Learning to See as Christians: Art, Imagination, and Discipleship
In this five-session Disciple-making course, we'll explore the relationship between art and Christian discipleship, considering how beauty, creativity, and imagination can deepen our faith, cultivate our attention, and help us learn to see God's world more fully.
