BIBLICAL REFERENCE CORRECTION: We're humans around here so sometimes we get it wrong, instead of Ephesians 1:17 it's actually 2 Corinthians 4:7 but ALSO, if we wanna go a little deeper, we can also cross-reference Ephesians 1:18 that says, "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people."
Creative Processing Defined: Activating your creative mind to process a certain intention.
CREATIVE PROCESSING CHALLENGE: FAITH
