A life of creativity is an expression of our role of co-creators with God says musical and visual artist Jessica Gerhardt. Her spiritual journey and influences have taught that “we all have an invitation to lean into creativity as people who are made in God’s image.” She also discusses with host Jean Kelly how meditation like audio divina helps us to also take social action with “spiritual and emotional sobriety” that makes our involvement sustainable.

About
Jessica Gerhardt is a queer, Catholic LA-native singer-songwriter with a distinct spiritual bent. Having grown up in a Catholic-Jewish mixed-faith family, Jessica was shaped by inclusive notions of religion. She claims this spiritual identity in her debut LP, Alight Beyond the Sea, which centers around Psalm 139 and God’s presence in sorrow and joy, in darkness and light, and in seeking to live authentically. Jessica is also a sponsored Lanikai Ukuleles artist, co-founder of the arts collective Parnassus & Co, founder of the house-concert series Friday at The Fox Den, writes on occasion for National Catholic Reporter, sells her art via her Etsy shop
Work of Human Hands, and is a high school theology teacher.
