118 - How Faith Constructs Culture | Danny Fitzpatrick

Always Hope

Joining me on the show today is Danny Fitzpatrick, Editor of the Joie de Vivre Journal, to talk about the intertangled relationship between faith, tradition, art, and culture. We discuss how culture is an embodied religion, the importance of traditions, and the necessity of the creative process to move culture forward. We examine our modern fragmented culture, ask “who is pop culture worshiping?”, and proclaim the need to reclaim art as a contemplation exercise not just a consumer one. Danny also shares about the work they are doing at St. Louis IX Art Society promoting religious art in Southern Louisiana.
