    A Place of Beauty - Week 21: “Kintsugi People in a Fractured World”

    A Place of Beauty - Week 21: “Kintsugi People in a Fractured World”

    In our final episode of the "A Place of Beauty Podcast," we continue in Isaiah 61, focusing on verses 8-13. How do we respond to the Lord's recreation of a fractured world? How does the artwork of kintsugi reflect truths about God's people? Can we be more than just kintsugi people, but kintsgui masters in our communities?

    A Place of Beauty - Week 20: “The Calling in the Crushing”

    A Place of Beauty - Week 20: “The Calling in the Crushing”

    What if your struggles don't disqualify you, but help define (or refine) the calling on your life? In our Holy Week episode, we reflect on Christ's passion along the Via Dolorosa (The Way of the Cross) in light of the prophecy found in Isaiah 61:1-7. How does Christ's suffering invite us into the power of our own pain?

    A Place of Beauty - Week 18: “Worship as Warfare”

    A Place of Beauty - Week 17: “Light in the Darkness”

    A Place of Beauty - Week 17: “Light in the Darkness”

    Do you see your creativity as light in darkness? This week, we reflect on John 8:12-20. How we might shine Christ's light through our art? What wounds have we acquired, or inflicted, when the light in creativity is tempered or snuffed out?

    A Place of Beauty - Week 16: “When No Ideas Come”

    A Place of Beauty - Week 16: “When No Ideas Come”

    When our creativity is tied to our identity, how do we respond to God and ourselves when navigating creative dry spells? This week, we make space to hear from the Lord as we reflect on Romans 8:1-11, asking the Holy Spirit to speak louder than the other voices that would condemn us in our fallow seasons of creativity.

Arts and the church

Dave Frincke is doing such a great job of curating these interviews with artists and pastors, bringing to light issues in church music. If you're an artist or a pastor in the church, I encourage to give these podcasts a listen.
