The Calling of a Christian Artist in the Media

In Part 4, Dr. Darrell Bock and Dr. Reg Grant discuss ways that Christian artists can follow Jesus' example and effectively engage the culture in the public square and at home. They also talk about ways to reveal the character of Christ in everyday situations. How does one create art that invites the question, "How should we become better people?"
