Check out this great article in the Tribune’s Ovation section about Karis intern Kate Chute.  Aarik did a great job again.  It’s exciting to see Karis members making headlines in our community.

Check out the recent Vox Magazine.  Karis’s own Matt Ballou is featured!

It’s always exciting to see a Karis member writing in the Tribune about a fellow Karis member.  Aarik Danielsen, the Trib’s arts editor, and a Karis elder-candidate, features Brady Didion in this week’s “Niche” article.  Brady is a gifted guitarist.  You can hear him rock out a couple of weeks a month on Sundays at Karis.  It’s also cool to see how my buddy’s faith comes out clearly in the article.  Congratulations, Brady!

Karis member Matt Ballou is in the latest show at the P-S Gallery with another local Columbia artist David Spear.  Check out this article written by another Karis member, Aarik Danielsen.  Exciting to see both of the guys so influential in the area arts scene.

Karis member Lindsey Howald just wrote a great feature on Karis member Matt Ballou.  Lindsey edits the Columbia Tribune’s Ovation section.  Matt teaches art at Mizzou and is an accomplished painter.  He is a gifted leader and theologian, leading and shepherding a Karis C-Group in an exemplary manner with the assistance of his sweet wife Alison.  We’re so thankful to have them on board.  Check out the super article about Matt’s work here.

A quote: It would be a great mistake for one to assume that Ballou, now 32, has painted any of these because he thinks they look good. Before his acceptance to the master of fine arts program at Indiana University, Ballou, wearied by his job, wrote constantly to give himself hope. He has published a book called “One Hundred Permutations” and an essay about Nerdrum himself in “Image Journal.” He developed deep philosophies behind all that he paints, philosophies that power the work and give it meaning.
