Today's creatives are navigating new challenges as they balance their faith with their artistic calling in a rapidly changing cultural landscape, the erratic impact of AI technology, and the uncertainty of career opportunities. Through various media, such as music, visual arts, filmmaking, and digital content, they must adapt their methods to communicate Truth and a Biblical worldview effectively. By exploring new media and engaging diverse audiences, they aim to resonate meaningfully while ensuring their work shines Light in dark places and changes culture.
