What makes Christian art cringy vs. compelling? Briley Crisafi joins us on this episode for a conversation on making art from a Christian worldview. No matter what kind of art she's making, Briley centers herself on storytelling - from songwriting, to choreography, to acting, to production. Briley is an Unbound alum, and has gone onto use her talents in a professional capacity in musical theater and creative writing. We unpack some compelling ideas about how Christians should portray sin and darkness in their arts, how wordless art forms like choreography can communicate the gospel, and storytelling's effect on us beyond our emotions.
