395 - Leaning Into God's Call To Create with Stanton Lanier

Send us a text Stanton Lanier grew up playing the piano and writing songs, but he never seriously considered it as something he could make his living doing. Instead, he went the more practical route, attending Georgia Tech and getting business degrees that led him to years of work in the financial industry. But his desire to make music never left him, and he never left it behind. Even working a “normal” day job, he managed to compose around 30 songs and release CDs of his music. These songs were all meant to glorify God and had their basis in Scripture - even the instrumentals - and the more Stanton created, the more he felt called to create. So of course the time came for him to make a choice - stay with the safe and secure job and keep his music on the side, or dive into what he felt God was calling him to do with everything he had. And you can hear him tell how that choice worked out on this podcast episode. And after you’ve listened to this episode, you can visit his website, or you can plug his name - Stanton Lanier - into your favorite music streaming service and hear the gifts God has given him. www.stantonlanier.com When you’re ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣ Get my FREE Guide , “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art” Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?
