The Thriving Christian Artist

What's the strangest place you've found inspiration for your art?  For Bert Ballou, my guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, inspiration came from a wise-cracking donkey on an adventure with a grumpy, green ogre.  On a rewatch of the animated children’s classic, Shrek, Bert was rather surprised to hear God telling him to write a children's story about the donkey Jesus rode into Jerusalem.  But the next thing Bert knew, he was writing the text, commissioning an illustrator, and working with editors.  Before long, his first book, Anthony’s Amazing Journey, was released - and it wouldn't be the last.  God put it on Bert's heart to spread His message in the world of children's books, and Bert picked up that ball and ran with it.  Have a listen to this episode of the podcast to hear how Bert is responding to God's call and writing amazing books for kids, teens, and young adults. Keep up with Bert, Anthony the donkey, and the latest news!  https://www.fac
