The Thriving Christian Artist

Send us a text

For well over a decade I’ve dedicated my time and energy to raising up an army of artists in God’s Kingdom. I’ve taught countless artists how to thrive and experience the abundance of God with their art as a focal point.
But the principles I’ve learned and shared all this time don’t just apply to artists. They can apply to plumbers, teachers, car dealers, pharmacists... and to you!
That’s why I’ve written my new book, God’s Plan for Living. This book, as well as the accompanying podcast that will be launching soon, is a vehicle to get the message of thriving in the Kingdom out to everybody, not just artists, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
So many Christians out there are frustrated about not seeing the Kingdom manifest in their lives the way they see it in the lives of others. They aren’t doing anything wrong, they just don’t know how to experience the Kingdom. That’s why in God’s Plan for Living, I’m sharing my I.D.E.A.L framework - identity, design, expansion, alignment, and love - to help you align with what God is calling you to do.
If you’ve been listening to my podcasts and thinking, “But Matt, I’m not an artist,” this is the book for you. I want to encourage you to go ahead and buy a copy - the link is below - so we can work together on opening the doors of the Kingdom in your life. I hope you’ll join me on this journey!

I use the word "thrive" so much that I sometimes forget to take a step back and clarify what I mean by it.
Thriving is all about flourishing in what God has called you to and experiencing the abundance, joy, and fulfillment God created us for.
So how does one go about thriving in the Kingdom of God?
In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I tell you about God's I-D-E-A-L - an easy, five-part framework for you to begin to put into your life that will lead you to a place of thriving in the Kingdom.

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.

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.

It all started with a book called “Willow Basketry” that I got from the University of Georgia bookstore where I worked.

In fact, I didn’t really think of myself as an artist then - I’d spent more time creating and performing music, not art.

But something about that book caught my eye. I’d never woven anything before, but I was willing to give it a try. And I had acres of kudzu vine behind my apartment. It was destiny! (Ah, the boldness of youth...).

Looking back, I’m thankful that I found that book...and that I was willing to take a risk on making baskets, even though I wasn’t very good at the beginning.

That decision (and that book) changed everything for me.

But I see so many emerging artists who are so fearful of “doing it wrong” that they struggle to try something new, worried that their worth as an artist is tied to the outcome of their efforts.

In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, we’re talking about how the constant need for permission can actually paralyze you and stunt your development as an artist...and what to do instead to walk in your journey with the Lord.

Growing as an artist doesn’t have to feel risky, especially if you have the right support. If you’re ready to start thriving spiritually, artistically, and financially, here are 3 ways I can help:
