    I was recently interviewed on the, Humans With Faith podcast with Scott Rodgers. Here is part two of that interview.

In this episode, we dive deeper into the place of art in church and culture, building relationship with artists, leading artists, and the unhelpful stereotypes of artists.

    I thought it would be fun to occasionally talk to some everyday people that I find fun, interesting, and compelling. I want to talk about their life stories and their spiritual voyage. Today I'll talk with Gina. Gina's story is one of tragedy and triumph. She has survived cancer. Twice. Her father committed suicide when she was young. Her partner took her own life. In the thick of the deep pain and stress Gina put on an incredible amount of weight. At her highest weight she was 331 pounds. She has since lost over 170 pounds of that weight. She has recently renewed relationships that have been torn. Over the past two years, Gina's spiritual voyage has been a celebration of renewed relationship, restoration, and a fresh look at her identity. I love talking with Gina.
