Arts in Mission

Val Lieske and Ryan Stockert
January 19, 2020

#Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:27; Hebrews 11:1-3; Exodus 31; Acts 17:28; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Isaiah 31# Val and Ryan argue that art and creativity are integral to both faith and culture. Val emphasizes that God introduces Himself as Creator in Genesis, suggesting humanity is inherently creative, and that the Bible uses story and vision extensively to communicate truth. She challenges the idea of "Christian art" as a separate category, advocating for art that grapples with difficult questions and reflects both light and darkness, similar to church. Ryan adds that creativity and imagination are essential for a healthy society and the church, driving culture and offering hope. He shares his personal journey of quitting radio to pursue filmmaking, highlighting God's call to create and redeem culture through art, and encourages the congregation to embrace their creative passions and use them to reach others and glorify Jesus, as they are all works of art created by God.
