| 8/12/26 | Writing About Life, Living Out Faith with Gene Luen Yang (E37) | Gene Yang started his artistic journey at the age of two. But in the fifth grade, he encountered something that changed his life forever... A comic book. While perusing the spinner racks at his local bookstore, Gene spotted DC Comics Presents: Number 57, Starring Superman and the Atomic Knight. With his mother's blessing, he purchased his first comic. An obsession began and his artistic journey took on a new direction. A second encounter transformed Gene in a powerful new way. Although he'd grown up in a faithful family, it wasn't until his freshman year at an InterVarsity fall conference that Gene had an intimate encounter with God and began following Jesus. As this new relationship bloomed, so did his desire to incorporate his faith into his artistry. Inspired by one professor's advice to write about his life and live out his faith, Gene has since found creative ways to follow and share Jesus as he pens new storylines for famous comic book series like Avatar: The Last Air Bender, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even his childhood inspiration, Superman. *"Cartoon Gene" portrait created by Gene Luen Yang and used with permission.*RELATED EPISODE(S)Andy Mineo: Using Influence, Inspiration, and Imperfection to Make Something New (E20) - Apple, Spotify, YouTubeSTAY IN TOUCH WITH GENEVisit Gene's WebsiteSTAY IN TOUCH WITH INTERVARSITY WORLD CHANGERSSocials: @ivworldchangerspodSubscribe, rate, & review: Apple, Spotify, YouTubeVisit our WebsiteSupport more InterVarsity World Changer stories! ★ Support this podcast ★ | 46m 56s | ||||||
