Painting A Mother’s Grief
How do you paint a mother’s grief? I had the honor to accept that challenge last year. In this post I share the journey of creating an oil painting that tries to capture the emotions of a grieving mother over the untimely death of her 19-year-old son who died in a motorcycle accident.
Find Hope Beyond Division
Feeling overwhelmed by today’s divisive climate and the pull towards political extremes? I spoke with artist-pastor Steve Thomason to dive deep into his insights connecting the good news of Jesus’ story to our modern “shadow of tyranny.”
We explore how Jesus navigated intense conflict, challenged power structures non-violently, and offered us a profound “third way” beyond the endless cycle of retaliation – a path centered on listening, humility, and radical love.
This conversation provides a desperately needed perspective for finding hope and acting constructively when everything feels polarized.
If you’re seeking practical, faith-grounded wisdom to navigate division without losing your soul or resorting to domination, watch this episode.
