Studying Fine Arts From a Biblical Perspective With Sandy Yang

It seems as if the left has stolen the arts, but just like the rainbow, the arts were God’s idea. But why do fine arts matter to Christians, why is it critical for our children to study them, and most importantly–why are they a valuable alternative to pop culture entertainment? Sandy Yang is here from Cedarville University to share what art really is and how important it is to study it from a Biblical perspective. I loved this discussion, and I know you will, too!

Thank you to Cedarville University for sponsoring our show today. Accept the challenge of living boldly and learning purposely! Cedarville.edu
