Press Release 

New TV Series, InSpire, Focuses on Christian Art

LLBN launches venue for artists in a wide range of

creative disciplines to showcase Christian-themed work.

           

Loma Linda, Calif. – April 22, 2019 – Loma Linda Broadcasting Network (LLBN) premieres a new half hour TV series showcasing artists who use a breadth of media, technique and expression to create contemporary art based on Christianity, the Bible and God’s works and wonders.

            Called ‘InSpire’, it features people who are passionate about using the creative arts to tell God’s story and bring good to life.  It consists of interviews and presentations of original painting, photography, fashion, sculpture, crafts and music among other creative disciplines. The weekly program is hosted by Rich DuBose, Director of Creative Ministries for the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists, and a professional songwriter.

            “‘InSpire’ is different in that it goes beyond the traditional outlet for Christian creativity, namely music,” DuBose said. “While music remains an integral component of Godly expression, we wanted to highlight other artistry that also glorifies and conveys the Lord’s gentleness, power and presence in the world.”

            The program’s premiere featured the owner of a Los Angeles boutique that sells fashionable clothing inspired by Biblical guidance on dress and appearance. Also interviewed was a Christian film maker and photographer, an art director for various types of printed media, and a composer who artistically blends traditional Gospel hymns with light classical music.

Upcoming shows include the maker of handcrafted Christian-themed quilts, and an artist playing spiritual songs on a Swiss alpenhorn. ‘InSpire’ airs every Saturday at 2:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time on LLBN’s ‘His Word’ network, one of eight separate channels from the Loma Linda-based Christian broadcaster.  In addition to over-the-air TV, satellite broadcasting and Internet Protocol TV (Roku; Amazon Fire), ‘InSpire’ is live-streamed on LLBN’s website (llbn.tv) or by downloading the LLBN Android or Apple mobile phone app.

LLBN is a non-profit, viewer-funded ministry with all donations tax deductible under 501(c)3 regulations. Many studio operations and daily working support are handled by volunteers of all ages and walks of life who provide their time and services for free.

The ministry is in its 22^nd year of sharing Jesus Christ’s grace, mercy and love as depicted in the Bible through the influential medium of television. “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations…”  Matthew 24:14.
