Lipscomb University's McClure Faith and Science Center, Office of Spiritual Formation, along with the Mount Carmell Faith, Science, and Arts Collective are organizing a special art exhibit this Fall. 

The event will feature science art, images of beautiful data and/or art inspired by science. Participants will learn about the practice of Visio Divina, and have an opportunity to interact and engage with the science art in ways that are informative (learning a little about the science) and also spiritually formative (encountering God through his creation).

Here's where YOU come in. Are you a scientist or artist of faith? Do you have beautiful data or science-inspired art that you'd like to be featured in our Visio Divina Art Exhibit? We welcome all forms of data, qualitative and quantitative, microscopic and macroscopic, from all STEM fields, as well as art inspired by science. 

Examples of submissions may include an image taken under a microscope, a phylogenetic tree, field data, chromatography, 3D modeling of a protein, a mathematical model, a painting...surprise us!

All work must be your own, created or taken by you. If AI is used in any capacity for the data, please specify in the image description. You can submit your data for consideration using the form below.

Lance and Anne's passion is to make disciples of Jesus. Every student is treated like family, we walk through life with the students. Helping them to develop strong relationships with Jesus. We help them to develop strong prayer and bible reading habits, how to worship and serve. Teaching them to have community with the father. We have been there for the students on the top of mountains and in the valley. Helping our students to succeed both spiritually and in their academics. It is an honor to be able to do what we do. We however can't do this without help of our generous supporters. If you would like to give to their ministry you can do so here.

About the Song: This song is an invitation to taste and see the goodness of God all around us, from everything he created like the oceans, trees, sun and moon, to everything he has done for us.

Sermon by: Colin Fagan, Chaplain and former InterVarsity Campus Minister

Speaker Bio: Reverend Colin Fagan holds both an MA in Conflict Management and Master of Divinity from of Lipscomb University. Theological ethics grabs a lot of his attention particularly around adoption and the formation of adoptees within the believing community. This work has also led him to experience the rich Christian tradition of Spiritual Direction and Friendship particularly of the Jesuit sort. He is captivated by Jesus sharing so intimately in human life that he would invite us into friendship with himself. This deep companioning in all seasons and situations of life knows no bounds or conditions. Consequently, Colin enjoys holding space and journeying alongside those who find themselves in seasons and conditions of life that cause deep questions of God and existence to bubble up.

He was ordained as a vocational deacon in 2020 and is a part of the Diocese of Saint Anthony in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches. He is currently editing a book on adoption that he hopes will offer constructive pathways for how the church understands and participates in this most important ethical activity. He also serves at Luminous Anglican, an Anglican community in Franklin, TN.

About the song: This song was inspired by John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This is one of the most well-known scriptures in the Bible, and for good reason. It is the core gospel message in one simple and beautiful sentence. Jazmine and Ciara were inspired to put the verse to music one for a Bible study group they were a part of.

Song: “For Joy” written by Marie-Claire Mitchell and Ciara-Reyes-Ton

Lyrics: “I will lift my hands and praise the one who gave it all for me…who laid it down, for joy.”

Scripture & Reading by: Hebrews 12:2;

Prayer by: Grant Argent and Mike Dorroh

Sermon by: Jay, Overseas Missionary

Speaker Bio: Jay and his family live and serve in North Africa. Their heart is to love and glorify Jesus by sharing His good news and planting His church in places that have historically been resistant and hostile to the Gospel. 

About the Song: This song was inspired by Hebrews 12:2: "looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Joy isn’t usually contextualized within suffering, but Christ shows us that it can be.

Song: “New Every Morning” written by Ciara Reyes-Ton

Scripture & Reading by: Lamentations 3:22-23, Matt Mitchell

Prayer by: Matt Mitchell

Sermon by: Laura Randolph, Ordained Minister.

Speaker Bio: Minister Laura has served in ministry in different capacities over the past 20 plus years. She has been a member at Nashville Life Church for over 10 years.

About the Song: New Every Day is inspired by Lamentations 3:22-23: "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Our world is wounded, people are hurting, we need God's mercy and grace more than ever. This song is a reminder that the mercy and grace we need is readily available in Christ.
