Art Pastor Live is where faith and creativity meet in real time.
I periodically go live to explore scripture through drawing and painting—offering a unique space to reflect, imagine, and be spiritually renewed. Whether you’re a visual learner, a fellow artist, or simply seeking a fresh way to engage your faith, you’re invited to watch, wonder, and grow with me.

Coming Up Next…
Advent is almost here. It is my favorite season of the year. I would love for you to join me on a contemplative journey through this season. Every Tuesday evening at 8:00pm Central Time I am going live for a series of contemplative art sessions. Each week I am going to visually explore the scripture and theme for the upcoming Sunday of Advent. We will meditate on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. And then, on the Tuesday before Christmas I’ll do a final meditation on the Nativity.
You are invited to create your own work of art along with me, or simply allow my creative process to open a contemplative space for you.
In a world that is moving so fast and full of so much pain and division, I hope this will open up a space for us to simply rest together.
Head over to artpastor.com/advent to find out how to tune in and join the creative process.
We’ll see you there.
