Podcasts about masterpieces

If you've ever stood in front of a mirror and struggled to like what you saw—or questioned if your life really has value—I want to remind you of something sacred: You are His workmanship. Not an afterthought. Not a fixer-upper. A masterpiece. The fingerprint of Heaven is on your life, and today, we're learning to see what God sees.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…” — Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)That word “workmanship” in Greek is poiēma—where we get the word “poem.” It means something crafted, something designed with beauty and intention. You're not a random collection of gifts, flaws, and quirks. You're a carefully written story authored by the Creator of the universe.God doesn't create junk. He doesn't mass-produce souls. He hand-forms. He sculpts. And when He made you, He stepped back and said, “It is good.”Here's the tragedy: We let the world graffiti God's artwork. We accept labels and criticisms from others and then question our worth. But the Artist—not the critics—gets to define the masterpiece.You are God's design.You are beautiful in His eyes.You were created for good works that only you can do.That means you don't need to copy anyone else's path. You don't have to chase what looks impressive. You were made with divine fingerprints and a divine purpose.Even your imperfections are tools in His hands. What you call “broken,” He calls “redeemable.” What you hide, He heals. And what you doubt, He declares worthy.Question of the Day:Do you see yourself as God's workmanship—or have you been believing what the world has said about you?Mini Call to Action:Today, write down one thing about yourself you've always disliked—and ask God to show you how He sees it. Let Him redefine it with grace.Let's Pray:Father, thank You for making me Your masterpiece. Help me to see myself through Your eyes. Heal the places where I've believed less, and teach me to walk in the beauty of who You created me to be. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Masterpieces don't compete—they reflect the Master. Start seeing what God already sees in you.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Imagine you're an art detective, and your task is to explore the mysteries behind the world's most famous paintings. I'm talking about works from Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Picasso. Grab your magnifying glass as this journey is about to begin. And if you love art, you think you can recognize the main masterpieces no matter what they look like, right?

Your greatest creative work already exists. Right now, in your optimal timeline, the masterpiece you were born to create has been completed. The innovation that will revolutionize your field has been perfected. The artistic expression that will move millions of souls has been brought into full manifestation by the version of yourself who has actualized your complete creative potential. Creative genius is not the ability to pull something magnificent from nothing through raw talent and relentless effort. Creative genius is the capacity to access and channel creative intelligence that already exists in a state of completion beyond the limitations of linear time and individual consciousness. Throughout history, every breakthrough artist, inventor, and visionary has reported the same phenomenon: their greatest works came through them rather than from them. They felt like vessels receiving transmission from a source of intelligence far greater than their individual creative capacity.Mozart described hearing complete symphonies in his mind as if a cosmic orchestra were performing them in another dimension. He didn't compose music so much as transcribe what he heard playing in the field of infinite musical possibility. Tesla could see his inventions operating perfectly in his imagination before he built them, testing and refining them in a mental laboratory that existed beyond physical constraints. Einstein discovered that his most profound insights arrived not through mathematical calculation but through what he called "combinatory play" - a state of receptive consciousness where breakthrough understanding could emerge fully formed. He understood that genius thinking operates according to principles completely different from ordinary analytical reasoning. These masters weren't superhuman. They had simply learned to access a level of creative intelligence that exists beyond individual consciousness. They discovered how to receive completed works from what we now understand as their optimal creative timeline. This represents a fundamental paradigm shift in how we understand the creative process. Instead of seeing creation as the struggle to generate something from nothing, we begin to recognize creation as the art of remembering what already exists in a state of completion in the quantum field of infinite possibility.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Margaret Philbrick, author of the book House of Honor. Margaret is an award-winning novelist and an award-winning poet. She lives into her calling as a writer and life-long gardener to plant seeds in hearts. John Ruskin's view that the “greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way,” is a core motivation of her work in photography, poetry, painting, writing and music. Margaret writes across all genre and has essays in Christianity Today, Relevant, The Redbud Hyphen, and Patheos. Margaret is a founding member of the Redbud Writers Guild NFP and is the contributing editor of the Guild's collection of essays and poetry for women, Everbloom.  Margaret is a member of the Redbud Writers Guild, ACFW, Wedgewood Circle and the Door County Published Author Collective. You can find Margaret digging in the dirt or wandering in a forest and connect with her via her website.   In my book review, I stated House of Honor is a historical thriller set in Italy. Margaret touts the book as a Godfather meets The Da Vinci Code but with a redemptive twist. I tout it as a book I couldn't put down!   Orazio Bordoni is a son of a construction magnate - but he wants nothing more than to be an artist. So, he leaves home and follows on a similar path as Caravaggio - a 16th century artist very much admired by Orazio. Before long, Orazio is caught up in slimy Vatican politics, the Sicilian mafia, and a lover with a powerful political father.   What starts out as a "job" turns into a test - one where he must prove his loyalty to the mafia. Will Orazio lose his family? His lover? His friends? His art? His life? The tale twists and turns, often leaving the reader breathless.   Margaret does an amazing job helping the reader experience the underbelly of Italy while exposing us to the world of art - all while keeping us guessing as to what will happen next. If you like a good thriller, then you'll love House of Honor.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Margaret Philbrick Website: https://margaretphilbrick.com/ IG: @margaretannphilbrick/ IG (poetry): @seasonedpoetess FB: @margaret.philbrick.9 TikTok: @seasonedpoetess   Purchase House of Honor on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4kdj8Hh Ebook: https://amzn.to/43pelwO   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

In 1897, Gustav Klimt led a group of radical artists to break free from the cultural establishment of Vienna and found a movement that became known as the Vienna Secession. In the vibrant atmosphere of coffee houses, Freudian psychoanalysis and the music of Wagner and Mahler, the Secession sought to bring together fine art and music with applied arts such as architecture and design. The movement was characterized by Klimt's stylised paintings, richly decorated with gold leaf, and the art nouveau buildings that began to appear in the city, most notably the Secession Building, which housed influential exhibitions of avant-garde art and was a prototype of the modern art gallery. The Secessionists themselves were pioneers in their philosophy and way of life, aiming to immerse audiences in unified artistic experiences that brought together visual arts, design, and architecture. With:Mark Berry, Professor of Music and Intellectual History at Royal Holloway, University of LondonLeslie Topp, Professor Emerita in History of Architecture at Birkbeck, University of LondonAndDiane Silverthorne, art historian and 'Vienna 1900' scholarProducer: Eliane GlaserReading list:Mark Berry, Arnold Schoenberg: Critical Lives (Reaktion Books, 2018)Gemma Blackshaw, Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna 1900 (National Gallery Company, 2013)Elizabeth Clegg, Art, Design and Architecture in Central Europe, 1890-1920 (Yale University Press, 2006)Richard Cockett, Vienna: How the City of Ideas Created the Modern World (Yale University Press, 2023)Stephen Downes, Gustav Mahler (Reaktion Books, 2025)Peter Gay, Freud, Jews, and Other Germans: Masters and Victims in Modernist Culture (Oxford University Press, 1979)Tag Gronberg, Vienna: City of Modernity, 1890-1914 (Peter Lang, 2007)Allan S.

Further distinguishing his practice, Zeke is a Leed Accredited Professional, a testament to his dedication to creating spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also sustainable and environmentally conscious.When the workday is done and the tools are put away, Zeke's passions shift to the great outdoors. A true adventurer at heart, he finds his balance and inspiration in nature. He is a father who finds immense joy in the simple pleasure of fishing with his boys, making memories by the water's edge. At other times, he seeks the thrill and solitude of the mountains, running along a scenic Colorado trail, finding a parallel between navigating the challenging terrain and guiding a complex project to its successful completion.

In our previous episode, we explored what makes a board game a true masterpiece—a creation that showcases a designer's greatest achievement, marked by exceptional craftsmanship, originality, and lasting impact. This time, we're taking the conversation even deeper. In Masterpieces 2, the Founders shift the spotlight to the brilliant minds behind the games themselves. We'll be celebrating the visionary game designers whose work has shaped the hobby - and welcoming four Honorary Founders as guest hosts, each presenting their favorite designer and the game they consider to be that designer's crowning achievement.

One of the most imaginative architects in history, Francesco Borromini (1599-1667), came out of the quarries of Switzerland to transform the face of Baroque Rome.

Every day, 10,000 people in the United States turn 65—a statistic that underscores one of the most significant demographic shifts in history.

You might encounter an ice sculpture of a swan at a fancy banquet, or an ice luge on a night out. But have you ever seen an 18-foot-tall punk baby with a mohawk made of ice? That’s one of the massive ice sculptures dreamt up by world-class ice carver Chris Foltz.
