Choose and Be Chosen: What's Shaping the Artist You're Becoming?

“I don't use Christ to confirm the world I already see. I allow Christ to teach me how to see.”

What is your life—and your creative imagination—actually organized around?

Drawing from theologian Alan Jones's book Soul Making, Lisa explores the idea that we don't simply choose a worldview or paradigm. Over time, that paradigm also chooses us, shaping what we notice, what we value, what we fear, and ultimately who we become.

For Artists of faith, the challenge goes beyond professing belief or incorporating Christian ideas into our work. It's about allowing Christ to transform our perception of reality itself.

In this episode, we explore what it means to choose Christ as our center, continually examine what's shaping our sight, and become artists with the theological awareness, artistic sensitivity, and courage to help others see reality more truthfully.
