186 - Poetic Paintings - Art with a Story: A Conversation with Laura Brady Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

Laura was looking for more than just art marketing ideas.

In fact, she’d always believed there was more to being an artist but just didn’t know how to see that deep spiritual connection blossom in her own life until things changed.

In this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, I bring back a great artist and friend Laura Brady. Laura is back to share how the spiritual transformation she's experiencing now started when she became a member of my Created To Thrive Artist Mentoring Program. Her transformation has been incredible and has impacted both her artistic process and her art business in powerful ways.

I can’t wait for you to hear her story!

And (ooh, this is good!) I'd love for you to see the new video we just shot showcasing Laura and her story. You can find that video by clicking right here.

You can find Laura online at www.laurabradystudio.com and on Facebook and Instagram @laurabradystudio.

Show notes

You know a lot of people are talking about a new art renaissance that seems to be emerging around the world. That’s pretty awesome! But do you ever wonder if that's really what God's up to, or is there perhaps something more significant going on?

I do and in tthis episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, we're going to dive deep into this topic and explore why I believe there's much more on God's heart for artists today than simply a renaissance of the arts.

181 - 5 Minute Mentoring: The Art of Subtraction: Unleashing the Power of No Aug 28, 2020

Have you ever wished you could have a clear, focused, no drama kind of life? Well, in this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I’m going to talk about something that I call the Art of Subtraction.

This often “lost art” is a great tool for cutting away the things in life that don’t really make sense anymore, so that you can keep your focus on the things that are productive, fruitful, and fulfilling.

Welcome to The Thriving Christian Artist Podcast! Aug 25, 2020

Welcome to the Thriving Christian Artist Podcast. I’m really glad you’re here and I wanted to take just a second to let you know the heart behind everything we’re doing here on the podcast. Find out more about my books, live events and Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring program at www.MattTommeyMentoring.com

Back in 2009 God called me to raise up an army of artists to reveal His glory in the earth and this podcast is one of the core parts of that global movement.

Because of my own journey from struggling by myself for a lot of years as an artist to then experiencing major transformation in my own life and art business, I’m passionate about helping artists connect with the Holy Spirit, learn to realign their lives with the truth of God’s Word and bust through the roadblocks that have held them back for years so you can get on to the incredible things God has for you as artist in the Kingdom.

So every week, my heart is to help artists just like you get the practical information you need to start really thriving spiritually, artistically and as you navigate starting or growing your own art business - all from a Kingdom perspective. Each week you’ll hear a combination of conversations from artists who are really experiencing major breakthrough in their life and business, interviews with business, art, marketing and ministry leaders and of course, every Friday in my 5-minute mentoring episodes (which are never 5 minutes by they way, but that’s a whole other story) I’ll be answering specific questions from my listeners on a whole host of subjects from marketing & selling your art, creating with the Holy Spirit, healing and wholeness and a whole lot more.

I hope you’ll hang around and connect with us here on the podcast and become a part of this global movement of creatives that God’s raising up.
