The MattCast is podcast with the specific mission of bringing the church world and art world together. We want to challenge those primarily in the church world to see what they do more artistically, or seeing that art is not an enemy of the church. We also want to challenge believers in the public sphere and marketplace with being intentional about glorifying God in their art while making it accessible to audiences. The MattCast will occasionally feature interviews and always a touch of comedy along the way.
