We discuss our five senses as the way we experience God's closeness and grace and how artists give us language and portals to engage our senses more fully in worship and life. David aruges that the body is not merely a neutral spectator or something to overcome but that God has an essential purpose for good for our bodies in worship.

A professor at Fuller Theological Seminary, he has lectured widely on the arts, from Thailand to South Africa. He has written for The Washington Post, Image Journal, Theology Today, Worship, Religion News Service, Christianity Today, and Books & Culture, among others.

Reflections
Libby’s podcast holds up a mirror and a window into the lives of those who serve and work in their daily walk. Her thoughtful questions and responses echo the light she finds in those interviewed. We all benefit from that shine. Thank you, Libby. This work is so so good.
Soul Nourishing for Artists
Libby’s podcast has been such good soul food for my soul to spur me on in my creativity. I am inspired and encouraged by each episode as I listen to artists sharing their journeys.
Her benedictions and words to us artists has helped me remember my “why” behind my art and keep going even in the face of internal and external resistance in my work.
I am so grateful for this podcast, because as one guest suggests, there are few spaces where artists of faith feel like we can be fully ourselves - as those often operating on the margins, the art and faith podcast creates a space of hospitality to welcome our full selves. I am so grateful for Libby’s voice and this space in the world!
Love these conversations!
This is a great place to find fantastic conversations about the intersection of art and faith
