The Divine Perspective

Worship as a way of being

by Dr. Robert M. Still, Jr., DWS

Welcome! This website is my creative space for thinking-out-loud on the intersection of spirituality, theology, creativity, and personal growth.

As both an artist and academic, I see worship beyond formal or religious definitions, but as a way of being—something that shapes how we live, love, and create in the world.

On this site, I share stories, insights, and inspiration designed to encourage your spiritual journey. Together, we wrestle with profound ideas and practical applications alike.

Check back for fresh thoughts and ideas—most weeks, anyway. Sojourn with me as we seek The Divine Perspective.

Thank you for subscribing!

Have a great day!
