The Heart of the Artist

with Dr. Lloyd Arnett

The world often seems challenged to understand the personality and purpose of the artist. At times, artists seem reserved or aloof, awkward and introverted, yet are able to communicate strongly through their incredible artistry. So what makes an artist tick? What kinds of people does God call to be artists in the world? How are they endowed to fulfill their purpose? What should they know about their gifting and emotional make-up in the world they inhabit? This chat promises to be a soul-searching journey sure to inform and inspire.
