What does it look like to do theology through art? Art has a way of connecting us to God in a way that is experiential and filled with stories, practices, and emotions. Art invites us to deepen our understanding of God, ourselves, and our world. We are excited to get to know various artists through this series and share their work with you! 

In this episode, we feature a conversation with Arthur Aghajanian. Arthur shares about the connection between theology and art, finding God in the silence, and ways we can use images in our spiritual practice.
