Breaking Bread is a site about the arts of baking, filmmaking, and living life. Those things seem unrelated but in some strange way, I think they are. As an artist, I see threads running through almost every part of my life.

I write about baking and filmmaking because they’re two very different but very gratifying arts for me. One combines plant life and microorganisms to create a delicate and hearty food that nourishes the body. The other combines light, sound, and story to create an experience that enriches and challenges the heart and mind. Both provide insight into how God has given us raw materials–on this earth and in life experience–to cultivate and build into something richer that edifies others.

Through this blog, I’d like to provide you with guidance in these arts so that you may come to appreciate their depth as well. I’ll tie that together with what God has taught me over the years about Himself and the purpose of art. But I am by no means an authority. I invite you to dialogue and explore with me.
