In our fifth episode “Ex Nihilo,” we meditate on John 1:1-13. At Christmastide, the followers of Jesus Christ focus their attention to his birth. The Lord's Word and Light became flesh and dwelt among us who lived in a world marked by darkness and void.  His light continues to shine, reflected by his creatives as we engage in Holy Spirit-led creativity. 

United Adoration's "A Place of Beauty Podcast" is a 21-week series to complement our devotional, "A Place of Beauty." Every Monday, from Advent to Easter, we invite artists (and non-artists) to meditate on Scripture and to consider their identity, struggles, and creative process in the light of the True Creator, the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  To purchase the devotional, visit Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
