THE LINC COLLECTIVE

If ever there was a time to be courageous, it’s now. If ever there was a time to blaze new trails and breathe heaven’s wind into our sails, it’s today. We live in an age where creativity is not just appreciated; it’s needed. And yet, the kind of creativity God is calling His Church to is not the shallow spark of trends, but the holy fire of transformation. We are not crafting for cool—we are contending for clarity. We are pioneering a creative future. And this future belongs to the bold.

At Linc Church, the stirring of God’s Spirit has ignited something in our bones: a resolve to faithfully innovate, to preach the gospel through every medium available, and to meet people in the places they live, think, work, and worship—even when those places are digital.

Jesus called us to be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8), and for many generations, that meant wheels on the road and boots on the ground. But now, the camera has become a modern-day missionary, the livestream a lifeline of hope. And with every online broadcast, every podcast shared, every digital interaction offered in truth and love, heaven moves into homes, and lives are being changed.

This is what it means to pioneer a creative future: to see what isn’t yet visible and believe God enough to build it. Our church never set out to be cool—we set out to be clear. It is clarity about calling that fuels creativity in expression. Clarity that says, “We aren’t trying to look good—we’re trying to bring God.”

In this journey, we’ve seen online church shift from crisis-response to a legitimate community—a family of faith growing across nations and time zones. We’ve learned that community transcends distance. That feedback loops and honest dialogue matter. That a person of peace watching online in Saudi Arabia is as much the Church as anyone sitting in the front row on a Sunday morning.

Yes, it’s innovation. Yes, it’s digital. Yes, it’s creative. But it’s also deeply spiritual. Sacred. Missional.

And it’s not just about online services. As we press into the future, we’re dreaming big—software that doesn’t merely schedule services but shepherds people. Technology that doesn’t just track attendance but activates discipleship. Ideas that were once lofty are now taking shape. A tech-project called “The People Project” is rising, designed not around data, but around people. Built not for convenience, but for care.

Why? Because people matter—and clarity leads us to care with innovation rather than stagnation.

At the core of all of this, we’re reminded of the lampstand in Revelation. Each church with its unique flame. Our expression—vibrant, intentional, counter-cultural—is not meant to be replicated but revealed. Each church must find her flame, her method of proclaiming the unchanging message.

We carry the story of Jesus in our hands—shouldn’t we carry it with purpose and power? With excellence that honors God and inspires people? Not excellence in production for its own sake, but excellence in intent, as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23).

From the toaster-stand tripods in Mauritius during Covid, to the rocket rooms launching livestreams each Sunday, the heartbeat has always been the same: Reaching people with the power and presence of Jesus—wherever they may be.

So what’s next?

Church plants born from watch parties. Colleges designed not just to inform but form young leaders. Tech built to serve people’s seasons. Creativity that opens spiritual windows. Cameras aimed like arrows of truth. Generational vision that outlives us all. These aren’t just dreams—they’re directions. God-ordained next steps. And yes, the path won’t always be perfect, but it will be purposed.

You may not hold a camera or write code. You may not preach sermons or cut audio edits. But if you’re part of the body, you’re part of the story. This is a call to every generation to rise, to move together from maintenance to mission, from surviving to innovating, from routine to revival.

We are pioneering a creative future. And that future is shaped by our faithfulness today.

Let’s stay anchored in Jesus, open to innovation, and in step with the Spirit. Let’s send rockets into hearts and cities. Let’s build for the Jill down the road and the Joel yet to come.

And may the light from our lampstand burn bright—for such a time as this.

Activation:

• Faith: God is not calling us to flashy faith but to fruitful faith. When we innovate with the Spirit’s wisdom, we make room for others to meet Jesus in ways that make sense to them. Faith is not static—it is living, contextual, and creative. The invitation is to bring your full self into God’s hands and let Him use your creativity for His kingdom.
  • This Week: Journal and pray about how your vocation, creative gifts, or current resources could pioneer something spiritually impactful. Take one small step: whether that’s sharing your testimony online, serving through production, or creating something that carries Jesus.
    
• Family: Legacy faith isn’t built in the spotlight—it’s shaped in quiet consistency across generations. When we innovate and create with our children or families in mind, we’re not chasing trends—we’re stewarding truth. The seeds we sow today become the strong roots of tomorrow’s revival.
  • This Week: Spend intentional time with someone younger in your family or church community. Ask them what they see for the future. Listen. Encourage them. Speak life over their creative callings—what you bless in them today will bear fruit tomorrow.
    
• Future: You were made not just to repeat, but to pioneer. God always calls His people forward—not away from the past, but into the fullness of His promises. He’s not waiting until it’s all perfect—He’s inviting you to trust Him enough to build something bold now. Whether with a GoPro on a toaster or a vision for global church planting, your courage to step speaks volumes eternally.
  • This Week: Declare this aloud each morning: “I am called to pioneer. I carry God’s purposes within me. I will build with faith, for His glory, and for generations to come.” Then, pray for one out-of-the-box kingdom idea to pursue—and take a tangible step toward it, no matter how small.
