Jody Thomae has been involved in worship arts ministry since 1997, serving as a worship arts ministry pastor, worship leader, creative arts director, and worship dance team director. She has coordinated artistic involvement in church services and regional worship events through dance, drama, poetry and fine arts, and performs, teaches, and leads workshops in the area of creativity, spirituality, embodied prayer, and healing movement. She leads worship at local seminars, retreats, and women's events and is a guest lecturer on creativity, embodiment, and spirituality for Healing Care Ministries and HCM International. Her passion is for the revelation of God to be made more real through: 1) the prophetic use of the arts in church, and 2) creativity in formational and healing ministry. It is her desire to portray the message of Christ's desperate and unfailing love for His people to help sustain the hearts of the broken and weary. She is particularly interested in the reclamation of the body in the healing of trauma and works in the area of embodiment with survivors of abuse, addiction, and trauma. Also part of the Bible Studies to Nurture the Creative Spirit Within series, her first book, "God's Creative Gift-Unleashing the Artist in You" is another interactive, in-depth devotional Bible study similar to "The Creator's Healing Power." Print and digital copies are available through Amazon or Wipf & Stock. Signed copies of Jody's books are available for purchase through her Square store at: squareup.com/market/jody-thomae. They are also available in bulk amounts for your creative arts ministry team or group study through Square. Jody also has a devotional CD titled "Song of the Beloved"-a collection of simple acoustic music recordings with readings from scripture and "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas � Kempis. It is designed to lead you through a time of confession into quiet meditation and rest in the arms of your Savior and King, Jesus Christ. It is available through her Square store, as well as iTunes, Spotify and other music outlets. For additional creative resources and inspiration, visit Jody at: ... or on Facebook. See less
