  1. LAB the Podcast with Sasha Phillips: The Story Behind Madonna Del Armenia

    3D AGO

    LAB the Podcast with Sasha Phillips: The Story Behind Madonna Del Armenia

    In this powerful episode of LAB the Podcast, Zach Elliott sits down with visual artist and iconographer Sasha Phillips to explore a story where art becomes far more than expression, it becomes prayer, legacy, and home. Born in Russia during the final decades of Soviet rule, Sasha inherited a sacred artistic lineage shaped by faith under persecution. What began as quiet sketches passed down through generations has now become a breathtaking 10-foot icon—Madonna Del Armenia—destined for a cathedral in Armenia. Sasha shares the deeply personal journey behind this work: from discovering her great uncle’s original painting to standing before it decades later… and ultimately being invited to carry that legacy forward. What unfolds is a story of divine providence, generational faith, and the mysterious way beauty continues to speak across time.

  2. LAB the Podcast ON THE ROAD with Sacred Heart Catholic Church

    LAB the Podcast ON THE ROAD with Sacred Heart Catholic Church

    What happens when beauty quietly preaches? In this special LAB the Podcast: On THE ROAD episode, we step into the heart of downtown Tampa to explore a space that feels less like a building and more like a living story. Joined by longtime docent Beryl Byles, we uncover the layers of meaning woven into every detail from radiant stained-glass windows to the architecture shaped with purpose and devotion. As we walk through one of Florida’s oldest churches, we’re reminded that beauty isn’t just something to admire—it’s something that points beyond itself. Every window, every symbol, every act of generosity tells a story of faith, legacy, and a community that gave what they had to create something that would outlast them.

    LAB the Podcast ON THE ROAD with St. John's Episcopal Church

    In this special ON THE ROAD episode, LAB the Podcast visits St. John’s Episcopal Church in Tampa, Florida. St. John’s is a sacred space where beauty is overflowing. From stained glass and reverent architecture to the liturgy and community life, every element invites you in to St. John’s.  We explore how beauty shapes worship, how tradition forms imagination, and how sacred spaces quietly disciple us before a single word is spoken. Through conversation with Father Chris of St. John’s, we reflect on the role of liturgy, hospitality, and embodied faith in cultivating a church that doesn’t just house beauty — but invites it into the world.
