How can we remain faithful to the message God gives us as we practice our craft? Learn more on this episode with Amy Baik Lee, member artist of The Anselm Society and a founding member of The Cultivating Project, and host Kristy Lahoda as they discuss artist Asher Lev, in the novel My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok. Asher learns that through his hands he has the power for both good and evil. Through the suffering he experiences, he grows in fidelity, empathy, and love by remaining steeped in his art and Hasidic faith tradition and maintaining a connection to his community. We, too, can grow in these virtues as we remain steeped in our Christian faith tradition and connected to our community, enabling us to do the work the Lord has given us to do. We can express suffering with a resonant note of hope because Jesus holds it all in his perfect love.
