“The call of the creative is the call to imagine an- other reality. Whether it’s by shedding light on the ways in which our current living falls short of God’s vision for humanity, or by articulating the possibilities of a shalom here on earth — the creative ultimately helps us locate ourselves within the larger story of God’s unfolding work in all of creation.”

“Some preachers take a text and preach on it; some take a text and preach about it, some take a text and preach from it and never get back to it; but I take a text and just slosh all over it.”

“The hardest part is walking toward the things that will seemingly result in our death. It isn’t the struggle, it isn’t the battle, and it isn’t the making. It is the moment when we clearly see all the ways we could be crushed by continuing and still take a step forward. In the pursuit of art, we learn the courage to face death, failure, and fear. It is the bravery of walking towards the things that feel impossible. It is the knowing that to practice our art is to practice resurrection again and again and again. Amen.”
