Episode 90: "liminal" w/ Justin ZhongHeng Teo

A chat on artistry and Christian discipleship with my Singaporean friend, Justin ZhongHeng Teo! Among other gems, he shares the ways in which a liminal season brought depth to his relationship with the Lord, and maturation that prepared him for exciting new pursuits.  One of my personal take-aways was Justin's statement that "creating is not so much about doing something that would be celebrated, but coming to a place where we bring art to this life and it's experiences; of capturing the moment and the feelings and displaying that to the world in a way that feels most true ...  " You can keep up with Justin's creative journey on Spotify & Instagram ::  Jiakpng :: (Fart In The Room) https://open.spotify.com/artist/31VwfBtXax1zwQbiETVLJY [https://open.spotify.com/artist/31VwfBtXax1zwQbiETVLJY] Justin ZhongHeng Teo :: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vrNVS0XKRywws3XjS5IHl [https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vrNVS0XKRywws3XjS5IHl] IG Handle :: https://www.instagram.com/jiakpngjustin/ [https://www.instagram.com/jiakpngjustin/] *We did have a bit of trouble with the internet connection, which led to just a touch of editing to remove the sound of re-dialing and waiting to connect.*  ~ Patient endurance is what we need now.

Episode 89: A Reasonable Grief

Knowing when we are should not lead us to passivity or despair, but inspire and encourage us towards wholehearted purpose as we delight in our capacity to fulfill irreplaceable desires in the heart of God ... the song I referenced will be uploaded to my youtube channel, The Turf Shack [https://www.youtube.com/@RebekkahTheBand] "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside very weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted." ~ Hebrews 12:1-3 " The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward Him and find Him. Yet is is actually not far from each one of us ..." ~ Acts 17:24-27 "But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." ~ Matthew 24:13-14 ~ Patient endurance is what we need now.
