Exciting announcement time, Thriving Christian Artists!

I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve just released a 10th anniversary edition of my first book, “Unlocking the Heart of the Artist!”   I have so enjoyed revisiting the book and revising the book with new stories, new revelations, and new updates from the last ten years of stepping into my own calling from the Lord and raising up this army of artists to go out and reveal His glory to the world!  Revising the book after 10 years has truly been a joy, and I’m excited for you to experience it!  We’re also releasing it on audiobook and ebook so you have lots of options!

In today’s episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I’m reading an excerpt from Chapter 5 of the book, where we’re talking about discovering the Father’s heart for you through the story of the Prodigal Son, which is one of my favorites.  Tune in and listen - I hope these words resonate with you and are a blessing along your own journey to discovering the Father’s heart for you!

And make sure to visit me over on Instagram and YouTube, where I’ll be sharing more excerpts of the book and what it was like to revise my own art after 10 years!

In this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist Podcast, I’m joined once again by my good friend Casey Corbin. Casey is back to talk about a process he’s just developed called Mind Based Mood Management.

This interview today is going to leave you with an easy methodology to turn those stressful and fearful situations into an opportunity that God can use in your life to bring growth and maturity.

So everybody wants to be an “influencer” these days, right? The lure of followers, the excitement of sharing your passion with thousands who are listening to your every word.

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.

Do you ever struggle with the lack of time and feeling like you just can't get everything done?  It’s pretty common for most artists.  In fact, most artists struggle with feeling like they never have enough hours in the day.

The good news is, it doesn’t have to be that way!

In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I'm going to give you some really practical strategies on how to deal with the time crunch so you can gain victory over your schedule and start really spending time on the things that matter.

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.

How do you go from being a Lyft driver to being a thriving artist in the Kingdom of God? Well, that's the story of my guest today, Gabriel Stockton.

I'm sure you're going to love this episode, and I'd love for you to see the great new video we just shot highlighting Gabriel and his art. (It’s pretty cool with all the shots of Gabriel plein air painting in one of San Diego’s beautiful parks.) You can find that video by clicking right here.

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.

I've got a great friend and member of my Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring Program, Marguerite Anglin, joining us for this episode of the podcast.  

I love her story because it's not only a story of internal transformation, but because she is not only growing as an artist, she's doing it while working full-time as an architect. 

I'm sure you're going to find this episode very encouraging. I'd love for you to see the great new video we just shot celebrating Marguerite. You can find that video by clicking right here.

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.
