What do Smokey the Bear and the third chapter of James have in common? Wildfires!

Join in the discussion as Gary and Rick take a couple minutes to examine James chapter three.

"Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.  Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be," James 3:5-10.

Western sculptor Susan Kliewer pays a visit to the Medicine Man Gallery studio and discusses her long and difficult road to becoming an artist with host Dr. Mark Sublette. Susan chronicles the wonderful story behind her ascent to finding her artistic footing including (but not limited to) winning her first art show at age 9, declining a scholarship to a prestigious LA art school, and smashing gender barriers working in an Arizona foundry in the 1970s and 80s. We hear about Susan's time on the Navajo reservation and how working at a trading post led to the adoration and appreciation seen in her bronze sculptures of the Navajo people. From Orange County to Sedona, Hawaii to the Royal Order of Jesters in Indiana, this is one episode of the ART DEALER DIARIES if your struggling as an artist you won't want to miss.
