S ING ! G LOBAL C ON V E RSAT IO NS A series of vital interviews with thought leaders in the arts, music, and Christian culture JOHN MACARTHUR – The Deity of Christ in a Pluralistic Age Our age is defined by pluralism, relativism, and a rejection of truth. No wonder many believers struggle to understand and articulate the deity of Christ in conversations with friends, family, and neighbors. Yet we need not lose confidence: the Word of God equips us to take a bold stand for proclaiming and singing of Christ alone as the only hope for a lost world. This vital conversation will be invaluable to anyone seeking to share their faith with those who have challenging questions at this unique cultural moment. John MacArthur is the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, as well as an author, conference speaker, chancellor of The Master’s University and Seminary, and featured teacher with the Grace to You media ministry.

KAREN PENCE – In Christ Alone: Personal Reflections on Christianity, Culture, and Arts Education Karen Pence, as former Second Lady of the United States, holds a unique vantage point into culture both here in America and around the world through her service alongside former Vice President Mike Pence. Kristyn and Keith first met Karen and Mike just before Mike became Governor of Indiana, and they have always been inspired by the Pences’ love for the Lord as well as Karen’s passion for art therapy, creativity, and the power of beauty... and of course the fact that they’re Irish! In this conversation, we hear Karen’s reflections on the role of the arts for believers and society at large. Karen Pence, wife of Vice President Mike Pence, is a mother, educator, and award-winning watercolor artist. As Second Lady of the United States, Mrs. Pence worked to bring attention to art therapy and to the sacrifices made by military service members and their families. Mrs. Pence dedicated 25 years in the classroom as an elementary school teacher before becoming the First Lady of Indiana in 2013. As Second Lady of the United States, Mrs. Pence committed to raising awareness and educating the public about the mental health profession of art therapy in the United States and around the world. In October 2017, Mrs. Pence launched her art therapy initiative, Healing with the HeART. Mrs. Pence and Vice President Mike Pence have been married since 1985 and are proud parents of three adult children.
