Scott Erickson (also known as "Scott the Painter") joins the Coffee Break to share insights from his work and his book, Honest Advent. In this vibrant conversation, we explore the difference between "religious performance" and true spiritual awakening. Scott discusses how art can serve as a window to the sacred, helping us to see that God isn't just in the "holy" places, but is deeply present in the mundane, the difficult, and the ordinary moments of our parish life. We dive into what it means to live with an "honest" faith that isn't afraid of questions, but instead uses them to find a deeper sense of wonder and connection with our neighbors.

This preview is just the beginning of the story. If you’d like to watch the full hour-long conversation, we invite you to become a Parish Collective member and join us in supporting the work of neighborhoods everywhere.
