How do you know you're following God's timing for your creative life, and not your own?

It can be incredibly scary and frustrating for a faith-focused creative to feel uncertain about God's will and timing - but there are clues that can help you determine when it's the right season to make a big move.

In this Creative Checkup episode, host Allen C. Paul shares his own experience of looking to God for the right timing and explains how those lessons can apply to your own life - especially when it's hard to determine what's best.

Are you tempted to compromise your artistic vision and values for the "riches" of influence?

In this Creative Checkup discussion, you'll be introduced to 7 compelling reasons why you should resist the temptation to become an influencer as an artist.

We're pointing out, with no holds barred, that the thought that these two paths are interchangeable is actually dangerous to your creative life.

• How prioritizing influence over artistic expression can erode your core purpose and creative fulfillment
• The mental and emotional toll of constantly chasing validation and maintaining a carefully curated online persona
• Strategies to cultivate authentic connections with your audience that transcend the superficial nature of social media trends
• Practical ways to harmonize your artistic endeavors with necessary business and marketing efforts, without sacrificing your values
