It’s so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that everything you do creatively somehow has to end up growing your business or advancing your ministry. And while that’s a noble idea, there is so much to be said for enjoying the creative process just for what it is; a time where you can enjoy expressing artistically what God has put on your heart while honoring Him with the gifts and talents He’s given you. My guest today on the Thriving Christian Artist Podcast, Jeanne Oliver, has a lot to share on this subject. Jeanne is an Artist, Influencer, and like myself, she’s been a mentor and encourager to creatives for years. You can connect with Jeanne online and learn more about all that she does at www. jeanneoliver.com.Take a few minutes to listen on your app of choice like ApplePodcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, GooglePlay or online at http://www.MattTommeyMentoring.com/podcastOk, enjoy the podcast!MattPS - Have you taken a moment to review the podcast yet on whatever app you’re listening on?
