Faith and Art Course
What does the Kingdom Art Life look like for Christians who do not make ‘Christian art,’ and are building their art careers in mainstream/secular culture?
The Kingdom Art Life Study Course is a resource to spark and support biblical conversation addressing this question and experience. Due to the kind of art we make, who we make it with, and where we make it, we have both been told and have told ourselves that our kind of art life is misaligned with our Christian walk. Though this conversation has been shifting, there is still a need for guidance about cultivating an unfragmented life in art that honors the spiritual, creative, and vocational parts of our experience as Christians building art careers in secular culture.
The Kingdom Art Life Course features 12 modules that empower artists to cultivate a relationship-deepening, God-honoring, Christ-centered, Spirit-led, faith-maturing, fruit-producing, kingdom-building art career in the marketplace (secular culture).
