    Forrest Dickison, a fine artist and author, joins Will Spencer to discuss his new children's book, "Crispin's Rainy Day," and the unique artistic journey that brought it to life. The conversation explores the essence of creativity, emphasizing that everyone possesses some artistic talent and can find fulfillment in expressing it, regardless of their medium. Dickison shares insights into the importance of recognizing one's gifts and using them to glorify God, while also reflecting on the moral complexities often found within the creative world.

The discussion touches on the challenges of maintaining artistic integrity in a world that often prioritizes commercial success over genuine expression. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their failures as essential learning experiences and to cultivate a thick skin in the face of critique, ultimately recognizing that the true value of art lies in its capacity to bless and inspire others. Takeaways: Forrest emphasizes the importance of recognizing and cultivating one's artistic gifts for God's glory.
