307 - Waves of Creativity: A Conversation with Allen Arnold
December 07, 2021 05:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MB“…Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar — the LORD Almighty is His name.” Jeremiah 31:35 If ever there were a perfect metaphor for the mystery of creativity—for trying to understand the beauty, life, and order of the universe—it may just be ocean waves. Waves can be beautiful. Waves can be rough. Waves can move you gently or knock you off your feet. My friend Allen Arnold's latest book, Waves of Creativity, is dedicated to creatives who are trying our best to figure out how to st...
306 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Using QR Codes In Your Art Business
December 03, 2021 05:00 - 4 minutes - 3.31 MBRemember Blockbuster, Beanie Babies, Backstreet Boys? All popular with audiences in the late 90s to early 2000s, probably not coming back. In contrast, QR code marketing, once in decline, has become more popular than ever. It seems like everywhere you look, QR codes (those little black-and-white square barcodes) are appearing on everything - tickets, restaurant menus, product packaging, and more. Since 2020, with the need for touch-free solutions, they're becoming a go-to staple for sales...
305 - Your Voice Matters Because You Matter: A Conversation with Gina Morgano
November 30, 2021 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MBEveryone 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...
304 - 5-Minute Mentoring: The Promise of Sin
November 19, 2021 05:00 - 7 minutes - 4.91 MBWhen I was a kid, I remember my parents warning me that if I hung around with the “bad kids,” I’d be painted with the same brush, and people would think I was a bad kid, too. It wasn’t that they expected me to be a perfect angel - but they understood that as humans, we are susceptible to the influences around us, so controlling our environment was key to following God’s commandments and avoiding the temptation to sin. Your environment will always overcome your willpower. If your desir...
303 - Releasing Heaven's Creativity: A Conversation with Latimer Bowen
November 16, 2021 05:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MBI'm fascinated by God's “glory stories"—amazing testimonies of the grace and goodness of God. Artists who step out in faith and invite the Holy Spirit into their creativity are full of those stories. God's original glory story begins with creativity. In the beginning God created. Mankind was made in the image of our Creator; every single one of us is called to create. It's our collective calling… even when we're unaware of our creativity… even if we attempt to bury our creativity out o...
302 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Everyday Action
November 12, 2021 05:00 - 6 minutes - 4.65 MBDo you feel overwhelmed by the size of the vision God has given you? Does your destination seem like it’s a thousand miles away? Are you ready to ditch the overwhelm and step into the grace God has for you in this journey? Then you need to listen to this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast - so you can learn the secret. My dear friend and mentor Billie Ruth Sudduth recently passed away after 30 years as a distinguished basketry artist. She had an incredible career, leaving...
301 - The Simplicity of Saying Yes: A Conversation with Charles Ciepiel
November 09, 2021 05:00 - 40 minutes - 27.7 MBOver the years, I’ve noticed an interesting trend in the artists in the Thriving Christian Artist community. They discover how to trust the Lord and invite Him into their art… but they see creating a successful business as super-heroic - something out of their reach. But really...isn't a “superhero” just an ordinary person who's been drawn into an extraordinary situation? From the outside, God-inspired entrepreneurs and business owners can look as if they're living out amazing superher...
300 - 5-Minute Mentoring: What to Do When Nothing Is Working
November 05, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.21 MBHave you ever felt like your career - or your life - is taking one step forward...and two steps back? Like you’re pushing a giant boulder up a mountain and making little progress? Like you’re doing all you know to do, but nothing you do seems to move you any further ahead? It’s frustrating, confusing...and can make you want to throw up your hands and quit! My friend, I have been there more than once...so you are not alone! We all go through seasons when things just don’t seem to be go...
299 - Defying Discord: A Conversation with Marlita Hill
November 02, 2021 04:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBIf you’ve ever tried to pitch a tent, you know that tension and stretch is the difference between a tent that offers you protection from the elements...and just a pile of nylon and poles. The Bible talks about enlarging the place of your tent, which requires that same tension in order to be successful. As an artist of faith, are you holding in tension both the dream and the hard work it takes to grow in what God has given you? This episode is one of the most thought-provoking conversatio...

298 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Raising Your Awareness of God's Presence.
October 29, 2021 04:00 - 5 minutes - 3.5 MBThere’s a holiday trend I’ve noticed recently where parents are encouraging potential gift-givers to consider giving their kids experiences like trips to the zoo, an afternoon movie outing, summer camp tuition, etc., rather than toys. As a parent who remembers all too well being surrounded by piles of “stuff” around the Christmas tree, I really appreciate this trend towards giving the gift of time and memories. The toys will break. The clothes will be outgrown. The games will lay forgotte...
297 - Brain Hacks for Renewing Your Mind: A Conversation with Dorothy J. Cook
October 26, 2021 04:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MBIt’s probably obvious that I’m passionate about both creating art and the process behind it. I'm also just as passionate about helping fellow artists experience breakthrough and transformation in their creativity. As Christian artists, we know the Word says that transformation comes through the renewing of our mind. Well, I've come to learn how God uses the beautiful operating system that He put inside us to bring transformation—the renewing of our mind through a powerful process called n...

296 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Overcoming Habitual Sin & Negative Patterns of Living
October 22, 2021 04:00 - 9 minutes - 6.76 MBIs there an area in your life that's become a stronghold for sin? It might show up as a negative coping mechanism or an addiction that you just can't seem to shake. I've been there. For many years, I dealt with patterns of pornography and religious performance. Both worked together to prevent me from getting to the fullness of God's plan for my life. Until I finally, by God’s grace, broke free. In this episode, I break down exactly how I was able to break free from these habitual sins ...
295 - How to Hear God's Voice: A Conversation with Taylor Jensen
October 20, 2021 04:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBIf you believe that God can create through you, that He can speak to others through the medium of your artistic talents and ability, then you're going to want to listen to this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast! As artists who desire to partner with God in creating Prophetic Art, discerning God's voice is something that we must do - but that doesn’t mean it’s easy! In this episode we discuss all the details about hearing God's voice with my friend and guest, Taylor Jensen. ...
294 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Prophetic Percolation
October 15, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.01 MBI'm a major coffee fanatic. On any given morning you're going to find me in my comfy chair with my journal, sipping a delicious dark roast blend. As I savor the rich flavor and aroma, I appreciate that it doesn't just start in the cup. The journey from the tree to my coffee cup is a process. Coffee has to be grown, selected, dried, roasted, rested, ground, brewed – all before it becomes the heavenly beverage we're able to pour and partake in. From planting to percolating, we can appreci...
293 - Forged in Fire: An Conversation with Lonnie and Abby Alverson
October 13, 2021 04:00 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MBWherever you are in your journey as an artist in business, you can be sure that sooner or later, you will be tested, as if by fire. You'll be given an opportunity to step out in faith, beyond the limits of your own knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. It’s easy to say that we know that God will provide...but actually trusting Him enough to let go and step out in faith can be easier said than done. That's why it's a joy to introduce you to Lonnie and Abby Alverson of Hearth and Home Forge...
292 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Walking with a Limp
October 08, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.84 MBIn this world of glow-ups and the ‘Gram, it’s easy to think that everyone’s life is perfect, that nobody else struggles the way we do. But we know that the truth is, none of us is perfect. We all struggle - and those struggles have helped us become the people we are. If you want to be a leader in the arts – to have influence and be a blessing in the artist community – then others have to know you've been through some stuff. You have to talk about the battle that comes with the blessing...
291 - Renewing the Arts: A Conversation with Justus Stout
October 05, 2021 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBAs an artist in the church, do you find yourself in a peculiar place, navigating between two different worlds? Maybe you're a Christian with a vision for your work that doesn't fit in the "Christian art" box. You may also find yourself outside of mainstream support for the work God has called you to do. There was a time when the church was the primary patron of the arts and culture. Now artists are invited to leave extreme creativity at the church door. Maybe it's time to bring back old s...
290 - 5-Minute Mentoring: The Power of The Room
October 01, 2021 04:00 - 5 minutes - 3.98 MBHave you ever experienced the power of transformation by association? Years ago, someone told me, “Never underestimate the power of the rooms that you're in.” The rooms that you choose to live your life in really do matter. If you find out you're the smartest person in the room, then the smartest thing you can do is find a new room. If you continue to stay in the same room, around the same people, doing the same thing that you've always done, then you're going to get the same results or m...
289 - Beautifully Broken: A Conversation with Michelle Ruschman
September 28, 2021 04:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MBWhen I was a kid, the phrase “One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure” fascinated me. I imagined someone rifling through a trashcan and holding up a gold nugget in triumph. It’s entirely possible that I voluntarily took out the trash just for the chance to discover a treasure of my own. My guest on the podcast today uses her creative gifting to literally turn trash into treasure - a process she calls “Beautifully Broken.” Michelle Ruschman, the Prodigal Artist, is a fused glass artist...
288 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Changing Your Perspective
September 24, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.57 MBHave you ever gotten stuck in the “not enough” cycle? It happens to all of us - we burn dinner, we make a mistake at work, a painting doesn’t turn out the way we’d hoped, and suddenly we decide that we’re just not __________ enough. When it happens over and over, it’s enough to make you throw up your hands in defeat! There’s so much pressure! But what happens when someone sees your work and gasps, “Oh, my goodness! This piece blows my mind!” or someone takes a bite of your cookie and s...
287 - The Transformative Power of God: A Conversation with Bobbie Blakely
September 21, 2021 04:00 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MBWe talk about the transformative power of God moving through our art, but He doesn’t stop there! So much of the transformation we experience is through relationships - with those around us, with potential clients, with other artists, and more. That’s one of the reasons that I just love the story of my friend Bobbie Blakely, one of the most truly joyous people I know. Bobbie is a jewelry designer who uses her creative gifting to help others celebrate their victories in the Lord by taking w...
286 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Are Your Dreams Dead?
September 17, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.17 MB“A dream without a plan is just a wish.” - Katherine Paterson, author Do you ever feel like the dreams that you hold so dearly in your heart are just never, ever going to come to pass? That no matter how hard you work, things just aren’t panning out the way you want them to? When this happens, it’s easy to give up, to downgrade our dream to just a wish - because we don’t have a plan, to use Katherine Paterson’s metaphor. But here’s the thing - God has a plan for ALL our dreams! He has a...
285 - Walking Through Life's Seasons with Grace: A Conversation with Jan Lewis
September 14, 2021 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBJesus said that it rains on the just and unjust alike, and our ability to walk through the seasons of life - with grace, with faith, and with a “yes” in our hearts - really defines how we experience life and how we're able to walk in the goodness of God. One of the people who I've had the great privilege of the last 4+ years to watch do this very thing is Jan Thoreen Lewis, who has been part of our Created to Thrive Mentoring Program and is in our Mastery Program. Jan has walked through s...
284 - 5-Minute Mentoring: The Divine Tension
September 10, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.23 MBWe typically think of tension as a negative thing, right? Tension is where our fears are magnified, where our past mistakes replay in our mind, where the imposter syndrome kicks in. We’re usually trying to release tension in our lives, not create more of it! But tension can also create beautiful things. Think about the violin and other stringed instruments. The reason that sound is produced from the instrument is due to the tension that’s created between the wood and the strings. Witho...
283 - Moving Across the Bridge: A Conversation with Gena Kearn
September 07, 2021 04:00 - 18 minutes - 12.5 MBHave you ever stood in the middle of a suspension bridge when the wind kicked up? Talk about a bumpy ride! And even though you know logically that you’re safe, it doesn’t necessarily feel that way! Sometimes our journey to what God has called us to do can feel like that suspension bridge. Even when we trust in His plan, it can still make our knees a little weak! I’m excited to introduce you to my friend Gena Kearn, who is in our Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring Program and is at a plac...
282 - 5-Minute Mentoring: How God Releases Vision
September 03, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.43 MBWe artists talk a lot about the vision we have for our art. But what does it actually look like when God releases His vision into our lives? Is it a lightning bolt from the sky? Does He appear in a dream? I think it’s less about the vehicle and much more about us. I believe the Lord releases His vision to us in two ways - and I’m sharing more about those two ways on today’s episode of 5-Minute Mentoring! If you’re looking for that design, for that vision that God has for your life, then...
281 - In the Spirit: A Conversation with Don Potter
August 31, 2021 04:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBEven if you don’t know Don Potter by name, you have definitely heard his music. For decades, he was a very successful musician and music producer in Nashville, contributing to over 100 best-selling albums of country music stars who are now household names, such as the Judds, Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, Hank Williams Jr., Trisha Yearwood, and Willie Nelson. But it wasn’t until the Lord changed the direction of his life in the late 90s that I came to know Don as an incredible worship leade...
280 - 5-Minute Mentoring:Created by the Creator to be Creative
August 27, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.66 MBAs we close out this month-long celebration of the 10th anniversary edition of my first book, “Unlocking the Heart of the Artist,” I want to end with the beginning - or, more specifically, the forward of the book, which was written by my good friend, mentor, and spiritual father, Ray Hughes. Ray captures so perfectly the spirit of this book and how we, as artists, are not just blindly following some prescribed plan for our lives. God actually created us to be creative, and by pursuing ou...
279 - Creativity, Anointing & Influence: A Conversation with Simon Bull
August 24, 2021 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBMarian Wright Edelman said, “You can’t be what you can’t see,” and in my experience, that statement is true on so many levels. I’ve mentored thousands of Christian artists over the years, and I’ve noticed that many of them didn’t have a clear picture in their heads of what it actually looks like to be a Thriving Christian Artist - so they struggled to achieve that goal. That’s actually one of my goals with this podcast - to introduce you to Christian artists around the world who are trul...
278 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Embrace Community
August 20, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.28 MBTake a look around you. How strong is your community? I don’t mean just people who live in your town - I mean a caring community that supports, encourages, and takes care of each other in good times and bad. Maybe it’s your church, your Sunday school class, your book club, or your core group of high school friends. Maybe it’s an online community of people you’ve never met in person but who are your biggest cheerleaders. We are not designed to walk through difficulty, healing, or fulfill...
277 - Creating Prophetic Art: A Conversation with Grace Bailey
August 17, 2021 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MBI’ve heard it said that it’s one thing to be a tourist - but it’s another to be a traveler. A few years ago, I had the chance to spend a month “Down Under” in the beautiful country of Australia, meeting incredible artists, teaching workshops, and speaking and sharing about prophetic art with the amazing people I met there. During the week in which I was teaching a basketry class, I got to put on my traveler hat and experience life as the Australians do, thanks to Grace Bailey and her husban...
276 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Release the Dreamer Inside
August 13, 2021 04:00 - 5 minutes - 4.06 MBWhen you were a kid, did adults tell you to “stop dreaming and get your head out of the clouds?” What those adults didn’t understand is that dreaming is essential for creating art - and even more so for creating prophetic art. God releases the dreamer inside all of us, opening our eyes to possibilities that we’d never dare to imagine without him. As Christian artists, dreaming is in our very DNA, and it is through dreams that God reveals the secrets of His Kingdom. In today’s podcast, I’m...
275 - Prophetic Creativity: A Conversation with Caleb Culver
August 10, 2021 04:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MBI’ve been involved in music my whole life. My mother was a music and choral teacher, and she had me singing in church and community groups as soon as they had a robe that would fit me. And I’ve always been grateful for that foundation in music because it’s also been such a big part of my relationship with the Lord. Nothing allows me to get into God’s presence and feel His pleasure and love for me as worship music. That’s why it’s such a pleasure to introduce you to Caleb Culver on the po...
274 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Discover the Father's Heart for You
August 06, 2021 04:00 - 5 minutes - 4.05 MBExciting 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...
273 - Sacred Streets: A Conversation with Jason Leith
August 03, 2021 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MBArtists have been using the power of art to bring people together, to express complicated emotions, and to communicate across languages and cultures for millennia. As Thriving Christian Artists, we seek to release God’s transforming power through our own art in many different media. That’s why I am so excited about to introduce you to Jason Leith, Arts Director and Pastor at Saddleback Church in Orange County, California to share with us about Sacred Streets, a ministry that is transformin...
272 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Knowing When to Raise Your Prices
July 30, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.52 MB“Your prices are too low!” they say. “You need to raise them!” But that’s easier said than done! In today’s episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I’m sharing some clues you can look for to know when - and how - to raise your prices to ensure that you’re building in profit so you can sustain and grow your art business. Are you an artist struggling to price your art in a way that feels authentic to you but still returns a profit? Check out my new book and resources below for help! How to Pri...
271 - Pricing Your Artwork - Artist Stories
July 27, 2021 04:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MBAs we’ve talked about in the last few episodes of the podcast, pricing your artwork can be a real pain in the derriere. It’s a common frustration I hear from followers and students alike, and one I experienced as I developed my art business, too… ...until I finally discovered the formula and strategy that allowed me to price my work easily and competently with profit in mind. 🙌 That’s why on today’s podcast, I’m sharing some key strategies that will make pricing your art so much easie...
270 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Commissions, Consignment & Wholesale, O My!
July 23, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.32 MBSelling your art on commission, consignment, or wholesale can be a great way to expose new potential customers to your art and grow your client base and revenue. However, when you first start selling your art, all the terminology can be overwhelming. Never fear! In this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, I’m breaking down exactly what it means to create and sell art on commission, consignment, or wholesale. The key to all of this, of course, is to make sure you’re pricin...
269 - Generational Creativity: A Conversation with Christine Raymond
July 20, 2021 04:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MBOne of the things that’s closest to the Lord’s heart is generational impact, that the work of our hearts and hands doesn't end with us - that it will continue to the next generation. That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to Mary, Christine, and Caitlin, three talented artists who have created a multigenerational art business that has blessed customers, clients, and other artists for 30 years now. It’s amazing all the powerful things you can do when you co-labor with the Lord and whe...
268 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Should I Ever Give a Discount?
July 16, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 4.85 MBSome people just love to haggle. They enjoy the thrill of the hunt for a great deal. They LOVE getting a discount. They’ll ask for discounts on everything - just in case the answer is yes! A lot of artists think that they have to offer a discount to get someone to buy their art - but it’s not true, and it’s not good for your business! Remember, a discount takes money right out of your pocket - and that makes your job as a business owner even harder! If you’ve been tempted to discount y...
267 - The Artist as Storyteller: A Conversation with Scott Stearman
July 13, 2021 04:00 - 45 minutes - 31.3 MBWhen I received my commission from the Lord back in 2009 to raise up an army of artists all over the world, one of the things that He told me I would be doing was bringing the master artists and emerging artists together to learn from and walk with each other. That’s why I’m delighted to introduce you to my friend Scott Stearman, a master sculptor, consummate encourager, and passionate storyteller who loves to use his creative gifting to release the Light and Love of Jesus wherever he goe...
266 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Are You a Slave to Your Business?
July 09, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 4.91 MBWhen I first started my art business, I was in “hustle mode.” I was working 6-7 days a week, burning the midnight oil, and creating art that was selling - but that wasn’t bringing me any joy. It wasn’t until I realized that I needed to make my business work for me - and not the other way around - that I finally discovered the life God meant for me to live. On this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, we’re talking about how to avoid letting your business run the show, and I’ll share the two t...
265 - It is What You Make of It: A Conversation with Justin McRoberts
July 06, 2021 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBEver heard that saying, “It is what it is?” It’s often said in the context of something that we can’t change, something that feels too big for us to tackle. My guest this week, Justin McRoberts, is determined to change this sentiment from “It is what it is” to “It is what you make of it.” In this episode of The Thriving Christian Artist podcast, Justin and I talk about how when we’re tempted to throw up our hands and say “It is what it is,” what we really need to do is to throw up our h...
264 - 5-Minute Mentoring: The Power of Profit
July 02, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.3 MBDo you grapple with the tension of being creatively authentic and actually making a living from your art? Can creative authenticity and profit actually live together in harmony? They absolutely can - and they should! Profit is one of the most powerful things you can build and grow in your art business today. That’s why on today’s episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, we’re talking about the three benefits that profit brings to your business - so don’t miss it! Want to learn more about how...
263 - Understanding Prophetic Creativity: A message from Matt Tommey
June 29, 2021 04:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MBOne of the biggest misconceptions that a lot of artists carry is the idea that creativity is outside the realm of God’s Kingdom, that it’s “extra” or ancillary. But here’s the thing: creativity is what manifests God’s Kingdom - not the other way around. It’s how we connect with the abundant life that Jesus designed for us, and it’s how we see the transformative power of God begin to flow in and through our lives. In today’s episode, I’m bringing this message from a recent sermon I preach...

June 25, 2021 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.48 MBHave you ever wondered what it means to prophesy with your art, to create with the Holy Spirit, and to see God use your art in powerful ways to touch others?

261 - Writing Your Own Success Story: A Conversation with Michelle Kulp
June 22, 2021 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBEver thought about writing a book? Today on the podcast, I’m talking with my friend Michelle Kulp, a paralegal-turned-bestselling author who helps people tap into and write their story and share it with the world. Even if you think “But Matt, I’m an artist, not a writer! I couldn’t write a book!,” take a listen to my conversation with Michelle. Michelle and I share our tips, our process, and our lessons learned along our own book journeys that will help inspire you to uncover the book th...
260 - 5-Minute Mentoring: What Is Prophetic Art?
