Join podcast producer Gianna Lazzaro as guest host alongside Dave Strunk, Moderator of the 45th General Assembly, for the first episode of a special four-week series exploring God and art. In this conversation, Gianna and Dave dive into foundational questions about the nature of art and beauty, defining art as a gratuitous human creation of beauty and an intrinsic act that flows from being made in God’s image.
The discussion explores how art has been present throughout human civilization—from cave paintings to poetry—and examines beauty as a reflection of God’s perfection and nature. Future episodes will explore art and the Bible, art in the Christian life, and art for God’s glory. See the list below for some of the resources Gianna and Dave mentioned in this episode!
