Transcript: Years and years ago, centuries ago, the church was the training ground for
artists. Artists apprenticed in the church; they told Biblical stories through their art.
Then, as time has gone on it seems like art and faith have diverged in a sense, and now,
I’m seeing them come a little bit closer together with believing artists who aren’t
doing shlocky stuff, but who are really trying to convey beauty. Not in a hard handed didactic
way, but just in a way that opens up the heart and says, “look at this, it’s beautiful,
because God’s the author of everything that’s good and true and beautiful.” I think art
matters a great deal to the . . . it’s another way for us to tell our story. It’s another
way to communicate. It’s another way to invite people in.
