Fear can paralyze Christian artists, trapping them in a destructive pendulum swing between two extremes: the fear that God won't provide financially on one side, and the fear that success will breed pride and damage their relationship with God on the other. This powerful episode tackles this common struggle head-on, offering liberating truth for creatives caught in this cycle.
Drawing from a thoughtful question submitted by a Foundations Course participant, Matt reveals how the enemy strategically uses this pendulum to keep believers stuck, perpetually swinging between scarcity mentality and success anxiety. The solution? Understanding the profound difference between fear-based religion and grace-filled relationship with the Father.
When we recognize that fear drives while the Holy Spirit invites, everything changes. Matt unpacks God's original intention for His children to walk in abundance in every area—unlimited relationship with Him, hearing His voice, walking in authority, and living aligned with His purpose. This wasn't just the design before the Fall; it's what Jesus died to restore us to.
The posture of our hearts shouldn't be fear but sonship—knowing we are redeemed children, joint heirs with Christ, and co-laborers with the Holy Spirit. As William Booth said, "I'm not waiting on a move of God, I am a move of God." When we truly embrace Jesus' words that "it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom," we realize that every blessing comes solely by His grace. This recognition transforms how we create, succeed, and live.

What's holding you back as a Christian artist? For many believers, the greatest barrier isn't lack of skill or opportunity—it's an internal battle between what Matt Tommey calls "sin consciousness" and "sonship consciousness."
Drawing from the transformative work happening in the Foundations course, Matt explores how our internal focus shapes everything in our lives. When we fixate on our failures, shortcomings, and perceived inadequacies, we create a world of limitation. But when we shift our focus to our identity as beloved children of God, everything changes—including our art.
Through a series of penetrating questions, Matt helps us examine whether we're living from a place of fear or freedom, duty or delight, hesitation or confidence. Are you beating yourself up because of unwanted thoughts? Do you approach God primarily with apologies rather than gratitude? Do you feel unworthy of God's blessing in your creative life? These indicators reveal whether we're truly walking in the freedom Christ purchased for us.
The good news is transformation is possible. God never leads us to condemnation—only illumination. By recognizing areas where sin consciousness has infiltrated our thinking, we can begin renewing our minds and embracing our true identity as artists in God's kingdom. This shift isn't just about feeling better—it's about experiencing lasting change that impacts every area of our lives, especially our creative expression.
Ready to experience this transformation yourself? Matt offers podcast listeners exclusive access to the Foundations course at 75% off the regular price—a nine-week journey proven to unlock the hearts of artists and build the confidence needed to thrive. Your Father delights in you and your creativity. Will you take the next step toward embracing that truth?ACCESS THIS 75% OFF SPECIAL HERE: https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/offers/kT5pbVzo/checkout

What if your greatest artistic and business breakthroughs aren't hiding in the latest marketing strategy but in the secret place with God? This paradigm-shifting episode reveals a powerful truth I received during an exclusive marketing mastermind event that completely recalibrated my approach to creative success.
The divine whisper was clear: "Be focused on pulling on my glory, not pulling on the levers of business systems." This counterintuitive wisdom unlocks the supernatural paradox that has transformed countless artists' journeys—lasting success flows from intimacy with God, not just strategic business actions.
As creatives, we're often tempted by quick fixes and industry hacks that promise visibility and profit. But Scripture consistently points us toward a different path. Matthew 6:6 reveals how secret prayers yield public rewards. Psalm 91:1 shows that dwelling in God's presence provides divine covering. And Psalm 37:4 demonstrates how delighting in the Lord shapes and fulfills our deepest creative desires.
This doesn't mean abandoning business wisdom—it's about holding tension between practical know-how and spiritual sensitivity. Your unfair advantage as a Christian artist isn't just talent or technique; it's communion with the Creator Himself who can accomplish more through one divine appointment than years of self-reliant striving. When you prioritize His presence over performance, you position yourself for divine inspiration, heavenly connections, and supernatural breakthroughs that transform both your art and life.
Take the challenge this week: return to the secret place, realign your heart, and watch how God begins revealing His unique creative pathway for your artistic journey. Remember, you weren't just created to survive as an artist—you were created to thrive!Fuel Your Creative Calling with Weekly Encouragement

Do you find yourself growing impatient with God's timing in your artistic journey? You're not alone. That frustration—wanting success now, progress immediately, recognition instantly—is something almost every artist battles.
Through personal studio revelations and spiritual insights, this episode explores how God uses the textured, broken places in our lives to create the most beautiful aspects of our art and testimony. Just as a painter uses texture to hold color and create depth, God uses our challenging seasons to reveal His glory in ways that smooth paths never could.
The enemy wants you to believe you're behind schedule, too old, or somehow disqualified from your artistic calling. But God's timing—whether in sudden breakthroughs or extended journeys—is perfectly aligned with His purposes for your life. When we release our timetables and focus instead on faithful daily actions, we position ourselves for sustainable growth rather than exhausting spurts of striving.
Those winter seasons in your creative life aren't just waiting periods—they're strategic opportunities. Historical basket makers understood this, using winter's confinement to build inventory that would sustain them through other seasons. Similarly, your apparent delays can become divine appointments for skill refinement and creative exploration that busier seasons wouldn't permit.
The texture of your artistic journey—with all its winters and valleys—isn't something to escape but something to embrace. Every delay has purpose, every setback contains potential, and every season plays its role in revealing His glory through your creative expression. When we trust the Master's timing, we discover that sometimes the long way home is actually the most beautiful path forward.
