Defining Your Art

It intrigues me to know what it is that other artists do, how you might define your own art, and even your approach to the creative process. I really want to encourage you to share your thoughts on this.

Artists are God’s little pickpockets

If we choose (and we do have a choice), the art we create and share can have the audacity, the dramatic suddenness to move people, to be a bit impolite perhaps and so disquieting that it challenges fixed perceptions and perspectives.

The Immeasurable Distance

This is more about what I see in my own heart and the world around me, the immeasurable distance between what is read in the Bible and the practice of the church and Christians.

Silence is the Real Crime Against Humanity

What a disturbing yet beautiful quote, “Silence is the real crime against humanity.” I’ve found that it’s difficult enough being open to life itself but retreating from it brings its own dangers.

Not Enough Room for Diversity

Not enough room for diversity or discussion when it comes to “different perspectives or approaches” in supporting humanitarian causes?

We Are All In The Gutter

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Art as a Hammer to Shape Culture

“Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.” So what does that mean?

Forward Thinking Jesus

I think most of us would agree that Jesus was forward thinking, so why isn’t that necessarily true of the Church? While we’re often responsive in the arts, it’s uncommon for us to be forward thinking enough to allow artists the freedom to be uniquely innovative, capturing imaginations once again, and engaging culture.
