Whether you consider yourself artistic or not, have you ever thought of your creativity and vocation as a form of service, even as hospitality? Today we get the pleasure of talking with Dirk Dallas about our calling as Christians and image-bearers, to co-create with God, to make culture, and serve those around us to His glory.
Dirk is a nationally recognized designer, photographer, professor, author, and recently named Dean of the College of Architecture Visual Art and Design at Cal Baptist University. Even amidst His 20+ years of industry experience and success, Dirk is one of the most humble servant leaders you will ever meet, and his influence on the lives of hundreds of students is invaluable. Both Bella and Kenzie have been recipients of his hospitality both in and outside the classroom.
We hope this conversation encourages you to use creativity, whether its in your career, your home, your church, your community, or all of the above, to serve others and glorify God.
