We don't need to be experts in each artist's medium. We simply need to be curious and demonstrate that we believe what artists are doing is important—to call their creative risks "good" just as the Creator blessed his own handiwork in the first seven days—and to bless that work by giving it our attention and sharing in it. If Christians should excel at anything, it is sharing with each other deeply.
