Expectations for Artists?

How much can we really expect in church from "those artsy types?"

Should we ask them to be on time, for example? How about asking artists to be fully present in business meetings? Should we call arts to lead spiritually? Or should we expect just a teeny, tiny bit less because they are artsy and must be allowed to fully experience the world to be able to create their art?

I've been an artist and a leader for a good while, and there's one thing I know for sure. Human beings, artists or non-artists, will rise to the level you call them to. We all enjoy a challenge, and we love being told we can hit the mark. My take on this question is to expect amazing innovation and art from artists, while calling them to build a character that sustains every area of their lives.

Call artists to the same level you call everyone else. Just make sure you don't set the bar for everyone too low! God has high hopes for us. Why not have high hopes of each other.
