Art & Faith Conversations

Barnabas Piper joins us on the show to talk about his most recent book, The Curious Christian. We talk in depth about why curiosity is vital to our relationship with God and growing in our faith. We also discuss how necessary curiosity is to connect with others who are different than us. The more curious we are, the more we discover others' needs and therefore can reflect God when we see how we can care for others and serve them. As well as being a writer, Barnabas is a speaker and co-host of The Happy Rant podcast.

Salt of the Sound is made up of husband and wife, Ben and Anita Tatlow. Anita joined us to talk about their music and the niche they've found in ambient music to create soundscapes for prayer and reflection. Ambient music is described as atmospheric vs traditional musical structures or rhythms. Anita shares about how their music allows for questions and conversations about what others traditionally think "christian music" is.

Salt of the Sound describe themselves as "peace in audio form." Their latest album titled, "In Prayer" is a 17 min journey through meditation and reflection and is paired with a video compiled of clips listeners sent in from all over the world of places they considered to be prayerful.

They also create under a second project name called Narrow Skies which focuses more on seasons and nature and providing a soundscape with that focus.

You can find their music on digital stores including Spotify, iTunes and YouTube where you can also find their lyric videos.

Guest, Karla Adolphe, from the music duo Enter the Worship Circle, joins us to talk about the heart behind her and Ben Pasley's music and creativity. They consider themselves modern day Psalmists in which they find ways to respond with creativity to life's challenges as the book of Psalms demonstrates. They describe their music as setting a table for others to engage with God, each other and themselves.
