- On January 29, 2021 in partnership with The Rabbit Room and the Windrider Institute we were delighted to host artist, author, and senior fellow Mako Fujimura for a conversation around his brand new book, Art + Faith: A Theology of Making. Mako believes that in the act of making we are able to know and experience the depth of God's being and grace.
Mako says, "I now consider what I do in the studio to be theological work as much as aesthetic work. I experience God, my Maker, in the studio. I am immersed in the art of creating, and I have come to understand this dimension of life as the most profound way of grasping human experience and the nature of our existence in the world. I call it the "Theology of Making."
We hope you enjoy this conversation exploring the theological work of creating.

Mako has become one of my favorite people on the planet- such a profound thinker, deeply rooted in and fueled by the love of Jesus. His art, his words, the way he pours out his life, all testimony to the good and beautiful God. 💕
I'm so glad God led me to watch this today.
The world needs to understand this message of love and healing------through art and beauty------we can repair our broken world.
Whole conversation was fire 🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful🙌🙏
Love!
It is so liberating and inspiring to listen to Mako. I sometimes get tears in my eyes out of greatfulness for this excuisite gift to the body of Christ. When I llisten to him and look at his art, it is as if it is too good to be true. The place where beauty and truth meet, a reconciliation between art and theology, a sensere and humble heart to serve the Creator, while being a great creator himself. This is so rare in our times! A great example and inspiration for all the somewhat crippled and disoriented artists in the body of Christ.
Thank you!
