The Renaissance encompasses a period of history known for its advancements in art, literature, science, and philosophy, as well as a renewed interest in classical learning and human potential. The most significant shift in thinking that enabled the Renaissance was the recognition that mankind’s sole purpose was not to die and go to heaven. There is so much we could do on this side. The word “Renaissance” means rebirth. The Renaissance person is not just born again in a spiritual sense. They are creative, productive, and understand how to create value.
In modern terms, being a “Renaissance person” entails embodying the qualities of creativity, productivity, and value creation in all aspects of life. You understand that the purpose of your creativity and spiritual gifts is to make a real difference in your community. The fruit of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit combine to create an intelligence within you. This creative intelligence can have an impact on culture, business, the economy, and governance. This is what Pharaoh, King of Egypt, saw in Joseph, and he gave Joseph the keys to his kingdom (Genesis 41:38-41).
It is time for you to start striving for excellence in a variety of fields. Maximize your talents and skills to make a significant difference. Whether through art, innovation, or entrepreneurship in the fields of family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government. Strive to leave a lasting legacy that will benefit the world around you. This approach necessitates a comprehensive mindset that transcends traditional boundaries and values diversity. The Renaissance person is not limited to one narrow path, but rather seeks multiple avenues for self-expression and growth. Understand that true fulfillment comes from embracing your passions and using your unique abilities to positively impact society.
