I probably don't have to tell you this, but…social media isn't giving you the full story.  It's really easy to play the comparison game when you see people (successfully) selling their art online. I'm guilty of it, too.  The truth is, most artists don't JUST sell on social media. More than likely, they're using multiple channels to show their work to potential buyers. It's never JUST about posting a picture of your work and watching the bids roll in. So, what about you? Are you relying solely on social media to sell your work? Well, then…it's time to shake it up! Tune in to get a few different ideas for diversifying your artist's income. P.S. This episode is full of some of my best tips for selling your work. Once you're done listening (and have a better idea of what you want to do next), check out the FULL show notes library to learn more about each idea.

Artists often find it hard to sell and market their work. They face a big challenge. Art is deeply personal and subjective by nature, so traditional marketing and business strategies don't always apply. That's why artists often end up at a crossroads. They're seeking a path that honors their artistic integrity while also allowing them to bring in a decent income. So how can artists create a profitable art practice without compromising their creativity?    In this week's episode, hosts Dr. J.J. Peterson and April Sunshine Hawkins discuss how artists can use the StoryBrand framework to sell their art without giving up their creative values. They show artists how to make money from their work and avoid the "starving artist" stereotype by using smart marketing strategies. So if you're an artist (or know someone who is), you'll love this episode! Listen in and learn how to position yourself well in the market and make a great living from your art.   Want to download and read J.J.'s Ph. D. dissertation?

On this week's Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have the lovely Marina Granger with us. Our host Charuka and Marina have a very fascinating conversation where they talk about feng shui, morning rituals, EFT tapping, and creating a stellar elevator pitch. Marina is an art consultant and founder of The Artist Advisory. She talks about practicing feng shui, and how her holistic approach has benefitted her in her creative life as well. For Marina, her mornings start with recording a voice memo, which consist of three steps: talking about what she is grateful for, what her intentions for the day are, and what her future dreams are. She talks about her dreams and intentions in present tense, as if they already have happened. According to her, it's a good strategy as the mind is too gullible, and making such affirmations can truly help one achieve their dreams. Marina loves to help artists out so they can realize the best strategy to carve their own path. She provides an excellent take on how artists can curate their elevator pitch, which consists of telling the clients why you do what you do, and what makes you special. In a world where selling your craft and your art can be tricky, it's always a good idea to have a fresh approach towards curating your image!   Born in Ukraine, Marina moved to New York when she was seven. Marina has 15 years of experience working in the museums and galleries in New York City. With a master's degree in Art History, she has worked with artists, curators, dealers, collectors, and consultants. She shares that if she would ever have the option to open her own gallery, it would have to be in New York city! Tune in to this week's podcast and listen to Marina talk about the artists and art world in detail!

Ep 017: When You're a Christian But Feel Like a FraudPodcast Number: 017Podcast Release Date:  07/28/2023 Podcast Description Have you ever experienced imposter syndrome?  It's that feeling you may get that if the people around you knew the “real you,” they would shun you, reject you, or call you out for being a fraud.  It can be overwhelming and debilitating, and it can prevent you from pursuing good things out of fear.  This fear comes straight from the enemy trying to break down your identity and convince you to agree with his lies.  In this episode of God's Plan for Living, I tell you about a time where I felt overwhelmed by imposter syndrome, what I did about it in the short term (not my finest hour), and what I've learned to do about it in the long term.  That's the good news.  As with any other attack the enemy throws at you, you can overcome this by bringing your fear to the Lord.  Take a listen to this episode and I'll tell you how.  ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom LifeMost Christians want to live the abundant life Jesus promised - they just don't know how (and it's not for lack of trying!).

445 - How Christian Artists Can Thrive Through Mentoring with Rachel and Ben Hilliker Podcast Number: 445Podcast Release Date:  07/25/23Podcast Description I truly believe that the Lord puts our spouses in our lives not to mirror us or echo us, but to complete us.  That's certainly been the case with me and my wife, Tanya.Collaborating with your spouse on a creative venture or business venture can be a challenge - lots of push-and-pull, and feedback that may feel a bit too honest at times.  But if you stick with it, adjust your expectations, and remember that you are on the same team, it can lead to beautiful, successful results you can both be very proud of.  Rachel and Ben Hilliker experienced this when they began collaborating on writing projects.  Their first book, “God's Masterpiece: Identity Truths for Children,” came to fruition with inspiration from the Holy Spirit, some quality time teaching their kids at the breakfast table, and a loving understanding of how they can work together to accomplish great things.  Rachel and Ben are my guests on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, where they talk with me about their journey and take me backstage for how the Lord has led them to places they never anticipated going.  Check it out!   And be sure to look for their books - “God's Masterpiece: Identity Truths for Children” and “God's Masterpiece: A Parent and Child Handbook on Identity “- on Amazon.  You can also find the books at their website:  https://book.rachelhilliker.com/  ===================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

444 - The 3 Numbers You Need To Know In Your Art Business Podcast Number: 444Podcast Release Date:  07/18/23Podcast Description Do you realize how much of the art business is dependent on numbers?  I'm not talking about the “golden ratio” or even about color-by-numbers sheets (remember those?).  I'm talking about what I call the TLC Numbers:  traffic, leads, and conversions.  In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I break down what I mean by those terms and what those numbers can mean for you as a professional artist.  When you have a good grasp on your traffic, leads, and conversions, you can make adjustments to ensure that your art is seen and has its best chance to be sold.  The numbers may not be your favorite part of making art for a living, but they are very important.  So take a listen and make sure you're giving your TLC numbers the tender loving care they deserve.  ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

443 - Using Art To Move Through The Messy Middle with Sheila Atchley Podcast Number: 443Podcast Release Date:  07/11/23Podcast Description Sheila Atchley, my guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist, knows what it means to be in the “messy middle.”  As her life begins to move from one phase to another, as her nest begins to empty, as she transitions to what God has in store for her next, her creativity is there to keep her going.  Her first experiences with painting came as a way to process the hard, emotional times she was going through, and wound up leading her to a deeper connection with God and His grace.  And she's here to tell you that your “right-brained” creativity can do the same for you.  Sheila and I had a great conversation about how these periods of pain in all of our lives can lead us to feeling empty, sad, and helpless against inertia, but God can lead us out again even through the simple act of making things.  If you know what it's like to be in a painful place - and I'm afraid we all do - then my talk with Sheila will really resonate with you.  Listen to the podcast, and be sure to check out what the Lord is doing with Sheila's art at her website and social media.  www.sheilaatchley.art  https://www.instagram.com/sheilaatchleydesigns/ https://www.facebook.com/SheilaAtchleyDesigns ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

438 - The One Thing All Artists Struggle  06/06/2023In my many, many years as an artist and a mentor of artists, I've seen triumphs and challenges of every description.  And while every artist's story is different, there is one thing I have seen that can get in the way of any artist's success.I'll give you a hint: comparison.  Artists have a tendency to compare themselves to other artists and peers in a variety of different ways.  And when you start to make those comparisons, you're treading a path that has led many an artist to give up.  In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I go over why I think comparison is such a problem for artists, and how they can avoid falling into that trap.  It's an important lesson, and you should really take it to heart. ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

Looking back at my career as an artist so far, I'm not sure I would change a thing.  Sure, I've had ups and downs along the way, just as everyone else has.  But I'm exactly where God has put me, so how could I ask for anything more? That being said, there are a few things I wish I would have known when I was just starting out that may have saved me some struggles, both in mindset and in the realities of owning my own business.  In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I'm running down three things I wish I'd known when I was starting out.  Hopefully, they will give you a leg up as you go through your journey as an artist, an entrepreneur, or just a person trying to live your best life.  ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

Estelle Avbuere, my guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist, received encouragement from her parents at a young age to pursue the joys of the performing arts.  Dancing, singing, acting, crafting, and doing art projects were all a part of her childhood that she came to love and embrace as a part of herself. However, she didn't see those pursuits as a way she could live her life for the Lord in the way she felt like she should.  After much prayer and fasting and spending time with the Lord, asking Him what He is calling her to do, in time the voice of God told her that her calling has been in front of her the whole time - the performing arts! And that's how Estelle got on the path her life is on today.  She embraced God's calling and has dedicated her life to helping others hear and follow that same call. Through her podcast and other outlets, she is reaching out and encouraging people to surrender their fears and doubts to God and embrace His calling to sing, dance, perform, and create!  I really enjoyed my time talking with Estelle and I think you'll get a lot of encouragement out of what she has to say.  Take a listen!   And don't forget to check out Estelle's podcast, Creatively Performing Arts, as well as her website and social media linked below. https://creativelybyestelle.com/podcasthttps://creativelybyestelle.com/ https://www.instagram.com/CreativelyPerformingArts/ https://www.instagram.com/estelleavbuere/ ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art” Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

The first and most important thing when it comes to prophetic art - that is, art that God inspires you to create to advance His Kingdom - is to do God's will.  Paint that painting.  Sculpt that sculpture.  Create what God would have you create.Sometimes, though, prophetic artists do all that, but their art doesn't actually sell.  So why does that happen?  Are you not supposed to sell prophetic art?  Are there ways to improve your sales while staying true to your calling? In this episode, I discuss the realities of selling art, whether it's prophetic or not.  I believe there can be a connection between prophetic art and thriving in the professional art world.  In fact, I've written books about this, done hundreds of podcasts, coached countless artists… it's kinda my thing.

If you have ever wondered how to sell more art, this discussion is for you. This week, we dive into the topic of making sales in a discussion that touches on the importance of email marketing, the value of a good social media presence, and the need to reduce friction wherever possible. We both believe in the power of an effective launch, but we also believe that selling is not a one-time thing. The reality is that we are always selling ourselves and our work, and the only question is how well we do it. We share our secrets for ongoing marketing, including understanding our buyers; inviting people into our process; building relationships; and engaging people in conversation. We also discuss the need to constantly evaluate both our work and our sales strategies and agree on the importance of being remarkable. If you're interested in selling more of your art, we hope our conversation inspires you to take some new actions.

Coral Noel Yang has seen more of the world than most of us can imagine.  She was born and raised in Taiwan, studied filmmaking in America, put that education to use in Hollywood, and moved to New Zealand for a steady job at an animation studio.Along the way, she brought two things with her:  her love of God and her passion for creating art. Of course, the daily challenges of work and family made it hard to find time to express herself in her own art for quite some time, until the day God put it on her heart to shift her life's focus to her painting and other artistic endeavors.  In our talk on the podcast, Coral shares her story about God rekindling the flame of creativity within her and how she has been able to shift into her new role as a full-time, thriving artist.  You can take a look at Coral's art and keep up with what God's doing in her life on her website, Instagram, and Facebook. https://www.noelyangart.com/https://www.instagram.com/coralnoelyangart/ https://www.facebook.com/coralnoelyangart  ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my newest book, God's Plan for Living: A Simple Roadmap to Your IDEAL Kingdom Life.  Most Christians want to live the abundant life Jesus promised, they just don't know how.

For well over a decade I've dedicated my time and energy to raising up an army of artists in God's Kingdom.  I've taught countless artists how to thrive and experience the abundance of God with their art as a focal point.  But the principles I've learned and shared all this time don't just apply to artists.  They can apply to plumbers, teachers, car dealers, pharmacists… and to you!  That's why I've written my new book, God's Plan for Living.  This book, as well as the accompanying podcast that will be launching soon, is a vehicle to get the message of thriving in the Kingdom out to everybody, not just artists, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you.  So many Christians out there are frustrated about not seeing the Kingdom manifest in their lives the way they see it in the lives of others.  They aren't doing anything wrong, they just don't know how to experience the Kingdom.  That's why in God's Plan for Living, I'm sharing my I.D.E.A.L framework - identity, design, expansion, alignment, and love - to help you align with what God is calling you to do.   If you've been listening to my podcasts and thinking, “But Matt, I'm not an artist,” this is the book for you.  I want to encourage you to go ahead and buy a copy - the link is below - so we can work together on opening the doors of the Kingdom in your life.  I hope you'll join me on this journey!https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ4YL8YM ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”.

How do you feel about donkeys? (Stay with me here.)My guest on this episode of The Thriving Christian Artist is Rachel Ridge - artist, artist coach, creativity coach, author, speaker, blogger, mother, grandmother, and donkey wrangler.  Yes, donkey wrangler.  Her journey as an artist probably reflects a lot of your journeys as well (ok, maybe not the donkey part).  Starting with a very discouraging experience with a ninth-grade art teacher, she spent years of her life with no creative artistic outlet.  But once she did pick up some paints in her mid-30s, there was no stopping her.  Over time, she has developed a keen sense for how to use her time wisely.  To hear how she progressed in her journey as an artist, and how she is able to make time for all the things she loves in her life - including Flash the Donkey - you'll have to listen to this episode!  And you'll want to check out her website and socials to see what's going on in her creative life, including her upcoming book, The Donkey Principle.https://rachelanneridge.com/ https://twitter.com/rachelanneridge  https://www.instagram.com/rachelanneridge/ ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!   Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

Fear is the biggest challenge when it comes to money, especially if you don't have a lot.We are encouraged to be good stewards of the gifts God gives us, including our money.  But part of that good stewardship is investing wisely, like in the Parable of the Talents.  If you're too afraid to do anything but bury your Master's gift in the ground, you won't be able to reap the rewards that come with investment by faith.Now, I'm not saying you should throw what you have away on bubble gum and scratch-off tickets, but you can't be afraid to use your money as an investment in what you need in order to follow God's plan for your life.  So how can you walk that line between frugality and fear?  Take a listen to this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring and I'll tell you.  ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art” Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

You've heard the saying, “The Lord's work is never done.”  Well, let me tell you, that's the absolute truth! I've been following God's call in my life for years now to raise up an army of artists in the Kingdom, and the blessings that have flowed through that process have been more than I ever could have imagined.  If that was the only thing I did in this life, I would feel satisfied with my contribution to the Kingdom.  But God isn't satisfied with the status quo.  He has put it on my heart over the last couple of years to expand the way I reach out to people beyond the art world, beyond the podcasts and books and programs I've put together so far.  So that's what I'm gonna do.  This episode of the podcast is a little different from the norm, but I really want you to listen to it.  I'm going to lay out some changes to our programming here - don't worry, the podcasts aren't going away - and tell you about what's next for our life and ministry.  I hope you'll all come along on this journey with us.  Let's Stay Connected! - Click this link to stay in the loop on our latest updates on God's Plan for Living including the release dates for the podcast, book and course coming in 2023!”====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

Do you ever look at your to-do list, then at your calendar, and then think, “There's no way I'm going to find the time to get all this done.” That feeling is universal, I would say.  I would also say that it's especially prevalent when you have jobs and responsibilities that often need to come before the artistic endeavors you really want to sink your teeth into.  Looking at a whole plate of broccoli that you have to eat before you're allowed to have that mouth-watering brownie can be pretty frustrating.  So how can creatives find the time to create when they have so much else to do?  My guest on this episode  of The Thriving Christian Artist, Kimberly Gordon, has it all figured out.  Kimberly has managed to write and publish more than 10 books since age 46, all while raising children, homeschooling, and holding down jobs as necessary.  (And these aren't just little flappy pamphlets here.  These are, like, tomes.)  Take a listen to discover how she learned to faithfully manage the time she has to do everything she needs to do, including write.  You can find Kimberly's books on her website and on Amazon, and you can follow her on social media at the links below.  https://www.kimberlymgordon.com/ https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B01G5YFR9Shttps://twitter.com/KimGordonauthor https://www.facebook.com/Llynara ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

Beth Affolter was a successful professional artist until my podcast inspired her to quit art. No, really!  It's true! Despite making regular sales, Beth's art business wasn't fulfilling her.  Listening to my podcast got her thinking about what God was calling her to do, and she realized that it wasn't to push for perfection and wear herself down trying to create art that would sell.  After years of striving hard for success in everything she did (and largely finding it), she learned to just let go of it.  She learned to walk in the Kingdom in peace and faithfully follow God's plan for her.  Teaching, graphic design, mentoring, painting… all steps along her path that have led her to where she is now - teaching other people how to co-create with God while simultaneously teaching them to hone their skills. And now she's on the cusp of launching her own online courses and membership program, thanks to God leading her in a direction she never could have anticipated. If you want to be inspired to give God control and walk with Him in the Kingdom, you should listen to Beth's story on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast.  And be sure to check out Beth's website and socials here:  https://www.adventures-in-art.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bethaffolter/ https://www.facebook.com/beth.affolter ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art” Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

From the outside looking in, you would think a working artist would never get burned out or bored.  After all, who else gets to follow their passion and do the thing they love the most in the world and make a good living doing it?  But burnout and boredom are real obstacles that every artist has to overcome.Maybe you're working so much, preparing for shows, doing commissions, and all that, and it's just become so overwhelming that you want just put it all away for a while.  Or maybe you've hit a lull in your schedule and in your commission work and you just have to force yourself to get SOMETHING done to feel productive.  Many artists bounce back and forth between these two states without finding a happy medium, mostly because they don't know how to resolve the problem.In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I lay out my strategies for dealing with burnout and boredom in your life as an artist.  If you can put these tips into practice, you'll break out of your rut and get back into the good rhythms of being a successful working artist.  ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art” Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

I talk a lot about walking in the Kingdom, but it's not always easy to see what that looks like in the world we're living in now.  That's why it's especially encouraging to see someone who's doing it on a daily basis.   My guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, Greg Crawford, is a living example of what I'm talking about.   Greg is an author, entrepreneur, speaker, and planter of schools of ministry and Kingdom centers around the world.     Greg's out there listening to God's voice and responding in faith every day.  He has some amazing, unbelievable stories of how surrendering to God's will has helped him advance the Kingdom. You're sure to be inspired by Greg's example of how to live by faith, and I know you'll want to put some of his practices to work in your own lives.  And if you want to see what else Greg is doing in the Kingdom, you should check out his websites:https://thebaseiowa.org/   https://www.legacyschoolonline.com/ https://thebaseiowa.wordpress.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@GregCrawford ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art":Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you're not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

“Matt, how do I know when it's time to raise my prices?”  This is a great question - and one I get all the time.  After all, setting prices for your art involves a lot of different factors that can be hard to juggle - market comparisons, cost of living, your time and effort, and even your own sense of self-worth, to an extent.  To help you take the guesswork out of raising your prices, I've come up with three markers for artists to look out for, and I'm spelling them out in this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring.  Take a listen, and keep your eyes open for them to come into your life.  When you start to recognize these signposts, you'll know just what to do.  And if you want a deeper dive into how and when to raise your prices, check out my book, “How To Price Your Art: Pricing with Confidence for Sales & Profit,” which is available on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/How-Price-Your-Art-Confidence/dp/B097XBP733 ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣ Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Mistakes Artists Make When Pricing Their Art”Struggling to price your art in a way that feels authentic to you and your faith - but still makes you money?  Make sure you're not making any of these mistakes!
