Steve Scott on the Missional Purpose of Art (pt 1)

Artist, author, poet, and pastor, Steve Scott, delivers a critical challenge to the question: “Why should art matter to everyone?” Scott has been producing rich, soulful art in a variety of media for over 50 years. He is an international speaker on the subject of Sacred Art and even served as the “Arts Editor” during the print magazine days of True Tunes in the 90s. This short episode delivers a soul-thumping vision of the missional purpose of art. In Part 2 we’ll hear about Scott’s growing conviction that the Gospel of John is itself both an example of, and a promotion of, cultural critique from a theological perspective.   This episode features a clip of Scott’s 80s new wave song “Love In The Western World.” Full show notes are available at TrueTunes.com/SteveScott1 and more information about Steve can be found on his blog site: Crying For A Vision.   The True Tunes Podcast is sponsored by VisionTrust.org.

Let’s try.
