Stop Making Christian Art?
from Westminster Effects Doxology Podcast Hosted by Westminster Effects
In this episode, Cody and Bradley ask a deceptively simple question: Should there even be such a thing as “Christian art” or a “Christian music industry”? Using recent comments from Islander frontman Mikey Carvajal as a starting point, they discuss the difference between a Christian making art and art that is explicitly Christian, the problems that come with turning faith into a marketing category, and whether the answer is to abandon the label altogether. Along the way, they talk about Christian music as both ministry and industry, the danger of using “Christian” as an excuse for mediocre work, the biblical place of explicitly faith-filled art, and what it looks like for Christians to glorify God through craftsmanship, music, business, and vocation. The question isn’t whether every Christian artist needs to make “Christian art.” It’s whether Christians can make excellent work without either hiding their faith or turning it into a brand.
