This week I share the work I’ve been doing around the subject of worship. Two things converge for me this week: First, I am the new Dean of the Chapel at Luther Seminary and it is my responsibility to cultivate, steward, and shepherd the worship and spiritual life of our Seminary. Second, I am writing a course called Loving God with our Spirit for Faith+Lead Academy in which I talk about the spiritual practice of worship.
I spent all day on Friday visually thinking through the question, “Why are there so many worship styles, and how do I choose one that’s right for me?” I find that Toon Boom Storyboard Pro is an excellent tool to create multi-dimensional mind maps. If you’ve read my book The Visual Preacher then you know that I love creating mind maps to visually explore a sermon, or any presentation. This livestream is an example of that.
I hope you find this session interesting and helpful. I get rambling a bit, and definitely run out of time to go deeply into all the ideas I drew about.

In this livestream session I talk about the Two Books that we read to learn about God: the book of nature and the book of scripture. I also work on an illustration for Science and the Church of how photosynthesis works in trees.

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!

In this session of Art Pastor Live I interview photographer Ethan Thomason and am filled with awe and wonder as we view his gallery of photographs in which he captures the vast universe of the tiniest life forms that grow in our backyard. You don’t want to miss it.
