A Call For Balladeers

Description

The art we consume changes the way we think, so where are the artists who speak Godly truth through their art, the balladeers that disciple the nations through their respective mediums?

We need a new generation of balladeers. Culture is upstream from economics, politics and society. Who shapes culture more than anyone else? It is the artists, those who consciously create or critique culture with their art. These people may be called modern-day balladeers. You may be wondering, “What is a balladeer?” Balladeers are gifted Christian artists who have learned to understand and apply the biblical worldview to their life and work, thus bringing truth, beauty, and goodness to bear on the culture surrounding them. Our world desperately needs them now more than ever. They are singers and songwriters, playwrights and filmmakers, writers and poets, painters and sculptors, choreographers and composers, architects and fashion designers. From these gifted artists we must call forth a movement of modern-day balladeers.
