Have you ever wondered what God thinks about the arts? Today, we are going to get a glimpse into God's heart for the arts through looking at the creation of the Tabernacle (Exodus 31:1-11). This is important to know because the devil has distorted the arts in many ways, but God is in the business of redemption. Will you be faithful to the Lord as an artist in a very god-less field? I know you will leave encouraged by today's episode!


Much of today's episode was inspired by the sermon, "Art For God's Sake," by Dr. Philip Ryken. I would encourage you to listen to it. You may also enjoy Dr. Ryken's book, "Art For God's Sake: A Call to Recover the Arts."
