In this episode, Lisa talks with Erik Løkkesmoe, former VP Outback Presents, in Nashville, TN. They ponder artistic motivations, isolation, common grace, and the Imaginative Visionary Archetype. Erik shares from his years of experience working in the arts and entertainment industry from LA to Nashville.
"...We think we're bigger than we are. We think we have a greater influence. And it's helpful to know that no one's thinking about us right now. We're not on the minds of 1000s or millions of people...the smallness is helpful in that it gives you a sense of significance in the small things...the daily habits of doing. The things that are small and never seen are truly art and do contribute in great ways...." Erik Løkkesmoe

In this special episode from the vault, Lisa shares an intimate reflection on George Michael's prophetic song, Praying for Time. Originally recorded 6 years ago (before there even was a Be. Make. Do podcast!), it's shocking to hear how timely and relevant this episode still is. Listen in on the very first time Lisa ever outlined her thoughts on prophetic critics and imaginative visionaries. All inspired by that guy in the short-shorts from Wham!

For so long art created by Christians has been limited to art for use in church. But have we as believers, especially in the West, undermined God’s true plan and responsibility for artists by keeping the scope of their creativity too narrow?
In this final episode of Wise-Hearted Ones series, Lisa dives into what is the “ministry of imagination” and how we as artists can be encouraged that God has called us to shape culture and point the world back to Him, our creator and sustainer.

The construction of golden calf is one of the most commonly known Exodus stories.
Though God had delivered them Egypt, hunger, and thirst, the Israelites chose to place their trust in an idol of their own haphazard making. It’s no accident that this story is told between the calling of the Wise-Hearted Ones and the execution of their work.
How does art rooted in idolatry differ from God’s design? How does our heart going into the work, and our manner of execution, impact the art we end up making? Host Lisa Smith compares and contrasts these two commissions in this new episode of Be. Make. Do.Download the free Wise-Hearted Ones Study Guide

Wise-Hearted Ones: 3 Frameworks to Survive and Thrive As An Artist
Creatives talk a lot about artistic craft, but what about soul craft? How is our work connected to the larger rhythms of our spiritual lives?
As we see in the Exodus story of the Wise-Hearted Ones, God bestows not only creative knowledge and skill, but frameworks of support to sustain both work and spirit. What are these frameworks and how can we cultivate them? How might they make us better artists and leaders? Lisa Smith breaks down how spiritual formation and community engagement are integral to our creative growth.

Wise-Hearted Ones: Shedding the False Dichotomy with Marlita Hill
As Christian artists, it’s easy to see our artistic practices as separate from our personal faith. How can we begin to integrate our mediums with our ministry? Are these parts of ourselves so separate after all?
Joining Lisa this week is Marlita Hill, a choreographer, multi-published author, and 20+ year educator who serves an international audience in the intersection of faith, art, and entrepreneurship. Marlita is the founder of the Kingdom Artist Institute (KAI), a discipleship program for Christian artists building art careers in the marketplace.
In this conversation, Lisa and Marlita dive deeper into what it means to be wise-hearted, how to wait on God’s timing, and why it doesn’t really matter whether you bloom late or bloom early.
Connect with Marlita via the KAI mailing list and on Instagram at @iammarlitahill. Also, check out her blog and podcast, The Kingdom Art Life.

An Artist Ordained with Lisa Smith
What if HOW we create is just as important as WHAT we create due to this divine call? Artists selected by God have a high calling — one that requires everything be surrendered to the Maker. Continuing the Wise-Hearted Ones series, Lisa Smith dives into the artistic giftings God gave to master artisans when he ordained them to create the Tabernacle. Take time to consider this self-sacrificial call, filled with joy, freedom, and efficacy, and ponder what that means for us as we seek to bring to life the gifts the Spirit of God has filled us with.

Wise-Hearted Ones: Called By Name. Called By Heart. with Lisa Smith
What does “wise-hearted” even mean? In this episode, podcast host Lisa Smith unravels a story of divine, artistic collaboration. An unlikely group of craftsmen, wandering the arid desert, are called by name, by God, to build Him a dwelling place called the Tabernacle. The Exodus account details how God specifically calls artists to make use of aesthetics, which make divine messages more tangible. The term “wise-hearted” signifies deep wisdom and skill, and emphasizes the spiritual depth in which artists work. The Tabernacle story dispels myths about artists’ societal role and showcases God’s intention for them to serve as makers.
