Customer Reviews
Thought Provoking
This is a wonderful thought provoking podcast that really helps Christians look deeper into the meaning of the arts and it's role in the church and the world. I've learned so much by listening to it and have had to think through what I think of the arts. It also has affected how I decorate my house with art, what music I listen to and buy, and how I encourage and talk with other artists. I cannot wait for the next season!
Great conversations
Finally there are people putting into words what so many of us have felt for years. These guys approach topics with grace, scripture, and wisdom. This not just another podcast complaining. They’re actually bring hope to Christians and the arts
I'm so happy this is finally happening!
I've been wanting this for awhile, and then I heard other people saying they would listen to it too, and eventually it got around to getting did! Hopefully it's received as well as I think it should be.
