    Can artists laugh at themselves? Sadly not often. It’s what turns people off most to the artistic community: pretentiousness. We have to stop thinking we’re “above it all” and the arrogance that comes with it. Matt talks about the need for us to be self-effacing without being self-defeating.Theme Music:“Stick to the Plan,” written by Adrian Dominic Walther and performed by Dr. DelightAd Music:“Outside the Lines,” written by Aaron Sprinkle and performed by Lone CanyonBumper Music:“Space Child,” written by Dustin Ransom performed by Cast of CharactersAudio Clips:“Billy Crystal’s Opening Monologue 1993 Oscars,” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF6fpn8Ts68)“The Opening of the Academy Awards 1984 Oscars,” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kl_2MO8D6Y)“The Opening of the Academy Awards in 1970,” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEnAY6tqSBA)

We need to shift our thinking in order to become storytellers who reflect the reality of life and the redemptive qualities of Jesus.Other Music Used:“Roman’s Candle,” written and performed by Sam Barsh.
