    There’s really no way I’ll be able to adequately explain how impactful this podcast has been for me in a review, but I’d like to at least try to sincerely thank you for the series. I grew up knowing I was made for creative purpose, but was told over and over that art isn’t a wise pursuit, we don’t need artists in the places God was taking me, and that I was “fooling around” and selfishly “wasting time” by spending countless hours immersed in it. While I outwardly rejected those notions, there wa... more

  • So much gold for artists!

    I found this show from Matt’s website last week. I wish that I would have known about this podcast years ago when I started painting at church and struggling to define if it’s a hobby or vocation for me and what a good kingdom mindset is for a Christian artist. I’m going back and getting the gold from the beginning. This has been extremely helper for me as he breaks down all parts of arts (business, etc) and Christian principles. You definitely feel the compassion for his listeners and the joy h... more

  • Encouraging, practical and thought-provoking

    Matt does a great job of addressing both practical and emotional challenges faced by artists in their art business journey. That he does so from a Christian perspective, with deep understanding of the God-artist relationship as it’s designed to be, makes his insights all the more relevant.

  • Great Host and Guests

    Matt has so many great guests on the. Each one is something different to say. everyone of his guest has their own nuggets we can learn from. I enjoyed listening to a recent podcast with Allen Arnold. He had some great thoughts about inviting God to be with you as you create and to create out of union with God. I like that idea.

    And even when he doesn’t have a guest and just does his Five Minute Mentor pieces, they’re always great to learn from. Thank you for the podcast, Matt!

Overcoming Self-Doubt & Finding Confidence in God: An Interview with Denise Clark Weston
Q: Talk about that part of your story, because I think a lot of people can understand that, that, hey, I love Jesus, I'm on the road trying to walk with Him, I'm doing my art, and yet there are these patterns in my life, these, I guess, empty cisterns, right? They keep running dry in my life that I keep running to, that are not serving me, but I don't necessarily know how to do anything else. So talk about that part of your life as you feel led.
Denise describes growing up with a lack of communication in her home and how this affected her self-esteem.
