Love is a word that is miscategorized, mislabeled, and more or less abused in our culture. Even the Church has a twisted view of love sometimes. But as we walk according the Spirit, we don't need to stress about if we're "loving the right way." The Holy Spirit will ALWAYS lead us to the fruit of love.

What happens when art is created not just with the hand, but from the heart? For contemplative abstract painter Chad Glazener, painting has become a spiritual practice—one that grew from his past life as a pastor and now anchors his present as an artist. His layered compositions and organic marks emerge from silence, forming a visual record of presence that invites viewers to pause, turn inward, and encounter wisdom in new ways.Rooted in a background of theater and movement, Chad brings an embodied dimension to his art. Influenced by the Viewpoints method and Suzuki training, he explores tempo, space, and stillness as spiritual tools. For him, painting is less about how to hold a brush and more about how to hold consciousness. Returning often to a beginner's mind, Chad treats art as a playground of self-discovery—an exercise in knowing who he is and what he loves in the present moment.Silence is central to Chad's art practice. He describes it as “the fullness of presence in the present moment,” a bedrock that awakens him most intensely. After painting, he often experiences a creative afterglow, where solitude and silence deepen his connection to Spirit. For Chad, the heart space is the seat of divine presence, and art becomes a spiritual pilgrimage that reveals the fullness of life.In conversation with CJ, Chad shares how he moved from using words to describe Spirit, to embodying Spirit directly through painting and presence. Together they explore the intersection of silence, movement, and art as pathways to awakening—reminding us that painting, like life, is most powerful when lived from the heart space.For more information on Chad, visit https://www.glazenerstudio.com/ or follow. him on Instagram at glazenerstudioWant to learn more about CJ Miller? Check out his Spiritual Artist Retreats, 1:1 Personal Coaching, and Speaking Engagements at www.spiritualartisttoday.com.

Have questions or comments about this (or a previous) episode, give us a text!In this episode Dennis continues teaching through the book of Romans.

Send us a textIn this episode of Viewpoints, Pastor John Gerlach and Jordan Voyles dive into the powerful call from Ephesians 5:14: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”Are we truly awake in Christ, or just sleepwalking through our spiritual lives? John and Jordan unpack what it means to live fully alive in the light of Christ, how to recognize spiritual sleepwalking, and the importance of surrounding yourself with a community that can keep you accountable and encouraged. This conversation challenges us to examine our own hearts: Are we just going through the motions, or are we living awake to all that God has for us?
