The God and Gigs Show | Helping Christian Artists and Creatives Succeed Without Compromising Their Faith

Have you opened your Bible hoping for inspiration, revelation, or direction for your creative life - only to find yourself a little lost? 
If so, I want to know what you're feel that you're missing, so I can help with the solution. 
In this quick update episode, I (Allen) am sharing from on-site at the YouVersion Partner Summit in Oklahoma City, as I'm receiving some of the best content training possible from the people who built the world's most popular Bible app ( over a billion installs)
It's because of creators like you that I want to improve our current Bible plans and create new ones that will encourage and inspire you - and I need your input. 
Comment on this app, or email me at allen@godandgigs.com to let me know what you wish you could learn more about from the Bible re: your creative and spiritual growth.

Feel like it's impossible to chase a creative dream when marriage, kids, and full-time careers are already filling your life and schedule? While it's hard, it is possible - and one couple is proving it while creating a world of their own. 
In this conversation, nuclear engineer and veteran Lucas Fischhaber and his wife and co-author Shauna share how they maintain a multi-book writing project while carrying the load of raising a family and maintaining traditional jobs.  
You'll discover how a bedtime story became an epic fantasy series that they now are co-writing. You'll hear an honest and open conversation about doubt, how their creative work has changed their relationship, dealing with comparison, and how to choose a God-given creative calling over the easier road of settling for normal.
Press play to discover how to manage the challenge of building a marriage and family while simultaneously building a creative legacy that will outlast you. 

ABOUT OUR GUEST
Lucas Fischhaber is the author of Gathering Storms, the first book in the epic fantasy series Age of Wonder. As a Christian husband, father, Army veteran, and nuclear engineer, Lucas brings a unique perspective to storytelling, blending imaginative worldbuilding with themes of wonder, mercy, courage, and hope.

Together with his wife, Shauna, Lucas has built the world of Age of Wonder as a husband-and-wife creative team. Their work explores how faith can shape imagination, how stories can awaken wonder, and how fantasy can point readers toward beauty, truth, and goodness.

Reluctant to step forward and share your message? You may be cheating yourself and delaying God's blessings and opportunities. In this episode, you see how accepting God's call to create - no matter how scary - leads to favor and purpose in your life. 

Mark Osborne, host of The Valiant Forge podcast, had many issues to overcome in his life - a marriage on the brink, a health scare that challenged his discipline - but the biggest challenge was stepping into a role he thought was too much for him. Here he reveals what fear and insecurity nearly kept him from experiencing - and why you should be willing to take the big leap when God calls for obedience. 
Press play and be inspired and motivated - no matter how unqualified you feel. Mark's story will prove that you can have a bigger impact than you realize.

Many creatives - maybe even you -  sometimes think that being talented is enough to carry a person from struggle into purpose. Unfortunately, time after time, we discover that talent can not be your foundation. 
Grammy-nominated arranger and jazz trumpet veteran Fletch Wiley joins me to share how God radically changed his life and delivered him from drug addiction in just twelve hours — and how that transformation set him on a path straight into the band of gospel legend Andrae Crouch and a myriad of new opportunities. 
Hit play and let's dive in.

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.
