I ran sound for a women’s event last week. I was the only guy in the room. The pinnacle of awkwardness was during the pajama fashion show at the end. Even some of the ladies felt awkward. And their glances back at the booth tripled my already massive discomfort. But the night was all worth it for one moment.
A very precious (I don’t normally use that word) girl got on stage to share her testimony. She was far from God and hated the Church. She wanted nothing to do with Christians. But she wanted her babies to be raised in church. So she hopped on Google to find a local church. “I swear the Summit Church was the only church on Google.” She came. She met with God. She fell in love.
She indirectly met her Savior because of my Google craftiness. Wow! That’s what it’s all about. And what a powerful reminder!
Artists need constant reminders of why we do what we do. If you work in a church it’s for stories like that. My art actually made an eternal difference.
Even if you don’t work in a church, you never know the impact your art will have. If you are sharing truth and beauty, you can be certain your art has a bigger purpose than aesthetics.
Why do you do what you do? Constantly remind yourself why. Let your vision guide your art.
Your art is awesome and I am glad you are able to use your art to bless others!
Thanks, babe. You’re so encouraging. 🙂

You’ve blessed my heart and spirit with this article. Some decisions I am having to make are coming and it will make the difference between me realizing what I should be doing and why I do what I do! Thanks and God Bless!
You got it! 🙂

Will you share your Google craftiness? or If you already have can you point me to it?

Haha. It’s just simple search engine optimization and google Adwords. 🙂 nothing too crafty…but apparently I’m the only one in my city that does that for a church.
What tool do you use for your web site? I am struggling to get our church to show up on the main page. We have many churches in our area. I am also using 2003 technology and no css right now so I think that is hurting me.

thanks. I use wordpress for the Christian Band I manage. I was think of using Drupel to replace our current website.
