We are humans and we don't have it all in our heads to know exactly well something will look in nature.

You know, and so I like to go right to God's creation and see it with my own eyes and respond to it rather than try to create it.

I'm not the creator here. I kind of respond to the creation.

So that's what I do. And so I wanted to see what God had to store, you know once again

And every painting goes in with prayer and so you know this painting had a lot of answered prayers as it went along.

That's Morgan Weisling describing how God has gotten a hold of him, his talent for art,

and how God's using that today in some pretty incredible ways.

And Morgan is our guest today on Focus on the Family.

Your host is Focus President, Jim Daly, and I'm John Fuller.

John, we're doing something a little unusual today. We're in a very different kind of

studio for our listeners. Let me describe it. We're surrounded by paintings and

easels and probably more paint brushes than I've ever seen in my life.

There's got to be 300 paint brushes over here.

And all of this is to help you better understand an incredible story that we're going to talk about today.

This is where Morgan creates his award-winning artwork, most often depicting scenes

about early American life. The pioneer days, if we could call

them that, Western scenes and lots of paintings about families and children doing

all of the hard work they had to do to survive. when you read those stories and think about

families crossing the prairies. Our goal is to introduce you to Morgan and his

passion for serving the Lord through art, his story. He's got an incredible story, a testimony

of how God has equipped him and gifted him and called him into this wonderful world of art.

And you can see this, of course, on YouTube
