Let's DO THIS.

Anyone can make music, anyone can draw, anyone can make a t-shirt. And lots of people do.

But what sets the great bands apart?  

What sets the great artists apart?

What makes you like a particular style?

It's more than production, more than sound, more than everyone having keyboards.  It's more than cool font, more than culture, more than the next trend. Trends change.  Something about great art, whether music or painting, just draws an audience in... Inspires you to create. What does hillsong united or mutemath do better than anyone? Why is spoken word so powerful? Why is urban outfitters so catchy? What separates them? What is the draw? 

To be great you have to be different. If you're not different, you're just a replication.  Replications can be really good, but only the original is great. 

Figure out what draws people.. And discover what you can do differently than everyone else. Then go at it full speed and use it to draw people. When you draw them,  catch their attention and point them to Jesus. 

Then put it on a Tshirt :-)

Love people past what they can do for you. Love people without expectation. Love without limits.

That causes change. That sparks passion. Passion leads to revolution. Revolutions impact the world. 

Let's do this.
