Over the next few weeks, we are asking 2015 Edgies to share their experiences and what they brought home with them from their Edge experience. If you’ve experienced Edge, you will be able to relate to many of the shared experiences and if you are new to Edge or are thinking about attending in the […]

Jason Leith – Part 4
Restoration: From Our Team To Our City The arts were expressed in ministry in many ways through our mission trip. But before sharing more of these projects, I want to take time to share our team was prepared for them. God did the work of preparing our hearts and minds, shaping and restoring us to […]
Jason Leith – Part 3
Everyday Icons Our main project in both Spain and Berlin was called Everyday Icons. It was one of the main ways worked with Saddleback Berlin’s creative community in how they could use the arts to make the church more beautiful and reach out to the city. Everyday Icons showed people that their lives have value […]
Jason Leith – Part 2
Relational Jesus & The Arts While working with Edge Project in Spain, we were able to learn more about what it is we are doing as artists on a mission. Digging into the gospel of Mark we looked at how Jesus did ministry and reached the city. One of the most important things we noticed […]
Jason Leith ~ How Art Transformed Community Part 1
Jason, a 2015 Edgie Introduction: An Historic Marriage This last summer, eleven passionate artists from Saddleback Church took a step of faith into a trip that broke the boundary between art and missions. It was a pioneering of the partnership between Saddleback’s movement of creative ministry happening through Ex Creatis Arts and Rick Warren’s Global […]
Reflections in Song
Edgie Reflection: Katherine Abel Egaging in the community through creativity, music, and arts. Therefore, a lot of what I learned over the summer was through music. Through the music writing process, I was grown and stretched in unexpected areas. These lessons then transcended into everyday life, back home in California. Bring who you are In the songwriting […]
Edgie Reflections – Summer 2015 – #1
For the next couple months, we’re going to let those Edgies who experienced this summer’s project, speak with their own voices about their time, the people they met, their experiences-good and bad-and what their adventure meant to them. This will provide a great opportunity for those interested in Edge to hear about the various experiences […]
2 Months in Spain – Edge is Art Night – Video #3
When Edge was first forged in hearts nearly 10 years ago, I think what have become Art Night is something beyond our scope, our dreams and even our hope. Art Night has become a way to meet people, to share our personal stories, to hear the stories of others and to share the love of God […]
2 Months in Spain – Edge is Relationship – Video #2
We don’t define Edge in concrete terms – we can’t. You define Edge. The purpose of Edge is to experience God in community, through creative means and in appreciation of culture. That looks different for everyone, but for 2015 Edgie Brandon, Edge could be explained and experienced and shared through the gift of film. For Brandon, Edge […]
2 Months in Spain – This is Edge – Video #1
We all seek answers. Most often each one of us will provide a different answer to the same question. Why? That is a beautiful answer. The why is that we are all unique and are moved and influenced and changed by different experiences; what speaks to me may mean nothing to you, but it doesn’t […]
Saying “Yes”
Reflection by 2015 Edgie Rachel Schultz I walked into Edge Project not knowing a single other person, not fully understanding the program’s purpose or what was in store for me during the month to follow; however, I did know what I was in need of. I needed healing; I needed to lay a season of […]
More Than Keys to a Home
It is hard to believe that it was only a little over two weeks ago that Edge Project 2015 came to an end; the group said their goodbyes to each other, and to this beautiful, precious town. Goodbye’s were not easy; we have come to deeply love this place and the people who live here. […]
Dear EDGE…
Submitted by 2015 Edgie, Tober Corrigan Dear EDGE, How are you? Another hot, sunny day I imagine. The weather’s quite fine here. No sea breeze of course. I must admit . . . I think of you often, and not just in moments like this, when I’m consciously reflecting on our time together. Somedays, when […]
A Time to Dance
While we are here to serve, and learn, and teach, and grow, we also have opportunities to play. We have a good, good Father who loves for His children to delight in His blessings. One of these blessings consisted of a night during Edge where we had the chance to learn swing dancing from the […]
A Farewell: Reflection on Week 4 of EDGE Project 2015
Goodbye. This word has left our lips more than any other during our final days here. We’ve had to say our goodbyes to one another, to the friends and acquaintances we’ve made over the past month, to the lookouts where we watched the sun rise over the mountains or the Mediterranean proudly show off its […]
