Welcome to another episode of Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. Today, we delve into a profound conversation with our guest, Bette Dickinson, a prophetic artist, speaker, and author of "Making Room in Advent." Join us as we explore the transformative role of women in the church, drawing insight from biblical figures like Mary and Elizabeth.

Bette shares how her journey of integrating her artistic and leadership talents has deepened her spiritual connection and illuminated critical perspectives on the kingdom of God. She and Michael discuss the ancient practice of visio divina, allowing listeners to engage spiritually with art, and reveal how Bette’s creative process serves as a metaphor for spiritual formation.

With candid reflections on the challenges women face in ministry, Bette provides a powerful testament to the importance of marginalized voices within religious spaces. They also touch upon her unique experience in ministry and seminary, the tensions between her Enneagram gifts, and how the rhythms of contemplation and creation shape her calling.
