My guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist Podcast is Fiona Horrobin. Fiona, along with her husband Peter, founded Ellel Ministries, a healing and freedom ministry that started in the UK and has now spread around the world.

It was through ministering to the broken-hearted that Fiona discovered that healing flowed out of creative expression. Through discovering their creativity, people were getting deeply in touch with their Creator and experiencing His healing love.

Fiona and I talk about her life, her art, and her book, Healing Through Creativity. I just know you’re going to be blessed by this interview.

Have you ever wanted to know what you are called to do by God and what exactly that means for you as a creative in His Kingdom? If that’s you, then I can’t wait for you to hear from my friend, Tinasha LaRaye. Tinasha is an actor, a filmmaker, and one of the creative arts pastors at Bethel Church out in Redding, CA.

During our chat, we explode the myth that your “calling” is tied to a specific occupation and unfold the deep biblical truth that our callings are to God, to others, to embrace our Godly identity, and to be a steward of the gifts, talents, and provisions He’s placed in our care.

You can connect with Tinasha online and learn more about what she is doing at www.mvmntcollab.com and on Instagram @IamTinashaLaraye

On this podcast, I’m always trying to connect you with top leaders in art, business, and ministry to build you up and encourage you along in your journey, and this week is certainly no different. Mike Thakur may not be a leader in the art world, but his example of entrepreneurship fused with faith is a clear picture of what thriving with a Kingdom-mindset is all about.

A few years ago, Mike had this crazy idea. What if he could use the power of entrepreneurship to create PROFIT that would fuel his PURPOSE to help PEOPLE. Mike Thakur did just that as the CEO of WorkLodge and Founder at the Gabriel Project.

I can’t wait for you to hear Mike talk about his mission to change lives through entrepreneurship and sustainable social enterprise.
