Description

This series is sponsored by 10ofthose. Resources that point people to Jesus change lives.The title music is 'When There Are No Words' by Michael J Tinker. The closing song is 'Come Sit With Me' from the same album.Artwork by Jamin Still.In the final episode chatting to American artists (before we chat to some brits) I got on a call with Jamin Still, the painter who's artwork you can see on the front of this podcast and also my album of the same name. What makes Jamin a little more unique is not only his approach to painting (on to black canvas!) but also how he starts with a painting and then writes a story from that. We talk about why having children at the centre of his stories enables him to ask questions that perhaps adults have forgotten they can ask... And you get to hear Jamin read from one of his stories at the end of the episode.Support Jamin's kickstarter here.If you want to buy his artwork in the UK, get in touch with him here and you can buy the digital version and get it printed this side of the Atlantic!

Conversations with artists exploring grief and hope in their work.Following the release of Michael J Tinker's own album exploring loss and hope ('When There Are No Words' 2023) he decided to embark on this new podcast interviewing other artists who have looked at similar themes. Chatting to Christian authors, songwriters and visual artists Michael discusses what draws them to this difficult topic, how they navigate stewarding both their own story and other people's, and how they seek to honestly portray the Christian journey through this life to eternity. And despite (or maybe because of) the difficult subject, these are truly uplifting conversations.In the first series Michael interviews author Doug McKelvey ('Every Moment Holy'), author and songwriter Andrew Peterson (The Wingfeather Saga, 'Is He Worthy?', The Burning Edge of Dawn), painter Ally Gordon (Morphe Arts, 'Why Art Matters'), author Hannah Hess (Dark Star), songwriter Sara Groves (Floodplains), writer and artist Sophie Killingley ('Draw Near') and author and painter Jamin Still (who's candle image you can see on the album cover).There will be lots of book giveaways as well as special 10ofthose.com discount codes for listeners.This podcast is sponsored by 10ofthose. Their vision is to help everyone in the church to read books that excite them about Jesus and to give away books that point others to Him.  Help us make more episodes!
