Summary
In this episode, Leah interviews iconographer Elizabeth Zelasko. Elizabeth shares her journey with art, conversion, and learning to walk away from the plans that she had for the (better!) plans God had for her.
She also finally explains to us all WHY it's called "writing" an icon, not "painting" one!
