    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.

    LAB the Podcast with Peterson Jean-Marie | Faith, Creativity & the Story Behind “Blessings”

    Peterson Jean-Marie joins LAB the Podcast for a thoughtful conversation about faith, music, and the deeply human work of creating. The Tampa based singer-songwriter, storyteller, and worship leader reflects on discovering music through the saxophone at fourteen, finding his own voice, and creating with obedience rather than perfection. Peterson also shares the story behind his newest song “Blessings,” a reminder to recognize God’s faithfulness, praise Him in every season, and receive even the smallest gifts with gratitude. Together, they explore creativity in the age of AI, the beauty of live music and local community, the shared life of corporate worship, and the courage to release meaningful work in God’s timing. 🎧 Listen to Blessings: https://open.spotify.com/album/4RGr1ypOhVyYBFE7shULQw?si=OFH7SP0ZSUSEtKXU7279jw 🔔 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 | @peteyjmusic Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.

    LAB the Podcast with Alex Ruhnau | Building Beauty as Worship

    What happens when the work of your hands becomes an act of worship? In this episode, Zach sits down with Alex Ruhnau, a Marine Corps veteran, architect, builder, husband, and father to explore the sacred connection between faith, craftsmanship, and the places we create. Alex shares how God led him from building race cars and custom motorcycles to architecture that brought him to faith at the University of Florida and taught him to surrender his plans and trust God’s provision. He also takes us inside the making of the Shiloah Wall, a seven-arch installation whose form, materials and symbolism draw the eye upward and tell the story of redemption through Jesus. Together, they reflect on work as worship, beauty as a witness, and why excellence always requires sacrifice. This conversation is an invitation to let theology shape our imagination, steward our gifts with care, and create what lasts for the glory of God and the good of others. 🌎 Learn more about Alex’s work: https://www.ruhnauconstruction.com/ 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes of LAB the Podcast 🎥 Watch to experience the space, hear the heart, and meet the people. 🙏 Support / Sponsor: https://vuvivo.com/support 📲 Follow: @labthepodcast | @vuvivo_v3 | @zachjelliott | @ruhnauconstruction | @akruhnau Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.

    LAB the Podcast with Josh Nadeau | Stories that shape who we become

    What if the stories we consume are training us either to face the dragon or run from it? Artist, Author, and Storyteller Josh Nadeau joins LAB the Podcast to explore beauty, suffering, spiritual formation, and the stories that shape who we become. Reflecting on his journey into Orthodox Christianity, the disciplines that teach us to say no for greater yeses, and his work with Inkwell, Josh challenges the modern promise of a comfortable, frictionless life. Together, Josh and Zach consider why art must do more than entertain, how reading gives us new eyes, and how tending the people and places entrusted to us can form lives marked by courage, love, and hope. 🌎 Read Josh’s work: https://substack.com/@everydaysaints ✍️ Explore Inkwell: https://inkwellct.substack.com/ 🔔 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 | @swordandpencil Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.
