    The #1 Reason Christian Creators Stay Stuck (And Don’t Even Know It)

    Are you doing ALL the things the gurus tell you to do...yet you're not making ANY progress as a Christian creator?  You've stayed faithful, you've posted, you've planned, you've been praying.  But your goals feel even more out of reach.  The reason isn't talent, or even your faith. It's your community - or your lack of it.  In this episode, we point out why having a strong, aligned creator community is the number one thing holding most Christian Creators back - and how you can fix this issue so you can achieve the goals God placed in your heart.  Tap to send us a text!

    Is It a Mistake for Christian Creators to Keep a Traditional Job?

    You've heard it over and over - "take the leap of faith"..."pursue your passion"... ...and all of the voices seem to say that being a creator is all or nothing.  If you have a 'backup' or traditional 9-to-5 job, somehow, you're not doing it right.  In an age where so many options are available to creators to help them monetize and grow careers, the pressure is on many faith-focused, well-meaning Christian creative people to leave their jobs and try to earn their living strictly from their creative gifts.  Is that true? Or is it a flawed perspective that gets people to take steps they don't have to take?  We explore why the "full-time creator" might not be for everyone in this episode.  Want more help with making the decision?  Try our resource - 4 Questions to Ask before Going Full-Time Tap to send us a text!

    Should Artists Look Into LinkedIn? (The Benefits That Creators Don't Recognize)

    Think LinkedIn is just for job seekers or corporate professionals?  That perspective might be costing you daily, every time you don't show up there.  In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on why LinkedIn is quickly becoming one of the most powerful platforms available to creators — musicians, podcasters, writers, and artists alike. While the majority of creators are chasing trends on Instagram or TikTok, LinkedIn offers a fresh way to build meaningful relationships, connect with decision-makers, and open doors that actually matter.  Plus, you'll get a sneak peek at an upcoming masterclass with LaShonda Brown, where you’ll learn how to jump into LinkedIn confidently and authentically, building networks that fuel your creative career. Whether you’re skeptical or just curious, this episode will change how you think about LinkedIn — and give you the inspiration you need to show up in on a platform that will reward your creativity and authenticity with opportunities for income and influence.  Tap to send us a text!
