In this episode of the MakeReady Podcast, we sit down with Andrew Beck—creative leader, thinker, and cultural critic—to explore the intersection of art, truth, and leadership in a world that often confuses beauty with distraction.

Andrew shares his journey from Madison Avenue’s ad world to a deeper pursuit of meaning, unpacking how true creativity isn’t just aesthetics but a spiritual act meant to reflect the glory of God. From his love of history to his call for courageous leadership, he challenges men to discern the difference between art that uplifts and media that manipulates.

We talk about why Christians often settle for “safe” creativity instead of excellent art, how culture’s obsession with screens has distorted beauty, and why leadership isn’t about titles but sacrificial action. Andrew also paints a vision of what it means for men to embrace responsibility, take risks, and create with conviction in a culture starving for truth.

If you’ve ever questioned what makes something truly beautiful, wrestled with how faith and creativity fit together, or longed for stronger examples of godly leadership, this conversation will inspire you to pursue art, truth, and life with deeper purpose.
