The Wonder Of It All

Author, illustrator, and creator Brad Montague invites Christian creatives, church leaders, and storytellers to rediscover childlike wonder, holy curiosity, and the beauty of God at work. Through heartfelt stories from classrooms, creative projects, and everyday encounters, he demonstrates how presence and attentive listening can awaken hope, deepen relationships, and help us see the world with fresh eyes.

Brad also explores the power of authentic storytelling to transform pain into connection and creativity into compassionate action. Using his practical “wonder questions,” he encourages believers to create meaningful work that reflects God’s beauty, serves others, strengthens community, and multiplies joy.

Practical Takeaways:

  • Recover your sense of wonder. Slow down, pay attention, and recognize the beauty and work of God already surrounding you.

  • Practice holy curiosity. Thoughtful questions help you care for people, understand their needs, and discover new creative possibilities.

  • Choose presence over perfection. Being fully present can make a greater impact than having the perfect words, plan, or production.

  • Tell honest stories. Stories of vulnerability, pain, and healing can create connection and point people toward hope.

  • Create for the good of others. Use your creativity and influence to meet real needs, inspire action, and multiply joy.
