What if the thing you call your “day job” is actually supposed to complement - not compete with - your creative calling?

In this episode, you’ll meet Chris Whittington—a steel industry executive with over 20 years in the corporate world who has also built a lifelong career as a recording artist, session musician and worship leader. Instead of choosing between business and music, Chris has learned how to balance both as dual callings.

You’ll hear how to integrate faith, creativity, and career without burnout, why your 9-to-5 might be funding your purpose, and how to stay obedient to God while navigating business leadership and artistic expression.

If you’re a Christian creator, entrepreneur, or musician trying to balance your career and your calling, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on what it really means to build a purpose-driven life.

Ever felt like your creative life depends on doing ALL the things - by yourself?

In this episode, we take an honest look at the isolation many creators experience and why trying to carry every responsibility on your own eventually leads to burnout.

You’ll learn how to start finding that support—even if it feels like no one around you understands what you’re building

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck trying to do everything yourself, this conversation will help you rethink how community can change the way you build your creator life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why the “do it all yourself” mindset quietly drains your creative energy
• Where you can begin finding support, even if you feel isolated right now
• How connecting with other creators creates opportunities you can’t create alone
• A healthier approach to collaboration that replaces desperation with partnership
• Why your team should grow as your creative vision grows

She built it. It worked. And then God asked her to let it go.

In this episode, we sit down with Joleen Steel — minister, former music studio owner, and co-leader of Camping Stick Kids — to talk about what it really means to build something that grows God's Kingdom while also stretching your faith and your creative gifts.

You'll learn how to create a purpose-filled brand without tying your identity to it, thinking bigger for the Kingdom without chasing fame, and trusting God when the next step feels larger than your comfort zone.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between what’s working… and what God may be asking you to build next, this conversation is for you.
