Where Art Meets Ministry: an Interview with Eric Schumacher
57m · PublishedElisa Lambert Interview: Worldbuilding
53m · PublishedYou cannot have a story without a setting. Whether it's New England or some planet on the other side of the galaxy, a story needs to happen somewhere. Some stories take place within a single apartment, or on a single park bench. But some stories add details to the setting – sometimes a lot of details. This whole process is called worldbuilding, an essential part of much of storytelling. What can worldbuilding add to a story? What happens when it is done well? What about when it is not done well? The Believe to See cohosts invite Elisa Lambert, the Anselm Arts Guild's resident worldbuilding expert, to discuss worldbuilding.
Wordless Picture Books
53m · PublishedWe all know the powers of words, written and spoken. We know that they contain a power so immense that God himself refers to himself as the Word in scripture. But, images speak too - very, very powerfully. This is why small children’s literature most often includes illustrations alongside text. Together, these two powerful methods of learning ignite the imagination of children in extraordinary ways. So, what should we do with the now-very-popular wordless picture books? Why should we invest in wordless picture books? Is it a waste of time, talents, and resources? Christina, Matt, and Mandy sit down to discuss.
