The God and Gigs Show

Why is it that people with the least to offer...seem to have the greatest confidence?
Meanwhile, those of us with a lot to offer hesitate and overthink our chance to shine?
In this creative checkup episode, we'll show you why you're battling an uphill struggle while others with little skill or knowledge are displaying their talents brazenly.
By focusing on your own worthiness, you can put things into perspective and show up confidently and authentically...and stop losing opportunities to those who may not be as proficient in their craft.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- The power behind the Dunning-Kruger Effect and how it influences your self-assurance.
- How to embrace your God-given-confidence by identifying and focusing on your unique talents and strengths.

How to Authentically Share The Good News As A Creative (Back to Basics #7)
The God and Gigs Show
12/09/21 • 13 min
When you hear the word "evangelism", you might immediately think of missionaries or preachers - but for Christian creatives in the mainstream marketplace, evangelism isn't just about what happens at an altar call.
Creatives who love God but who work outside the four walls of the church have to constantly navigate living a life that draws people to God, by serving people who may be far from God with excellence and respect.
By practicing all seven of the Seven Service Steps to Creative Success, you can harness all the benefits of living an authentic Christian life and watch as your influence helps spread the good news of the Gospel.
For more info on The Seven Service Steps to Creative Success, and all our other resources, head to godandgigs.com/start.

Too Big or Too Small? How to Set Your Unique Audience Growth Goals
The God and Gigs Show
04/24/23 • 10 min
There's one thing every creative needs, but not everyone knows how to find....
The right size audience. It's a search full of mindset traps.
Are you playing it small, just to protect yourself from being disappointed?
Or, are you constantly aiming to get every follower you can - because you fear looking insignificant?
Either one of these is an extreme that we should avoid. But how can we determine the RIGHT size goal for our platform / career growth?
In this Creative Checkup episode, you'll discover how to:
- Harmonize your creative aspirations and target audience
- Conquer fears and embrace new avenues to amplify your creative reach.
- Sidestep the pitfalls of comparison and counterproductive mindsets as you build your platform.
- Focus on nurturing genuine connections to enhance audience involvement.
- Rely on spiritual guidance to foster growth and foster meaningful relationships.
Focus on the people first and the size of the platform will be based on the grace that you've been given to reach those people. - Allen C. Paul
