As believers, we create because we’ve been created by the One who fashioned everything together, with no point of reference. In this episode of Glo, Blair Linne, Aixa de López, Sharon Dickens, and Soojin Park talk about how all creation, especially the arts, points us to God—the Creator himself. They discuss broadening our definition of “art,” the difference between art for the church and art from the church, how art can move us to worship the person of Christ, and more.
