We often think of creativity as a gift for artists or innovators. But Genesis 1 tells a bigger story—one that defines creativity as a reflection of God’s own nature.

In The Genesis of Creativity, Bil Hood explores how the Spirit who hovered over creation still hovers over your life today.

What You’ll Learn

  • Each chapter of The Genesis of Creativity explores a key movement of God’s creative rhythm—and how we can mirror it in our own lives:

  • Hover Above the Chaos – Before creating, God pauses. We begin by observing.
  • Explore the Boundaries – Creativity thrives when limits are embraced.
  • Make New Connections – Innovation is born where ideas intersect.
  • Invest Yourself – Creation requires personal, even costly, commitment.
  • Pursue Very Good – Perfection isn’t the goal—persistence toward greatness is.
  • Let It Live – The hardest part of creating is releasing your work to the world.
