In this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist Podcast, I’m joined by Jason & Dena Hobbs. Jason and Dena are very familiar with the struggle of anxiety, both professionally and personally. Jason as a clinician, Dena as someone with anxiety, and both as pastors of congregations full of anxious people.

They also know the shame and confusion that so often accompany these disorders, especially for people who think their faith should be strong enough to overcome these struggles.

Jason and Dena will be sharing the story of their journey and some steps you can take today to start finding freedom from anxiety in your own life.

Jason & Dena’s book, “When Anxiety Strikes.” is available right here on Amazon.

Have you ever wondered how to tell when the Holy Spirit is guiding you and working with you in your art or when you are trying to do it all on your own?" If this is you, you're not alone. This is a question I get a lot from artists all over the world.

In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, and in my blog, I want to share with you a few things that I've learned over the years that have really helped me definitively answer this question for myself.

203 – 5-Minute Mentoring: Overcoming the Fear Of What Others Think Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

One of the questions I get from artists all the time is, “Matt, how do I get over the fear of what other people think about my life and my art as a Kingdom creative?” This is a big problem. In fact, it’s the foundation of just about every problem that creatives face.

In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, and in this week's Blog, I’ll hit this problem head-on. I’ll also give you some real practical steps you can begin to take to move through this and find freedom from these debilitating fears.
In this episode, I mentioned two great resources that may help you as you begin to renew your mind. The first is my book, Created to Thrive, and it's available in Print, Digital, and Audio versions directly from Amazon, right here: https://www.amazon.com/Created-Thrive-Artists-Living-Abundance/dp/1536904279

With all the opportunities we have today to promote art and connect with buyers via social media, is a website really something you need to worry about?

Well in my blog article and in this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I tackle this question while offering a fresh perspective on how to turn a casual online follower into a connected client.
