Jazz and Improv | Ike and Misty Ann Sturm | Everyday Spirituality

In this episode of Everyday Spirituality, Bryan Bardin talks with Ike and Misty Ann Sturm. Ike and Misty met over their love of music and valentines candy while in college — Ike for jazz and sacred music, Misty for classical. After graduation, Ike used his unique blend of sacred music and jazz at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Manhattan as the Music Director for their Jazz Vespers Service. Misty is a teacher and mother who continues to share her gift of music in conjunction with Ike and other musical collectives regularly.

Hearing the concepts of creativity, spirituality and justice weave themselves through each part of our conversation reignited my passion for our mission. Somehow, creativity can inform and elevate spirituality, which can inspire and direct justice, which sparks new and powerful creativity.
