    LAB the Podcast with Merideth Hite Estevez | Art Is How God Loves Us

    What if beauty is an invitation to encounter the love of God? Author, oboist, and host of Artists for Joy, Dr. Merideth Hite Estevez joins Zach to discuss her book, "Art Is How God Loves Us: The Sacred Beauty of Created Things." After graduating from Juilliard, Merideth found herself questioning whether she even liked music anymore. Through faith, she slowly rediscovered the joy of creating and learned to receive love through art rather than striving to prove her worth. Together, they explore spiritual synesthesia, the invitation to “let art break your heart,” and the ways beauty can awaken wonder, compassion, and healing. Whether you’re a practicing artist or simply curious, this conversation invites you to pay attention and discover what God might be saying through the beauty around you. 📖 Get Merideth’s book: https://a.co/d/08q96Yc5 🎧 Listen to Artists for Joy: https://artistsforjoy.org/pod 🌐 Explore Merideth’s work: https://artistsforjoy.org/ 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes of LAB the Podcast @VUVIVOV3 🎥 Watch to experience the space, hear the heart, and meet the people. 🙏 Support / Sponsor: https://vuvivo.com/support 📲 Follow: @labthepodcast | @vuvivo_v3 | @zachjelliott | @artistsforjoy Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.

    LAB the Podcast with Morgan Irons | Widow of Nain and “The Vision Is Jesus” series

    American painter Morgan Irons returns to LAB the Podcast to reflect on creating the Widow of Nain, the second of seven original oil commissions in VU VI VO’s "The Vision is Jesus" series. Morgan shares why she centered the human experience of a grieving mother, how placing figures within the landscapes of the American West opens a well of meaning, and what the painting continues to reveal through those who encounter it. Morgan and Zach also explore land and stewardship, women in the West, and the vital role of patronage in an artist’s life. Their conversation considers what becomes possible when artists are given the trust, time, encouragement, and resources to bring meaningful work into the world and why experiencing art together can awaken wonder, hope, and deeper meaning. 🎟️ Tickets: Join us for the V3 Art Unveiling on December 17, 2026, featuring Carla Paine’s Adoration of the Magi: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/v3-art-unveiling-with-carla-paine-tickets-1986804561928 🎨 Explore Morgan Irons’ work: https://www.morganirons.com/ 🖼️ V3 Art Unveiling 2026 with Morgan Irons: https://youtu.be/QdBzzbucV1s?si=FJ7GxYYFTmvcAxu7 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes of LAB the Podcast @VUVIVOV3 🎥 Watch to experience the space, hear the heart, and meet the people. 🙏 Support / Sponsor: https://vuvivo.com/support 📲 Follow: @labthepodcast | @vuvivo_v3 | @zachjelliott | @morganirons Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.

    LAB the Podcast with Emily Pastor | Mary, Overshadowed and “The Vision Is Jesus” series

    Award-winning artist Emily Pastor returns to LAB the Podcast to revisit Mary, Overshadowed, the first painting in V3’s The Vision Is Jesus series, and reflect on everything that has unfolded since its unveiling. Emily shares the hidden story of creating the work in a makeshift laundry-room studio, the significance of portraying Mary as a conquering figure holding a lily instead of a weapon, and the discipline required to bring a monumental painting into the world. She and Zach also explore her new In Part series, finding creative renewal after burnout, and the vital role of patrons, collectors, and galleries in helping artists flourish. Together, they consider how art can awaken wonder, deepen our visual language, and lead us toward beauty, goodness, truth, faith, and hope. 🎟️ Tickets: Join us for the V3 Art Unveiling on December 17: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/v3-art-unveiling-with-carla-paine-tickets-1986804561928 🎨 Learn about Mary Overshadow: https://vuvivo.com/blog/2024/12/18/mary-overshadowed-emily-a-pastor 🌎Connect with Emily: https://emilypastor.com/ 📰 Sign Up for Emily Pastor’s Newsletter: https://emilypastor.com/newsletter 🖼️ Learn about the V3 Art Loan Program: https://vuvivo.com/art-loan-program 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes of LAB the Podcast @VUVIVOV3 🎥 Watch to experience the space, hear the heart, and meet the people. 🙏 Support / Sponsor: https://vuvivo.com/support 📲 Follow: @labthepodcast | @vuvivo_v3 | @zachjelliott | @emilypastorart Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.
