A Universe Away and Burning—The Life and Art of Thomas Kinkade (Russ Ramsey)
A Universe Away and Burning—The Life and Art of Thomas KinkadeRuss Ramsey Thomas Kinkade (1958-2012) wanted to present a more perfect world, and who doesn’t want that? But what if the brilliant light in his windows shone as it did because the house was, in fact, on fire. Wouldn’t we want the maker of that world to tell us that before we opened the door behind which the flames danced? It seems we would not. The truth of history tells us we would rather turn that world into a multi-million-dollar empire of comfort, suggesting it somehow represents the heart of Christian faith—a world that has no real need of a savior. Come hear the story as we ask the ever-important question: What have we done?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Creating out of the Dark: Artists and Mental Health (Joe Sutphin, Bailey McGee, Gina Sutphin, Jamin Still, Kyra Hinton))
Creating out of the Dark: Artists and Mental Health (Joe Sutphin, Bailey McGee, Gina Sutphin, Jamin Still, Kyra Hinton) Some artists thrive in the midst of trouble, creating powerful, emotionally-driven works. But to others, the darkness stifles creativity, leaving them in a state of artistic limbo. In this session, five artists will talk together about the struggles and triumphs of making something new even when the dark is all you can see. Over the course of the discussion, art will be made, then lost to the dark. Together, the group will navigate where to go from there.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Practice of Devotion: How Devotional Songs and Poetry Enrich Our Spiritual Lives
The Rabbit Room presents this session from Hutchmoot 2024: The Practice of Devotion: How Devotional Songs and Poetry Enrich Our Spiritual Lives (Jon Guerra) The quality of corporate worship transcends music, instruments, and lyrics. It is a spiritual dimension measured only by God, linked to our personal intimacy with Him. Devotional songs and poetry, like the Psalms, are meant to shape and enrich our hearts. Just as “with the same mouth comes blessing and cursing,” a regular engagement with devotional content between Sundays can profoundly enhance the quality of our worship when we gather together.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We call Hutchmoot a “conference for everyone,” so it follows that this is a “podcast for everyone.” This series features sessions recorded at the Rabbit Room’s annual conference which celebrates art, music, story, and faith in all their many intersections.
