Our Values
NewStory Creatives is accountable to five core values that are applied to encourage members, foster creativity, and build relationships...
Truth
- We walk in the truth and lead others to the light by our example across many industries.
- Psalm 15:2 - “The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart...”
- Psalm 119:43 - “Never take your word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws.”
Humility
- Gifts come from God. Praise Him for it.
- Hold each other and ourselves accountable. Accept responsibility for our actions and our community.
- Don’t operate from a place of pride.
- Hebrews 4:16 - “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
Courage
- Audience of one—for the Lord. The industry is our giant, but we serve a mighty God.
- Don’t be afraid to acknowledge that our gifts come from God. We must declare it to the world!
- Have the courage to share our vulnerabilities with God and others.
- Joshua 10:25 - Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. This is what the Lord will do to all the enemies you are going to fight.”
Community
- Matthew 18:20 - “ For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
- Ecclesiastes 4:12 - “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
- Resolve conflicts peacefully. Ephesians 4:26 - “In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry...”
- I Corinthians 12:27 - “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”
Imagination
- God is the source of all imagination.
- Nothing is too big for God.
- Bring emotion and desires to God. It’s okay to feel.
- Ephesians 3:20 - “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us...”
- “We are born to create, and we can’t help it...because God, the great Creator, is in us.” — Ernest Holmes
