Apparently!
Inspiro Arts Alliance is an international ministry that exists to cultivate and empower artists globally to spark beautiful worship and witness among the least reached. One of their core desires is to nurture artists and to live incarnationally in their communities, using their local art forms to inspire local Jesus followers to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. They reached out to me a couple months ago after discovering my blog post, Woodworking and God’s Poiema. They wanted to include a version of that post in their November newsletter, VIVID.
So, let me introduce you to the e-version of their new edition of VIVID magazine, including my article with the same title as the blog post. The magazine is one of many resources Inspiro Arts Alliance uses as they inspire, train, and equip a global movement of artists living out God’s beauty among the world’s least reached. From their reveal email…
This edition of VIVID focuses on recognizing God’s masterpieces in art, faith, and community. Do you see yourself as a masterpiece? Nowadays, people have distorted self-images as they are bombarded by social media and the pressure of status, whether financially, in their jobs, or socially. Certain groups of people are also looked down upon if they are not the majority or if they are different. This issue delves into what the Bible says about masterpieces so people can find their worth in God’s truth. We pray that the articles empower readers to base their identities in God while also showing them examples of ways to help others see themselves as God sees them.
You will need to scroll down a bit to find the article. For Americans, this will give you something to do as you recover from your Thanksgiving meal. For the rest of the world – something to read and consider on a typical Thursday.
So there you have it – I’m officially an artist!
