The war in Ukraine. Economic crisis. Isolation and mental illness. Our silent struggles. How might these and other trials be a crucible for our faith and artistic practices? In this episode, we make space to come before the Lord in lament, meditating on Psalm 86.
United Adoration's "A Place of Beauty Podcast" is a 21-week series to complement our devotional, "A Place of Beauty." Every Monday, from Advent to Easter, we invite artists (and non-artists) to meditate on Scripture and to consider their identity, struggles, and creative process in the light of the True Creator, the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To purchase the devotional, visit Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
