246 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Finding Balance In Your Calling Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

I love talking about the Kingdom of God. It's so simple. It's so clearly laid out in scripture. And yet, so many people, me included for many years, have no clue how the Kingdom works.

For instance, have you ever wondered what your responsibilities are when it comes to fulfilling the plan, purpose, and calling that God has for your life? Well, in my blog and today's episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, we'll dive into what the scripture says about this.

As creatives, it's easy to become so focused on the cares and worries of this life that we lose sight of the things that God's called us to. But when that switch happens inside your heart and mind, and you realize that God's got this, that He's got your back, all of a sudden, things change.

That's been my story, and it's been the story of almost every artist we share here on the podcast. This is certainly true for my guest today, Matthew Peterson. Matthew takes time to share his incredible story of how he's learning to cooperate with God on every step of his journey.

All of us, at one time or another, have probably wanted to rewrite the story of our lives, or at least the perspective on some of the things that we've walked through. My guest today, Valerie Wiebe, has done just that.

Hailing from Canada, Valerie is an incredible artist with an amazing story of hope and transformation as she has started waking up to the reality of who she is in the Kingdom and all that God has for her.

241 - Creative Convergence: A Conversation with Julie Bagamary Apr 13, 2021

In this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, I'm joined by my friend and fellow creative, Julie Bagamary. Now, if her name sounds familiar, you may have seen the video we did a couple of years ago that featured Julie and the incredible transformation she had and is continuing to have inside my Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring Program.

In this episode, we'll be talking about her latest creative expression, one birthed out of the journey of restoration and awakening in her own life. In her first book, Foster Parenting Matters: Creating a Home for Hope and Healing, Julie shares the insights and wisdom that she and her husband, Randy, gain from their years of foster parenting.

I love sharing these kinds of stories because it shows that as Kingdom creatives, our "art" isn't simply defined by the works we create but by the release of God's creative expression in every area of our lives. Julie's story is just another example of how when we co-labor with the Holy Spirit, He'll do things in and through our lives that we never thought would be possible.

I just know Julie's story will bless you as you listen to it.

You can connect with Julie online and learn more about her new book by visiting https://www.juliebagamary.com/ and on Facebook and Instagram @JulieBagamaryArt

As Kingdom people, I believe we're all called to connect with God's people and be part of the local church. Tanya and I are so blessed to be a part of an incredible church here in Western North Carolina called New Covenant Church.
I was recently invited to be a part of the preaching team, which is so much fun for me. I love talking to you here on the podcast and social media like I usually do, but now that we're getting back to normal, it's so refreshing to be able to speak to people live and in person. I don't know about you, but I've missed those interactions.
No matter where you are in your life and art, it's vital that you know how to thrive in your relationships in order to be, do, and walk fully in all that God has for you. In today's episode, you'll get to join our congregation as I dive deep into some practical ways that you can start to thrive in your relationships.

I genuinely believe that we're called as believers to walk in life-giving, beautiful relationships with other people. We're not meant to do this life alone. And yet, so many times, the enemy keeps us on the edges.

If you've ever felt alone and stuck on the outside, then you definitely want to check out my blog and tune into today's podcast. I'll be sharing three things the Lord showed me about sowing into others to have the relationships and connections that make life complete.
