Show 20 - Dancing & One50 Dance (with Alaina Frost)

Greetings friends! Well, what an opportunity and privilege it was to speak with Alaina Frost from One50 Dance for episode 20! We hope you love the show this week!
We cover God and dance, the Bible and dance, the organisation One50 Dance, and even touch on some famous dancers too. Also explored is creativity around dance, and how we can all dance before the Lord, just as David did. What a celebration it is to serve God in such diverse ways across the Arts! 
Below are some links about One50 Dance, as well as a link to their public fund (this gets mentioned too in the show). Can you support them? Here's one way you can!

Show 19 - So You Wanna Make a Podcast! (with AOM)

YES! We are back in 2024 and guess what... so many people have asked advice about how to create a podcast. So instead of continuing to give ideas and replies, why not create a whole episode full of advice about all aspects of podcasting? 
If you want to make a podcast, look no further! We discuss ideas, tools, equipment, software, hardware, communication dynamics, passion for topic, prayer and more! If you've wanted to know how to use multimedia and create a podcast, it's all here. 
Thank you again so much for your continued support - bring on 2024! Let's explore sharing the Gospel through the arts together! God bless and take care, Jon (The Art of Ministry)

Show 18 - The Thank You Show!

Lochy and I have been so thankful for this year. We have a long list of thank yous! 
We appreciate you all and can't wait to catch up with you again in 2024. 
All of God's blessings, The Art of Ministry (Lochy & Jon)

Show 17 - Navy Jones (Singer & Songwriter)

Merry Christmas to you! It's nearly New Years, and we have a wonderful guest to cap off a big year for The Art of Ministry Podcast. We have Navy Jones - a singer/songwriter who shares God's love through song. His voice, I think you'll agree, is a wonderful gift from the Lord, as is his playing. And our chat went through a huge range of topics, from his testimony, performing music live, GK Chesterton, studio recording, and ultimately thinking on Jesus. It's a musical feast! We hope you enjoy the show!

Show 16 - Sharing Jesus through the arts in YOUR city!

Introducing the Cafe, a virtual place where Lochy and I sit and discuss big issues!
Today, it's how you can share Jesus through the arts in YOUR city! That's right, YOU could have a major role in doing this! This episode hopes to inspire everyone to think through the possibilities for sharing about Jesus in artistic ways. 
We take an in-depth look at what we loved from our childhood to adulthood. Then, we look at what might be our three (3) biggest ideas we'd like to see implemented. These range from murals, to theatre, to all sorts of artistic expressions. 
Maybe a particular idea is just right for your own context. As we all prayerfully consider possibilities, there might even be ways we can explore expanding the Cafe concept for wider interactivity, so we can all share together!
We welcome you to comment on the socials, on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086543790081 
Blessings, the AOM Crew :)

Poetry! Such a beautiful art form. Well, today we are in for a treat, with poet Claire Watson taking the guest seat and sharing all about God, poetry slams, writing poetry across different styles and genres, inspiration, and all sort of interesting stuff.

Show 14 - Performing Live (with JM@C)

Happy October! How are you? Hope you are well and all's good. This episode we discuss 'live performance'! And today's guest is... ME! :D Haha, anyway, we delve into (1) pre-'going live' advice from Len & Pete, (2) biblical ways of preparing for live performance, and (3) things to think through before preparing a setlist and getting ready to perform. As always - thanks for your support and comments online, we love your feedback. There's more fun to come, and plenty to chat about in this episode... let's go! 

Show 13 - Lochy’s Artistic Journey! (Lochy Cupit)

Greetings friends! In this 2nd part of our two episode series on personal artistic journeys, Lochy shares his own artistic journey! It's an exciting adventure across multiple artistic and ministry endeavours and... ahem, no spoilers here, we'll let you find out for yourselves! :) Happy listening. 

Show 12 - My Artistic Journey (Jonathan ’JM@C’ McQueen)

Finding out you have a 1 in 40000 vision issue... accidentally offending someone with a cartoon (I didn't mean to!)... subjecting oneself to 'Double Art' in High School - and loving it! The wonderful Technics KN-930 Keyboard, with floppy disk (!) ... and aiming to glorify God through the Arts! Today I'm sharing my artistic journey, talking about the power of prayer (we have a mighty God), cartooning and technology, graphic novels, song production and music videos. I hope it's an encouraging listen. Thanks as always for your support. We appreciate you! 

Show 11 - The Mark Drama (with Thorin and Rebekah)
