    <description>What does it mean to bear the spark of the Creator in a fractured world? 

Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s classic work, Letters to a Young Poet, this podcast offers a quiet porch hang for emerging artists to sit with the burning questions and creative unrest that can shape the artistic life. In each episode, a young artist brings their vulnerable questions to a seasoned creative mentor a bit further down the road. Grounded in the deep roots of the Christian faith and the rich lineage of great minds who came before us, these conversations dive into what it actually takes to make good work, find your people, and stay faithful.
