God and wants us to be the special beings. Jerry wasn’t confused, HES the VESSEL- that’s a good place to be. When we start getting titles that’s when pride kicks in. You can know your worth and still be humble and KNOW who you are. I love when God gets the Glory!! We get EVERYTHING from God. Just period!! Amen bro.

[@SET24K]

AMAZING TALK! THANKS GOD FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

[@thealternativechannel2020]

"If the intention is pure, put your faith in the intention & the why. The why of what you are doing will always bring you peace beyond the result of what you are doing. Be in touch with the intention of why you are doing it." - Jerry Lorenzo

[@nicoleharvey42]

This was so good he dropped so many nuggets.

[@perfectlycoiffed05]

I wasn’t familiar with Jerry before this message (although my 11yr old son was) but what a beautiful spirit. Many powerful nuggets dropped. Great interview! Thank you Pastor!

[@joliemwah8694]

Going into a thrift(or was it vintage) store in knowing what you want and not finding it verses, going into the store and it’s like whatever.......that’s what I picked up,,,,A.W.E.S.O.M.E mind blown! Creative genius is an understatement
