Christians often have an uneasy relationship with the arts. Some of us see the two as being wholly separate, as if one should not influence the other. Others tend to view art as being most valid or appropriate if it’s explicit in proclaiming our faith. But what is the relationship between faith and art? What can happen if we have an imbalanced view of how they interact with one another? And how does this all work together with our identity in Christ?
Singer, songwriter and author Andrew Peterson joins Brian and Aaron in the studio to discuss this topic on today’s episode of The Hero of the Story.

Hi, Jeff. Andrew does not monitor this site, and I am not sure if he was on that radio station, but he does have The Wingfeather Saga. I believe that is what you are describing.
