In this episode, we engage in an enlightening conversation with W. David O. Taylor, the author of the thought-provoking book, "A Body of Praise". We take a deep dive into the complex subject of the significance of our physical bodies in the context of corporate worship. Taylor's book is a powerful testament against the belief that our bodies are at best negligible and at worst a hindrance in worship. He argues passionately that our bodies are crucial, offering what only they can in worship, and aiding in the formation of Christlikeness within us.Taylor's rich insights, drawn from a range of sources including the Bible, church history, and theology, provide listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the role and purpose of our physical bodies in worship. He goes a step further by integrating unique perspectives from the arts and sciences, ethics, and spiritual formation, broadening our understanding of our physicality in worship.One of the key arguments in Taylor's book is the vital role of our postures, gestures, and movements in worship, asserting their significant contribution to our spiritual formation. He also places great emphasis on the crucial role of our senses - sight, scent, sound, taste, and touch - in worship and how engaging these senses can profoundly enrich our worship experiences.Taylor further explores the importance of both spontaneous and prescriptive activities in shaping us during worship. Our conversation wraps up with a reaffirmation of the importance of a body that is fully alive in the praise of God. This episode promises to be an enlightening journey that may compel you to reevaluate your own engagement and perception of your body in worship. Join us as we navigate this enriching conversation, which is sure to deepen your understanding and reshape your worship experience.Buy his book: https://a.co/d/2Gd8jk8Guest Bio:Born in Guatemala City, W.

In this episode, Sara Joy and Eric talk with Pastor Gabe Coyle about the fruition of Four Chapter Gallery, an art space developed, curated, and managed by Christ Community Church in downtown Kansas City. As an artist himself, Gabe discusses how his passions and dreams have taken on new shape by planting a church with the intention of connecting with the local arts community. The Four Chapter Gallery was born in 2013 from both the passion of church staff and the neighborhood request to see gallery space as part of the church development. Using the biblical framework of four chapters (movements): creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, the Four Chapter Gallery seeks to bring flourishing to the local arts community by offering beautiful gallery space and valuable support in promoting the work of the artist and treating each artist with care and dignity. Additionally, Christ Community Church has chosen to make the art gallery a significant budget line item so that everything is funded by the church, which provides the flexibility to not take a percentage from the artists. The gallery has gained a respected reputation among artists and their shows are currently booked out through January 2024. The Four Chapter Gallery hosts concept-based art exhibitions that engage culturally relevant themes and ideas. They have three core values when it comes to the kind of work they desire to present in their space. These values are:Art with ideas - artwork that has been created around particular themes, ideas, or research.The work of emerging artists - they has a special desire to boost emerging artists.Art that creates generative conversation - they love exhibiting work that presses into issues relevant to the culture, city, and neighborhood in a generative way. Eric and Sara Joy also speak with two field guides who provide more insight into the value and characteristics of good gallery space and programming for art and the ways that churches have engaged art throughout history. Sandra Bowden, an artist and curator, discusses the value of gallery space and programming that supports the artist and provides thoughtful, educational connections with the art to steward a viewer's experience with the art itself. David Taylor from Fuller Theological Seminary provides the historical framework on the connections between art and the church, highlighting various movements in history and within specific theological traditions that have come to shape the way churches engage with art. Episode ContributorsGabe Coyle is the Campus Pastor of Christ Community Church in downtown Kansas City, MO. Sandra Bowden is a visual artist based in Chatham, MA.
