In this episode, we welcome Wendy, the Conservatory Poet for VUVIVO Ministries and cohost of the poetry podcast featured on LAB the Podcast (Life + Beauty). From pursuing an English degree and venturing to New York City to explore the arts, to discovering the God who calls and her calling, Wendy’s story is as poetic as the verses she writes. Now residing in Florida as a mother of four and serving alongside her husband as a deacon, teacher, and worship leader, Wendy joins us to share the inspiration behind her debut poetry collection, Alchemy of Praise.

Join us as we delve into the heart of creativity and faith, exploring Wendy’s artistic beginnings, her views on the biblical role of the arts, and the transformative power of writing. We also discuss her favorite books, what makes for good writing, and how pastors, church leaders, and parents can nurture a love for art and truth in their communities. Whether you’re a poet, an artist, or simply someone passionate about cultivating beauty in a noisy and chaotic world, this episode will inspire and challenge you to view creativity as a vital part of the Christian life.
