The vast majority of Christian artists feel unwelcome and unsupported in their churches.
We believe the Church has a responsibility to welcome and support her artists for the sake of the truth and the good of the world, and this is best accomplished through arts partnership.
Become a financial partner of Renew the Arts to further equip the saints with free tools and practical opportunities in arts partnership.
This is Michael Minkoff, and I’d like to speak to you at length from my heart. You may not know much of what I’m about to tell you, because we don’t regularly talk about it. I honestly don’t like talking about it, as anyone who knows me will readily confirm. But here goes.
We at Renew the Arts have been working for more than fifteen years to support art partnership and community within the body of Christ, and we have never had the resources to fulfill our full potential. By merely human metrics, we should have already ceased to exist, like other much larger and much more “successful” Christian arts organizations before us.
Michael answers an international mailbag full of great questions to close out 2025 on the Renew the Arts podcast, including discussions of how Christians should approach non-family-friendly biblical content, what makes art good, baking and cooking as an art, the Holy Spirit’s role in improvisational art as a prayer offering, and much more. Stay tuned at the end for “Spirit Move,” by Civilized Creature, featuring Isaac Wheadon, from the 2024 album Whose House.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
