379 - Following God's Inspiration For Your Life: A Conversation with Jessa Brantley

Send us a text When God inspires you to do something, do you do it no matter what? My guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, Jessa Brantley, is a perfect example of what can happen when you go all in on following God’s inspiration for your life. Jessa was working as an accountant (“the least creative job a person can have,” she says) who dabbled in making wooden signs as an artistic outlet. But when she stumbled on wood-turning videos online, she was “mesmerized” by them, and knew that she had to give it a go herself. Overcoming the nervousness of trying a new thing, especially a thing that was in a field dominated by men, she took the lathe her husband got her for Christmas and taught herself how to turn wood into beautiful bowls. From there she took step after step on the path God showed her, including taking my masterclass. Next thing you know, she had taken her art and made it into a successful, thriving business! If you feel the Lord calling you to make more out of your artistic expressions than you ever thought possible, you should listen to Jessa’s story. She’s a great inspiration you can learn a lot from! And when you’re done with this episode of the podcast, you should check out Jessa’s website and social media to see what God is inspiring her to do with her art. https://www.beloveddesignswoodworking.com/ https://www.facebook.com/BelovedDesignsWoodworking https://www.instagram.com/beloveddesignswoodworking/ And if you’re ready to learn how to create consistent, faithful income for your art business, be sure to join us for the Artist Cashflow Bootcamp!
