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.

397 - The Importance Of Art in God’s Kingdom with Darrow Miller

Send us a text

When you look at all the difficulties facing the world today - like poverty, hunger, war, depression, and so on - it can be easy to think your calling to art doesn’t matter that much to the world.
But don’t despair! Your calling to be an artist is a calling from God, and that’s never a small or insignificant thing.
As my guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, Darrow Miller, will tell you, the arts can play a very important part in advancing the Kingdom.
His newest book, A Call For Balladeers, takes a close look at our worldviews as they relate to beauty and art and their role in the discipling of nations. So give a listen to the podcast for Darrow’s inspiring take on how God can use your art for His purposes.
And while you’re at it, go to https://disciplenations.org/ to see how Darrow and the Disciple Nations Alliance are advancing the Kingdom of God by discipling all nations. (And don’t forget to get your copy of A Call For Balladeers at https://disciplenations.org/resources/balladeers/.)

399 - Trusting God In Times Of Struggle with Rebekah Middleton

Send us a text

You know, being a Christian doesn’t mean every day is sunshine and lollipops. We have the same struggles in our lives as anyone else, and they can lead to heartbreak, anxiety, addiction, and all of the other negative outcomes you can think of.
What separates the Christian from everybody else, however, is our faith and belief that we have a loving God looking out for us who can help us through these dark times and troubles.
That doesn’t mean that He will always snap His fingers and make our problems disappear. It means that He will comfort us, walk with us, guide us to other people who can provide the help we need, and be there for us to turn to with whatever we’re facing.
As my guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist, Rebekah Middleton, was trying to find her place in the art world and the world altogether, she was also struggling with eating disorders. And one of the issues that this struggle brought about was a tendency to want to keep her art hidden away from the world just as she was coming into her own as an artist.
So how has she been able to get through this painful part of her life and embrace God’s calling? Take a listen to this episode of the podcast to hear Rebekah’s inspiring story.
And be sure to take a look at her website and social media to see what she’s been up to!
