Hello and welcome to Faith and Famous the Podcast! Join us as your host Alan Shires interviews actor, director and writer Sarah LeJeune whose credits include Amazing Grace, Lifemark and Deadly Sins to name a few.
Sarah grew up in a Christian household, and she knew from a very young age about the significance of a relationship with Christ. It was in her early 20's that after a wrestle with God about her career that she layed down her talents and gifts and projects to Him, and let Him take over. Today she is an actor, director and writer who is passionate about glorifying God in all that she does!
Sarah shares the importance of having faith and surrounding yourself with people of faith, a tribe, who pray for you, who you can pray for, and who you can stand together with particularly during times where God appears to be silent and is working in the background!
Sarah also talks about the importance of knowing your talents and gifts, emphasising that we are all different! So we can bring them together to do God's work and glorify all that God can do together! From this, Sarah has created resources to help others in her non-profit Project Brickworks with her mom who help to connect people with those different gifts and talents to the Lord and to one another, understanding that connection is everything!

Hello and welcome to Faith and Famous the Podcast! Join us as your host Alan Shires interviews Actor, Director and Producer Brett Varvel, known for Running the Bases, American Underdog and Pursuit of Freedom.
 
Brett at 5 years old gave his life to Jesus and since that day has passionately pursued him. He was also captivated by the movie Back to the Future, which led him to his passion of filmmaking and acting which he does today! His first short film was created to depict his coming to Christ and his journey which came first place in the state, and at the award ceremony, incredibly, a janitor who had seen his film surrendered his life to Christ, leading Brett to undertand his purpose of creating films and using his gifts and talents to edify Christ and proclaim the gospel through film.
 
Brett shares advice to actors about how to stand out in auditions when you are a needle in a haystack so to speak! He also talks about the need for good headshots, but ultimately, the need to wait and trust in the Lord through the whole process.
