Eniola Abioye: Art, Circuit Riders, and UPPERROOM 

I love you guys!!

Eniola, thank you for introducing this crate artist into my life. And I’m grateful for God for introducing the green Room and yourself to me today. I’ve been a music teacher for years, and came home to be a homeschooling parent and homemaker for a season. This interview has a revitalized and resonated and awakened againcertain aspects of music, making and abiding in his presence that I had let die. Thank you for the blessing of this interview and your vulnerability.

Tyyyyyy!!! I miss you. Text me or DM me on Insta. ❤

I agree with you.

there’s a level of hunger when anything and everything reflects His glory and it’s how you want it at that point. EVERYTHING becomes about Him, no more self expression no more self identity or wanting to relate to “humanity”. It’s all about Jesus

@@xchorro well, that sound really cool, but as a 38 y/o christian I have heard this kind of gnostic discourse all over our [hyper]charismatical environments and guess what? it's both unsustainable and unbiblical. Jesus has a flesh, a body, and he embodies in me, in you and in His Church. He selected humans. He didn't expect us to be monothematic, but to bring him into every situation or topic so we can discover Him there. I can write a poem about a terrible topic, maybe about my disbelief or that I am angry at him and boom! Find him there. Like a totally different expression of His nature, one that I'd never experience if I stick to authorized, non-questionable writing worship songs, for example. He doesn't get offended by this (as most christians), because knows every human feeling and emotion, every temptation, every distress, because He chose to feel and experience it. Eugene Petterson says something like: Don't make void and impossible promises like "I give you my life completely". Because you will fail and it will make you feel guilty. Start by giving him your full attention for 15 minutes and we well see by then.

An artist that I love who I think does an incredible job with portraying the heart of God through really amazing art that isn’t cliche is Cody Miller. I would recommend checking his work out.

Honestly, this was NOT my takeaway from what Eniola shared at all. ALL is for His glory. Period. But she wasn’t trying to dictate what artwork should “look like” or “sound like” that the Glory of God falls on or what the artwork should look like that might reveal the Glory of God. Everything she shared here in this video to me seemed REALLY balanced because I personally believe every work of art can be an expression or act of worship as an overflow of one’s intimate relationship with Jesus, Daddy God, and Holy Spirit. Whatever /WHOEVER overshadows an artist or if they are fully filled and given over fully surrendered to THE CREATOR, as they create as an artist/creative is what will flow out of that piece of art whether it’s a song or an abstract painting. I actually believe God can absolutely use all forms of art to radically change and transform someone’s life forever. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I definitely appreciate the deep dive that Eniola and Will took here.
