    If you've been told you can't succeed in the arts and content creation space without niching down...this episode explains why you should ignore that advice.  Multi-Passionate Christian creatives often struggle to find a space where they can feel comfortable exploring multiple areas of their gifting, and that was the place that I (Allen) found myself years ago as I began writing God and Gigs - the book that launched this platform.  Now, 10 years later, I've been voted in to speak at a major podcast conference.  How did these passions intersect between writing, ministry, music and podcasting - and how can you find an equally unique path to creative success?  In this episode I offer three strategic mindset shifts that can help you find your way even if you've been struggling to see a path that feels right for you. Press play and see what 10 years of balancing multiple creative interests can teach you.  Tap HERE to read our blog on Being an Integrated Creative   Tap HERE to send us a text!
