The Steadfast Creative

Episode 001 | Art For God's Sake, Part I: Introduction

Welcome to “The Steadfast Creative” podcast, a show all about helping Christian creatives maintain their devotion to God, develop their skills, and push back against darkness in our world. I’m your host, LJ Nadal, and in today’s episode, we’re going to be starting off with a series about the very foundations of Christian art and creativity.  What does God say about the arts? Can you be a Christian and an artist? How do the arts impact your church? I recently had the pleasure of finding and reading a book called “Art For God’s Sake: A Call To Recover The Arts” by Philip Graham Ryken [https://www.amazon.com/Art-Gods-Sake-Call-Recover/dp/1596380071/ref=sr_1_1?crid=17WMHV1C11WTJ&keywords=art+for+god%27s+sake&qid=1706047533&sprefix=art+for+gods+sa%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-1] - it is a short read, but it answers so many questions and filled me with encouragement and more boldness to continue my journey as a Christian artist and creative. I think this information will impact you quite a bit as well. So in this podcast episode, we will be talking about the opening and introduction chapter of the book!
