Artist Spotlight:

Daulton Reese - Author of My Story

What often holds Christians back in storytelling are self-imposed limits of what we think is morally acceptable for church audiences. However a simple reading of the Bible itself disproves that. We need to shift our thinking in order to become storytellers who reflect the reality of life and the redemptive qualities of Jesus.

Other Music Used:

“Roman’s Candle,” written and performed by Sam Barsh.

This episode originally aired November 15, 2022.

The life of Rembrandt shows one of self-reflection (and maybe obsession) that brought about some of the best art in Western history.
