005 - Exploring the artistic process, AI art, masculine stereotypes and rites of passage w/ master penman JAKE WEIDMANN

In this episode we enter the grayzone and ask about the difference between art created for God's glory versus our own gratification. We break down the artistic process and the act of worship that artistic creation really is. We also explore the confining stereotypes of masculinity in relation to artistic expression and even talk about rites of passage. My guest, Jake Weidmann is a professional artist and certified as one of nine Master Penman in the world. Jake is self-taught in each of his disciplines (calligraphy, painting, drawing, woodworking, and engraving).His new book, Old Soul, New Creation features ten of Jake's creations, along with in-progress photographs and stories of the artistic and spiritual struggle behind each. Thisstunning book is ultimately a story of God's goodness, His faithfulness, and His loving calling--all of which you can experience when you embrace the talentsGod gives you.Old Soul, New Creation Website:         https://www.jakeweidmann.com/                        https://www.artistandmasterpenman.com/Facebook:       https://www.facebook.com/jakeweidmannInstagram:      https://www.instagram.com/jakeweidmannYouTube:        https://www.youtube.com/@JakeWeidmannArtistPodcast:          https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/made-to-last/id1793476400
