Did you know that the Bible devotes more space to the work and ministry of an artist than it does to Noah, Samson, Ruth, or Jonah?
Did you know that the Bible uses the word “artisan” over 26 times?
Did you know that the Bible says God would raise up an army of artists at the end of the age, and that their work would continue after the Second Coming of Christ?
If you want to know more about these questions and more about God’s plan for art and creativity you won’t want to miss hearing the teaching ministry of Christ John Otto.
Otto’s teaching is aimed at artists and creative people who sense a call from God to help build a throne for Jesus in the earth.
Topics include:
How to study the Bible for artists.
What it means to be the Image of God.
The roots of the Protestant rejection of the arts.
Understanding grace.
Overcoming fear.
How to listen to God.
How the Bible issues an amazing call for artists in this day and age.
Our sessions are geared toward all who are creative, whatever your medium, but will be especially helpful for those who feel their primary vocation is in the creative realm.
BIO
In 2006, Christ “rhymes with wrist” John Otto was called by God to begin writing, leading worship, and hanging out in a local coffee shop.
His adventure, and the people who joined him, eventually took the name Belonging House. Today after lots of coffee, 6 books, and thousands of emails, Belonging House has become an international “house” for creative culture shapers. Through it all he has learned to be a son, and bring others into a relationship with God.
Christ Otto holds degrees from Houghton College and Asbury Theological Seminary. Since 1986 he has worked in a variety of media as a freelance artist including decoupage, faux finishing, mural work, sign painting, commercial and retail design, and pastry. He is a classically trained tenor and vocal coach.
Belonging House does not raise support. We do pray and share our needs with those who are in our inner circle of intercessors. God has been very faithful, and has supplied over 500 rolls of toilet paper in the past 11 years!
