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.

Wise-Hearted Ones: Building a Purposeful World Through Art with Dr. Elise Edwards
"The arts are essential; they transform us, allowing access to superpowers we can't reach through linear processes or rational thinking. It's part of God's design for what it means to be human."
In this episode, Lisa and her guest, Christian Ethicist and architect, Dr. Elise Edwards, delve into the profound impact art and aesthetics have on our lives. Exploring the biblical narrative of Exodus, they discuss how art plays a pivotal role in shaping environments, influencing behavior, and connecting us to a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Read Dr. Edwards' forthcoming book: Architecture, Theology, and Ethics: Making Architectural Design More Just.

the Tabernacle construction and its artistry is a beautiful story of God

draw us closer to Him.Get Jennifer’s book: https://www.amazon.com/Placemaking-Arts-Cultivating-Christian-Theology/dp/0830850678

"The most creative people in the world should be those that are empowered by a Spirit beyond our understanding. And yet, the least creativity, the least “good reframing,” is happening by followers of Jesus."
In this episode, Lisa dives deep with Mark Nelson of 100 Movements Publishing, and co- author of the book, Reframation: Seeing God, People, and Mission through Re-enchanted Frames. Mark sounds the alarm on our "crisis of interpretation" and the essential Christian task of becoming better storytellers.

What if being an artist of faith is more about WHO YOU ARE and HOW you create than WHAT you make? Too many Christians in the arts are living in a no-win situation. They’re serious about their work, committed in their faith – but feeling disjointed and disconnected.
In part three of this series, we’ll consider how to integrate the many pieces of you through the three-fold way of calling. And find clarity, confidence, and freedom to truly become who we were created to be, make what we were created to make and do what we were created to do.

What's worse than making the biggest mistake of your career? Doing nothing.
Do you ever feel paralyzed by the fear of getting it wrong? Funny enough, in our art making, we know mistakes are just part of the process. So why can't we trust that when it comes to our sense of call? We want to get it right. We want to discern the signs and hear the voice from Heaven that says, "Yes, that's the path." But that's just not how it works. In this episode of Be.Make.Do. Lisa tackles "mistakes." And the funny conundrum that, you can't actually fail by making a mistake. And you can't succeed if you don't.
