Ned Bustard on Facilitating the Arts and Faith Conversation

Welcome to Beauty through Faith, a podcast brought to you by the Kalos Arts Foundation. I'm your host, Benjamin Harding, and I am so glad you're joining us today.In this episode, I had the joy of sitting down with Ned Bustard—an influential voice in the conversation around faith and the arts within the evangelical and Protestant world. Ned has been shaping this space for decades, most notably through his publishing house, Square Halo Books, which continues to release thoughtful and inspiring works.One book I'm especially enjoying right now is Lifting the Veil: Imagination and the Kingdom of God by Malcolm Guite—published exclusively by Square Halo. It's a rich and imaginative read that I highly recommend.But Ned’s contributions go far beyond publishing—he’s also a gifted visual artist. Many of you may know his work from the beloved Every Moment Holy series by Rabbit Room Press, which is one of my personal favorites.It was truly a blessing to have this conversation with someone who has so deeply impacted the world of faith and creativity. I hope you find it as encouraging and insightful as I did.As always, you’ll find links and more details in the show notes.
