“This painting depicts one of my favorite stories from the life of Christ,” says artist Morgan Weistling. “I remember reading about Jesus walking on water and noting that he was out in the middle of a lake! This had a profound effect on me.

“In 'Our Refuge and Strength' I wanted to show Peter’s point of view, as though the viewer were struggling in the water alongside him. And, like Peter, we come to the realization that Christ is there to save us, as suggested by the light breaking through the turbulent clouds.”
