The Art Pastor explore spirituality and scripture with me through art and creativity

September 2024

Hi reader,

Ah, September. For those of us who live in the Northern hemisphere and are connected to a school, this is the beginning of a new year. People are wrapping up their summer activities and getting prepared for a new, more regimented rhythm of life.

Two big things are happening in my life this month about which I ask for your prayers and invite you to join me.

First, I begin a new role as Dean of the Chapel at Luther Seminary. It is my responsibility to steward and shepherd the worship and spiritual life of our Luther Seminary community. Read more about how this came to be HERE.

Second, I am offering a 4-week course on The Art of Discipleship that starts on Tuesday, September 17 at 7:00pm CT on Zoom. The sessions will be recorded if you are not able to make it live. This course explores practical ways that we can follow the Way of Jesus in our complex world. Learn how to join HERE.

I'd love to know how I can be praying for you this month. Please let me know by replying to this email.

Enjoy the resources I've curated for your spiritual enrichment below.

Sharing this journey with you,
Steve
Here are ways you can engage the journey:
  1. If you only receive my monthly newsletters, you might want to change your subscription to daily posts so you don't miss anything.
  2. Bookmark the Art of Discipleship page and check back often, especially if you don't want to subscribe to the daily posts (I get it).
  3. Tune in to The Art Pastor Live! each week to join me as I draw my way through The Art Pastor's Guide to Discipleship.

Visualizing Discipleship: Exploring the Metaphor of Disciple-ship as Being an Apprentice of Jesus

In this session of Art Pastor Live I define the term discipleship and then play with the metaphor by drawing a disciple ship in procreate on my iPad. Enjoy!
