LAB the Podcast: Poetry Corner with Wendy Kieffer | Fire & Ice - Robert Frost

In this Poetry Corner episode of LAB the Podcast, we slow down with Poet and Conservatory Artist Wendy Kieffer to explore the work of Robert Frost.Together, we step into two of Frost’s most iconic poems, “Fire and Ice” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” unpacking how something so brief can hold such depth. From desire and hate… to rest, responsibility, and the quiet pull of the “lovely, dark, and deep,” this conversation invites us to reflect on what’s happening within our own hearts. Frost reminds us that poetry doesn’t just inform, it awakens. It helps us remember what it would impoverish us to forget. And in a world constantly pulling for our attention, this episode is an invitation to pause, listen, and rediscover the beauty of reflection.Support / Sponsor LAB the Podcast: https://vuvivo.com/supportFor More Videos, Subscribe:  @VUVIVOV3 | https://www.youtube.com/@VUVIVOV3Follow: @labthepodcast | @vuvivo_v3 | @zachjelliott | @wendy.kiefferLike:  https://www.facebook.com/vuvivo.v3Order Alchemy of Praise: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1944470220?ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_3NCER8Y41NXPRQ5QE469&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_3NCER8Y41NXPRQ5QE469&social_share=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_3NCER8Y41NXPRQ5QE469&skipTwisterOG=2#vuvivo #v3 #LABthePodcast #PoetryCorner #RobertFrost #FireAndIce #StoppingByWoods #Poetry #FaithAndArt #Beauty #WendyKiefferSupport the show

LAB the Podcast with Sasha Phillips: The Story Behind Madonna Del Armenia

In this powerful episode of LAB the Podcast, Zach Elliott sits down with visual artist and iconographer Sasha Phillips to explore a story where art becomes far more than expression, it becomes prayer, legacy, and home. Born in Russia during the final decades of Soviet rule, Sasha inherited a sacred artistic lineage shaped by faith under persecution. What began as quiet sketches passed down through generations has now become a breathtaking 10-foot icon—Madonna Del Armenia—destined for a cathedral in Armenia.Sasha shares the deeply personal journey behind this work: from discovering her great uncle’s original painting to standing before it decades later… and ultimately being invited to carry that legacy forward. What unfolds is a story of divine providence, generational faith, and the mysterious way beauty continues to speak across time.Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.

LAB the Podcast ON THE ROAD with Sacred Heart Catholic Church

What happens when beauty quietly preaches?In this special LAB the Podcast: On THE ROAD episode, we step into the heart of downtown Tampa to explore a space that feels less like a building and more like a living story. Joined by longtime docent Beryl Byles, we uncover the layers of meaning woven into every detail from radiant stained-glass windows to the architecture shaped with purpose and devotion.As we walk through one of Florida’s oldest churches, we’re reminded that beauty isn’t just something to admire—it’s something that points beyond itself. Every window, every symbol, every act of generosity tells a story of faith, legacy, and a community that gave what they had to create something that would outlast them.Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.
