1:01 — Two Biggest Lies Christians Believe About The Arts

| March 13, 2018 | 0 comments

Can art preach? Should it?

For their first episode, Michael and Justus discuss the two biggest lies Christians believe about the arts: First, that all art by Christians must present the gospel. Secondly, that no art can present the gospel.

Included at the end of this podcast is the song “Back Where You Belong,” from the album “Before the Bright Lights” by Anthony Quails. This is an album that we sponsored and funded, and we think it illustrates the ability of music to present the truth. Being about the story of Hosea, it’s a song about a person acting out a picture of the church. So we thought it appropriate for this subject.

No, it's not a trap. We promise not to bombard your email inbox. In fact, most people complain we don't send enough emails! But here's what you can expect:

  1. In the following week or so you'll get a few messages. These are individually designed to catch you up on all the great things we're doing!
  2. Once you're caught up, you can expect (on average) one email a month, keeping you updated on the progress we're making toward our mission to liberate Christian creativity.
  3. And once you have a handle on our work, we can try to get you plugged in. Maybe you're an artist who wants to get more involved. Maybe you want to keep tabs on our projects. Whatever has drawn you to our work, this is the best way to get plugged in.
