"My" Art in Light of His Heart: Disciple-making, Culture and the Arts

William "Duce" Branch - Moses’ staff, David’s sling and the disciples’ nets were all common tools of their particular trades. When they encountered the God who claims people, these tools became His means of His glory and the advance of His kingdom. Disciple-making is the current overarching agenda of the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will use the common cultural and artistic tools of the day for disciple-making purposes. This session will explore the intersection of the heart of God for disciple-making with culture and the arts in hopes of reinforcing a commitment to disciple-making in one’s cultural context and through artistic platforms. We will advocate artistic fervor anchored in gospel fidelity.
