124. Creativity is the Door to Spiritual Expression: David Chang

The Jesus Storybook Bible Podcast

In this beautiful world where we’re all made so differently, with unique gifts and strengths, we have a remarkable opportunity to appreciate one another’s creativity in whatever form it may take. David Chang unexpectedly found the art form of calligraphy, and after spending time in a church attic studying, developing, and perfecting his craft, realized that he could use his art as a form of spiritual expression and witness.
