ILLUMINATE
With Daniel Henderson, the craic is always 90. That's Irish for "pretty great." Over the last few years, Daniel has become one of my closest friends. Legend has it he won the Irish Brewer's Cup & competed on the worldwide stage in Melbourne for World's Best Cup of coffee. He does make a pretty mean cup. A year later, that would lead Daniel set out with his friends to open up a cafe in Northern Ireland called "Lost & Found".

ILLUMINATE
Instrumental music moves me more than any other art form. It's always been my dream to work with composers & orchestras to create immersive environments that fuel the imagination.
info_outlineFew have explored the intersection of art & faith like David Taylor, a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary & the Brehm Center for the Arts. David is the perfect blend of artist & pastor, and his thoughtful perspective on liturgical art is a true gift for the Church these days.
David has edited & authored books such as “For the Beauty of the Church”, “Contemporary Art & the Church”, & most recently, “The Theatre of God’s Glory”. In each book, he casts a vision for the arts, helping the Church develop a broader & deeper language for the role creativity plays in our faith. Much of which is shared on this episode.
