    Stay Consistent or Pivot? What to Do When Your Creator Career Feels Stuck

    Are you being faithful to your process, or are you just stuck in a loop? In this episode, we answer the difficult question of what to do when you feel like your growth and impact has hit a ceiling.  Many Christian creators feel guilty about changing their strategy because they believe consistency means doing the exact same thing forever. But there is a huge difference between healthy consistency and dangerous stagnation. You'll learn in this episode how to honor your gift by making small, strategic adjustments instead of quitting entirely.  You don’t have to change everything—you just need to stop repeating what isn't working. In this episode, you’ll learn: The spiritual difference between  "faithful" and "staying stagnant"Why God honors thoughtful growth over blind repetitionHow to make "micro-pivots" to fix your workflow without breaking your momentumThe warning signs that you need to adjust your content strategy right nowDiscover Your Unique Creator Mindset  Take our quiz to find the right strategy for your personality:  https://godandgigs.com/quiz Tap to send us a text!

    The Danger of Letting Perfectionism Stop Your Progress (Reflections from Podfest)

    Could perfectionism and comparison ruin your greatest opportunity before you even get to enjoy it?  If you let it, your desire to be 'perfect' might be the thing that robs you of the ability to show up confidently and authentically - and I (Allen) learned this from experience.  I'm letting you into a vulnerable moment right before I spoke for an audience of podcasters at Podfest 2026, the largest independent podcaster conference in the world. In this honest reflection, you'll discover how perfectionism and comparison can stop you from showing up as the God-gifted artist and creator you are - which keeps others from seeing all you have to offer.  If you'd like to see the slide presentation and links that we shared with the Podfest audience, head to https://allencpaul.com/podfest  Tap to send us a text!
