Few books in my life have affected me as much as the one that I’m going to introduce to you today. It's called “The Sound of Life’s Unspeakable Beauty” by an incredible luthier from Germany, Martin Schelske.

While this book was initially written in German, it has just been released in English earlier this year. In today’s episode of the Thriving Christian Artist Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Janet Gesme, who is responsible for translating this incredible book into English.

You’re sure to be inspired by Janet’s journey as she shares how the Lord bought her through a time of great healing on the way to supernaturally leading her to this book and the translation process.

The book, The Sound of Life’s Unspeakable Beauty can be found on Amazon and at other online retailers.
You can connect with Janet on line via Facebook.

Do you want different results in life but still find yourself doing the same things you've always done? A lot of us have done that in our lives. In fact, that was my story for many, many years until the Lord began showing me a different way to live.
The most exciting part? As I started making the changes He showed me and sharing those changes with others, their lives changed too! Pretty sweet!
In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, and in my blog article on the same topic, I'm going to be sharing some practical things you can do to stop the cycle and start moving forward in your life and your art.

188 - Transformational Provision: A Conversation with Trent and Kate Freeman Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

For 25+ years, Trent worked as an artist. Did his best every year and yet continued to struggle financially. He was doing everything he knew how to do and then literally, one word from the Lord changed everything.

Since then, life (and their art business) has not been the same!

In this episode, I'm joined again by Trent and Kate Freeman. Their story of breakthrough is really one of the most amazing I’ve had the privilege of sharing. Through their involvement in the Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring Program and the lessons they’ve learned, they have been completely transformed by the power of God, especially in the area of financial provision.

I can’t wait for you to hear their story because here’s the deal my friend. The same God that brought breakthrough in their life wants to do the same for you as you learn to walk in the truth of His Kingdom.

You can find Trent and Kate online at www.tefreemanstudio.com and on Facebook and Instagram @tefreemanstudio.
