We are in a series where we are having conversations with artist from Regent around their artistic journey, how their faith intersects, and the work they have created.  Abby Boggs will be filling in for Claire Perini for this series as Abby has an expertise in art herself. 

This episode we had a conversation with a current student at Regent Daniel Du.  He shared with us his artistic journey and how his faith has impacted it.  He spoke to how  art speak to both the transcendent reality and the injustices that many experience?  Also, why it is art is so important for communication, especially in regards to controversial or misunderstood issues and ideas?  Lastly, we talked about the pressures that many artist feel in responding to every issue that gets raised in culture.    We hope you enjoy our conversation.

Feel free to view Daniel's art as well while you listen to the conversation. 

Also, if you haven't heard of it check out The Dal Schindell Gallery, which has many different art exhibitions throughout the year.

The Renegotiating Faith study found that faith formation in young adults has significantly changed.  Faith formation which once happened in an individuals teen years, is now happening significantly latter, happening in the early to mid-twenties.  Many young adults are questioning their faith, identities, and purpose. 

Act Five is an organization pioneered by Jon Berends that desires to journey along side young adults in an intentional way.   In a world that is formed by consumerism, digital technology, and individualism, Act Five hopes to offer a better way in Christ, through adventure, travel, service, learning, and mentorship.  We hope you enjoy this conversation.

Writing the history on anything is a large endeavour, but trying to do it in a thematic way is another challenge.  Dr. Brian Stanley recently wrote a book called Christianity in the Twentieth Century: A World History, which looks at both themes and case studies to tell the story of Christianity in the Twentieth Century.  We had a conversation about his book and themes he highlights throughout the century, such as nationalism, racism, genocide, as well as others.  We hope you enjoy the conversation. 

If this conversation peaked your interest Dr. Stanley will be joining us at Regent on October nineteen to share on "Shifting Pattern in the British and American Protestant Globalism in the 19th and 20th Centuries".   Find more information here.

The Blues and Jazz music  speak to the dissidence, lament, and longing that many experience.  This music is unique in the sense that it finds its roots in the atrocities of slavery and the freedom experienced after emancipation.  The Exodus story was also about a people enslaved and oppressed.  We had a wonderful and enlightening conversation with Dr. Mark Glanville about the intersection of Jazz music and the Exodus story.  This conversation took place in Mark's living room where he played the piano for us.  So we hope you enjoy he conversation and the jazz music.

Migration is a part of many peoples stories, including the refugee, the newcomer, and the foreigner.  It is also a part of the Biblical story, from Abraham to Joshua and even God as a migrant through Christ.  What might we learn from the experience of migration and how does God as a migrant impact our view of change?  We had a conversation with Dr. Charles Ringma about migration and also discussed Dr. Ringma's book, The Art of Healing Prayer: Bringing Christ's Wholeness to Broken People.
