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

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.

How do YOU respond to tragedy, struggles and difficulties? Many creatives spend their entire lives hiding their pain, pretending they aren't affected by trauma - only to fall apart later.  But there's a better way. 
Jessica Danel, podcaster and author of "Bucket List of a Redneck Girl", decided not to let her childhood struggles, near business failures and moments of doubt and fear go to waste. Instead, she shares her messy moments openly in her books and podcasts - and it's led to a new kind of creative freedom. 
In this episode, Jessica opens up about the moments that should have stopped her in her tracks on the way to accomplishing her bucket list of goals, and reveals why radical honesty is the only way to overcome life's struggles to achieve what God has for you. 
Press play to hear some incredible stories and find out how you can turn your hidden struggles into powerful lessons that others can learn from.

Pick a lane, niche down, master just one thing. That's the conventional path to success every creative has heard. But it's rarely that simple. And when you have multiple skills, you have to show up and overcome your imposter syndrome in not just one area, but multiple ones. So which is it? 
 Is working in multiple fields a path to confusion and failure as a creative? Or is God taking you on a unique path that actually breaks the mold?

To figure this out, we talk to Matt Evans - a comic, writer, visual artist and horse veterinarian. This episode answers the question on whether blending multiple careers and passions can actually help you find your unique God-given path as a creative, and how to repeatedly show up and overcome imposter syndrome when trying something new. 

Press play to hear from one of the most unique creatives you'll ever meet, so you can find out how your unique passions might be the perfect combination to fulfill your God-given purpose.

Most creators think that when God inspires you to start a creative project, success is just around the corner. They're sorely mistaken.

After starting God and Gigs, I (Allen) almost lost this podcast in 2017 — five months dark, no way back online. Now, 400 episodes later, I'm sharing the real story behind how this podcast made it through the early obstacles, and the three things that kept me going. Press play if you are a faith-fueled creative who is questioning if you should stick with your dream when nothing seems to be shifting in your favor.
