Faith Isn't An Ingredient: There's Always a World Behind the Work.
Faithfulness as a Christian in the arts isn't primarily about what you add to the work
Iit's about the person and imaginative world the work emerges from. Too often, we focus on the surface. But there’s always a world behind the work: our beliefs, experiences, fears, desires, and the stories shaping our imagination inevitably find their way into what we make.
In this episode, Lisa and Dan explore what might change if we stopped worrying about inserting faith into our art and instead asked a deeper question: How do we become the kind of people from whom faithful work naturally emerges?
