In this episode of the podcast, I explore the idea of “arrows in your quiver”. You know, the skills you don't think you'll ever need but that can transform your photography when the moment comes. From studying artificial lighting to better understand natural light, to learning portraiture for gesture and expression, to digging into photographic history for inspiration, these extra skills expand your creative toolkit. The more arrows you carry, the more prepared you are to adapt, experiment, and grow in your work.

on todays show the Giant Preacher Gang talk about the biblical story of Elisha and the king of Israel, focusing on the importance of obedience and enthusiasm in prayer. The king, after shooting an arrow symbolizing God's deliverance, was instructed to strike the ground with arrows, representing battles. His tentative strikes limited his victories to three. The conversation emphasized the need for persistent, enthusiastic prayer, and the consequences of half-hearted obedience. They also touched on the value of tithing, the persistence in prayer, and the importance of faith and obedience in achieving spiritual victories. Don't Miss it!
