How does imagination shape not only our art but our spiritual formation?
And what does it mean to hold space for play, growth, and even
disappointment within our creative process?

In this episode, Stephen Roach is joined by Jon Guerra — a singer,
songwriter, and film composer based in Austin, Texas, whose work is marked
by its devotional nature and spiritual depth.

Jon shares the inspiration behind his latest record, Jesus, a deeply
personal and contemplative album born from the tension between daily life
and artistic calling. The conversation explores his experience scoring
Terrence Malick’s A Hidden Life, the unpredictable and iterative nature of
the creative process, and how imagination serves as a vital tool in both
spiritual formation and the search for creative flow.

Topics Include:

Imagination as a tool for spiritual and artistic formation

Finding creative flow amidst life’s changing seasons

The role of play, growth, and disappointment in the creative process

Scoring for film and the collaborative, iterative nature of that work

The inspiration behind Jon’s new album Jesus
