Episode 351: Justin McRoberts
Justin McRoberts weaves together art, prayer, and spiritual direction to help others find their way through seasons of loss, disappointment, and hope. In this conversation, Justin shares how letting go of outcomes opens us to God’s presence, why beauty is often discovered in the low places of life, and what it means to companion one another with compassion instead of control. We talk about depression, shame, and the cultural pressures to optimize and perform, and Justin offers a vision of faith that embraces reverence, honesty, and presence. Along the way, he reflects on his collaboration with Scott Erickson, the creation of In the Low, and how art can become a companion in our hardest moments. This is a conversation about finding God’s gifts in grief, learning to receive help, and discovering beauty in unexpected places.
