Special Guest Jake Griggs, Fine Art Prophetic Sculptor. Dionne continues the conversation on Cultivating and Stewarding Inspiration and you are in for a treat with this episode!  She welcomes Fine Art Prophetic Sculptor Jake Griggs of Jake Griggs Sculpting.  The conversation started out with a little technical difficulty but we conquered that and were able to capture the heart and passion of Jake's work and hear about his incredible yet somewhat "normal" journey as a son of God and a husband and father. He shares the journey of the struggle and the triumph and lets us in on a personal God encounter moment. Jake worked in the Oil Fields of Texas, went to bible school and was a successful pencil artist but the Lord led him to operate in a place of upgrade, blessing, success and influence for the Kingdom of God. He turned to sculpting and honed his craft, blessing others with art as a prophetic message from the Lord for them. It was years before he truly saw the "fruit of his labor" in his heart and his art. The Lord taught him how to be a farmer of the word and his craft. He now has a successful sculpting business and ministry where he travels to bring the message of the Gospel and His divinely inspired creations to the fields. The harvest is ripe my friends! This story will no doubt inspire you to keep persevering on the path of faith and creativity.   Check out his art gallery and connect with Jake at www.jakegriggssculpting.com and on facebook at Jake Griggs Sculpting. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dionne-white/support

In this episode Dionne talks about Cultivating and Stewarding Inspiration and how we have to guard it fan it contemplate it And our connection and health of our relationship with God is key to all of it and it shows in our art. She discusses something she calls exhausting or thoroughly examining topics or creative projects. This can put us in a place of "Divine Frustration" but if we persevere through the transition and yield to the "frustration" it will produce incredible results. She describes inspiration to striking a match and how if we just watch it burn and not steward it, the inspiration will not manifest and it will burn out and have been just a nice thought. She touches on a challenging subject of abandoning ship early or stopping before we reach the blessing and likens this to the story in the bible in John chapter 5 - The man by the pool of Bethesda. She shares her very real and vulnerable points of her own story of how she has to guard herself against self sabotage mentally, emotionally, and aristically as she calls out the thief of comparison and how the struggle of this is very real for artists. This informative yet challenging message will stir you to go deeper both in connection with God and thoroughly examine creative avenues so we are walking in integrity with greater character. Her hope is that a spark is ignited in you to go deeper and blow on the coals of your inspired soul! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dionne-white/support

In this episode, I identify something I call "The Holiday Ball". That frantic cycle of process and productivity that can make you feel overwhelmed this time of year. I discuss Identifying mindsets about "value" and the "push to please" on demand. By choosing to focus on value over volume we take the focus off of revenue and define the true meaning of value. Searching for the deeper and greater meaning of art and artists - learning to appreciate the gift and the "Gifter". I compare this understanding and mindset to a parable about "rare value" "The Pearl of great Prize” and the pressure and process it must go through to be of value. Learning that "Pressure without growth is purposeless". Speaking from personal experience. I hope you enjoy this insightful message from my heart. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dionne-white/support
