437 - What Makes Someone A Real Artist? With Connie Noftsier -   05/30/2023

Podcast Number: 437

Podcast Release Date:  05/30/23

Podcast Description 


Connie Noftsier is a busy woman.  

She embroiders amazing fiber art nature sculptures, she owns a local bed and breakfast, she teaches classes, and she has been both a landscape designer and a women's pastor at her church.  In fact, she has had so many things on her plate over the years, it's a wonder she ever has time to try anything new, but she finds a way!   

It's exactly this "can-do" spirit in her that led her to try out the Artist Rise Up masterclass, where she came to realize just how important her art is in her life.  Next thing you know, she's joined our Created To Thrive Artist Mentoring Program, knocked out all of the training modules, and embraced her role as an artist in God's Kingdom!     

Take a listen to this episode to get a sense of what the Mentoring Program can do for all kinds of artists.  Connie talks about some of the benefits, both tangible and intangible, of being in the program.  If you're on the fence about whether to join Created To Thrive, going "backstage" with Connie is going to get you excited about the possibilities.

436 - How Do I Know If My Work Is Good Enough To Sell? 05/23/2023

Podcast Number: 436

Podcast Release Date:  05/23/23

Podcast Description 


Being a professional artist, by definition, requires you to sell your art.  Selling your art requires buyers to be interested enough to shell out actual money so they can take your work home.  And getting buyers interested requires your art to be good - really, really good. 

But we aren’t always the best judges of our own work, so it’s hard for an artist just starting out to look at a piece and say, “Yep, that’ll sell.”  What artists need are guidelines they can follow to objectively determine whether their art is good enough to sell.  

As a long-time professional artist myself, I’ve picked up a lot of the ins and outs of the business, and I usually have a good idea of what’s going to sell.  And in this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I share my three best ways artists can use to determine if their art is good enough to sell in today’s market.  Check it out!

435 - When God Upsets the Status Quo with Heidi & Guy Mitchell
 Heidi & Guy MItchell 

Podcast Number: 435

Podcast Release Date:  05/16/23

Podcast Description 

Heidi and Guy Mitchell, my guests on this episode of The Thriving Christian Artist, have a very unique place in God’s kingdom.  They have heard God’s call together as a couple, and it has led them to combine their gifts in music and art into something very special.  

Their journey certainly hasn’t always been easy.  In obedience to God’s word, they gave up their other successful endeavors to create their art in His name.  This lean period helped them learn to trust in God in all things, to be faithful with His gifts, and to be sure of His provision.  

Now their faithfulness has allowed them to share what God has given them, including His prophetic word, all over the world!  

So take a listen to this episode, hear their incredible story, and see how one’s obedience to God can have a ripple effect that spreads His glory farther than you can possibly imagine.  

And if you want to find out more about the Mitchells and see what the Lord is doing in their lives, you can send them an email, check out their website, or find them on YouTube!
