In this episode Sam Pettersen busts the Creative Myth that creatives have to be original. Today we talk about how the most creative people are good at stealing great ideas and making them work in the best way possible. Sam then walks you through his crazy sunday and all the ideas that came together, the purpose behind each idea, and how he pulled off the programming.

A BAD THIEF

  1. Steals copyrighted material
    1. This could get you sued
  2. Steals other church’s creative resources without permission

A GOOD THIEF

  1. Steals an idea(with permission) and makes it work in the context
    1. When we don’t make it work in our context; the product looks faulty even though the fault lies with us
  2. Values the purpose over the product
    1. We do the extra work in planning and budgeting resources/volunteers

IDEAS I STOLE

  1. KIDSTUF from ORANGE // I turned it into Verified. A shared experience for parents and students about phones and social media
  2. Impossible Shot // Turned into DIY Biathlon using posterboard “skis” and bow and arrow
    1. Here’s the Bow and Arrow Set We Used
    2. Darren Delin’s Impossible Shot Target
  3. ONE NIGHT from Justin Knowles
    1. One Night Opener by Justin Knowles
    2. Glow Sticks We Used
    3. Falling Plates Video by Cru

    Our youth ministry was hoping to use something similar to that opener video but it says the video is archived and unavailable. is there a way to get access to this?
