The Thriving Christian Artist - 310 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Process vs Purpose
play

12/17/21 • 6 min

Do you ever get stuck in analysis paralysis?

It’s so easy to be overwhelmed with possibilities and options that we creatives tend to overthink the answers to the swarm of questions buzzing in your head.

When it comes right down to it, though, I've found that there are really two kinds of questions: purpose questions and process questions. Recognizing the difference between the two can reframe the situation and create clarity and breakthrough in your art career.

On this week’s episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, we're talking about how to distinguish between purpose questions and process questions. We're also breaking down how to get past analysis paralysis when you're feeling stuck on a difficult question.

Finding clarity around your purpose and your process is essential to thriving as a Christian artist. If you’re struggling to find that clarity, check out my new free guide! Download it by clicking the link below!

Everyone likes to talk about “work-life balance,” but when your passion for creating, your business, your livelihood, and your faith overlap, striking that balance becomes even more challenging!
As I help artists connect artistic, business, and spiritual life together in a holistic way, the question comes up over and over: How do you blend that balance to express your unique voice as an artist? One of the best keys is to develop the discipline of repeated practices.
On today’s episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, I’m talking with Gina Morgano. She expresses her unique voice, quite literally, as a vocalist and voice teacher, as well as host of The Practice Parlour podcast, and creator of The Practice Planner.
She's an inspiration for ways to include practices that shape the life, work, and faith of a Christian artist. She also shares how God can use your creative career to open doors for relationships where introductions with religious labels never could.
Keep up with Gina Morgano on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/ginamorgano/ or on her website at https://www.ginamorgano.com/

The Thriving Christian Artist - 388 | 5-Minute Mentoring: Help, I Have No Time
play

09/30/22 • 5 min

Ever feel like there's just not enough time in the day to do the things you want to do? Is that feeling keeping you from pursuing your artistic dreams?

Feeling like there's not enough time is a common concern for everybody. We’re all given the same 24 hours every day to accomplish what we want and need to do, but sometimes you feel like you could accomplish so much more if you just had a couple more hours to work with.

And there are folks out there who we perceive as go-getters, doing all the things we wish we could find the time to do. How do they do it? Where do they find that time and energy and focus to make it all happen?

In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I'm going to give you their exact secret formula for a time-extending potion that you can make in your own home!

No, wait, that's not a thing. Sorry 😉

Instead, I'm going to talk about things you can do to prioritize what God is calling you to do - like, say, your art - so your time, energy, and focus are spent following God's will for your life. The time is there. You just have to know how to use it wisely.

When you’re ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help:

1️⃣ Join Us in November - Every artist was created by God to create with Him to both experience and release His Light and Life through their creative expression.

The Thriving Christian Artist - 398 | 5-Minute Mentoring: How to Seek the Kingdom of God in Your Life
play

11/04/22 • 5 min

There are a lot of things out there that we might find ourselves seeking in this world. Fame, fortune, comfort, power, pleasure, and so much more are idolized, obsessed over, and available to us right now, more than at any other time in history.

But just like Yoda told Luke that a Jedi doesn’t crave adventure and excitement, we Christians have been told not to crave those types of worldly things either.

Instead, we are clearly told, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.”
But what does that actually mean? And how do we go about doing it in this day and age?
In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I’ll give you my thoughts on how you can focus your life and your art on God’s Kingdom every day. And when you do that, you’ll be amazed at all the things God will add unto you.

The Thriving Christian Artist - 404 | 5-Minute Mentoring: Why I Played the Lottery
play

12/02/22 • 7 min

As of the time of this video, the Powerball lottery is up to something like $1.9 BILLION dollars. Billion. With a B.
Can you even fathom how much money that is? It is such a staggering amount of money for a person to have for themselves that it might as well be called a “gazillion” or a “bajillion.”
It’s no wonder so many people are buying a ticket or two in the infinitesimal hope that maybe they’ll be the one to take it home (or at least what’s left after taxes).
And when I hear people talking about what they would do with that kind of money (or even a tenth, or a hundredth of that amount) it’s amazing to hear how people feel their lives would change. All the great things that they could do in their lives, if only they had the money.
As fun as it can be to buy a ticket and dream, we need to realize that if we are good and faithful stewards, God has already given us everything we need to accomplish what He has in store for our lives. Want to know more? Listen to this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring!

The Thriving Christian Artist - 374 5-Minute Mentoring: Why Dabbling In Art Can Be Dangerous
play

08/12/22 • 11 min

Painting with acrylics...wood-carving...clay sculptures...oil painting...making baskets...cake decorating. There are so many awesome art media that it can be hard to just pick one!

We have so many ways to express ourselves creatively that it can be hard to "settle" for one creative outlet when you are excited about so many others.

And that's great when you're just kinda "doing your thing" as an artist. But it may not be so great if you're trying to be a professional artist with a steady stream of income that comes from your art.

But as the old saying goes, “Jack of all trades, master of none.”

In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I'll tell you how to know if you're doing too much dabbling, and how you can make a conscious move towards being a decisive artist. Check it out!

Sometimes no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to get ahead.

My friend Maria Morris has had to fight through this for quite a long time. She has followed God’s call to be an artist and a teacher, but she could never seem to break through on the financial side of things.

Selling her art and classes on her own website and trying her luck on Skillshare and Etsy only led to inconsistent income and uncertainty. Money would come and money would go, and all Maria could do was try to react.

And what’s worse, she began to feel the burden of fear and self-sabotage weighing her down, threatening to break her spirit.

Fortunately, her faith kept her strong, she overcame these challenges, and she found her way into our mentorship program. And in this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, she’s going to tell you how all this helped her to develop the consistent, regulated cashflow she needed to create the life she’s always wanted as an artist.

Take a listen to this episode, and check out Maria’s art, teaching, and coaching at her (much more successful 😀) website and on Instagram:
