About this episode
Send us a text Wherever you are in your journey as an artist in business, you can be sure that sooner or later, you will be tested, as if by fire. You'll be given an opportunity to step out in faith, beyond the limits of your own knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. It’s easy to say that we know that God will provide...but actually trusting Him enough to let go and step out in faith can be easier said than done. That's why it's a joy to introduce you to Lonnie and Abby Alverson of Hearth and Home Forge. They're the real deal – a married couple, living and working together, as they run a fruitful artist studio in the Kingdom. In this episode, find out how they trusted the Lord to transition Lonnie out of a 27-year corporate career into full-time dedication to detailed hand-forged metal work… in the midst of a global pandemic panic. I find their journey has so much in common with how my wife, Tanya, and I had to step out in faith into artist entrepreneurship – learning to work as a team, both at home and in business.
