What does Christian art have to do with how followers of Jesus should relate to the world? Dominic Jackson opens with the question he wrestled with as a young film student—why is so much Christian art so bad—and uses it

What does it look like to follow Jesus when what you really want is what he can give you — security, community, meaning, answers? In John 6, Jesus calls out a crowd still thinking about yesterday's free meal and declares
