Fear Not God Can Be Trusted: Christ John Otto

Creatively Christian - Interviews with Faithful Artists

Artist and author Christ John Otto is on the Creatively Christian podcast, interviewed by Rachel Oxborough. Christ describes the importance of struggling as an artist and shares his advice to never take advice. He also dives into an important theme in his theology of art: trusting in God and living without fear.
Christ (rhymes with "wrist") John Otto directs Belonging House, an international hub for artists which aims to build Jesus a throne on earth. He has published ten books for artists. Originally in pastoral ministry, he eventually found his calling as a full-time artist and encourager of Christian creatives.
