Michael is joined by Gracie McBride, who just finished up a summer internship with Renew the Arts. Gracie is a musician and a writer with a Master in Theology and the Arts from the University of St. Andrews. They talk about the value of arts education and her interest in the communal aspects of art appreciation and creation.
Gracie makes music under the name Gracie Virginia. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear her unreleased single, “All of the Virginias,” which she generously allowed Renew the Arts to preview for our podcast before its release.
Michael interviews Phillip Snyder, author, thinker, and founder of Living Room Disciple and Living Tome Publishing, about the state of Christian fiction, both as a label and the genre, and the power of sanctified imagination.

Michael is joined for the second part of his conversation with Chase Tremaine about AI. This time they delve into some of the tendencies of over-reliance on technology, and the ways that affects and disrupts human creation. They then explore Chase’s three rules of thumb for using (or not using) AI, especially as it relates to artistic creation.
Chase also mentions his upcoming single, “More Changed than Changing” in this episode. It would mean a lot to us if you would pre-save it and check it out when it releases.
Chase Tremaine joins Michael to discuss recent developments in AI news, as LLMs and Machine Learning have begun to touch on most every aspect of our lives. Is AI inevitable, or is its bubble ready to burst?
