393 - How God Brings People Together For His Glory with Janalyn Arnold & Henny Koonstra

Send us a text I believe God always puts people together for a reason. That sure seems to be the case with Janalyn Arnold and Henny Koonstra, my guests on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast. After different paths lead these two young artists to the same school, Jana and Henny are on the cusp of graduating from the art program at Redeemer University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. And they are going out with a bang. They’ve combined their two Senior Exhibition Shows - “Distortion” and “Rhythms of Divinity” into one show called “Expose,” which highlights the juxtaposition of the ugly nature of pornography and the beautiful nature of the heart of God. Their artistic visions and expressions make a powerful, challenging experience that could only be accomplished by two artists who love the Lord and trust in His guidance. And in this episode of the podcast they tell you all about how their lives have led them to this moment. I hope you’ll listen to their inspiring story! You can check out both of these artists on Instagram, and if you’re interested in learning more about the Redeemer University Art Program, we have that address for you as well.
