To connect with Allen visit: https://godandgigs.com/quizTake his fun and informative quiz to discover what kind of creative personality you are currently, and learn how to move toward enjoying complete confidence in your creative career!

Allen says, “I remember the day I handed my pastor my resignation letter while he handed me my promotion acceptance. Ever since then, I've learned to toe the balancebetween ministry, creative life as a musician and entrepreneur, and the priority of family. That's my story. When people meet me, I tell them my story in four words - husband, father, creative, forgiven. Officially, I'm an author, podcaster, coach and advocate for creatives in the areas of business,creativity and faith. My book, “God and Gigs: Succeed as a Musician without Sacrificing your Faith,” along with his podcast “The God and Gigs Show”, my study guides and devotionals are designed to help Christian and faith-filledcreatives build confidence in their calling while excelling in their craft - usually in the intersection of ministry and the mainstream arts and entertainment industry. I've been married to my beautiful wife Lia for over 25 years,and we have 3 children, and I continue to perform and compose as an accomplished musician in South Florida and beyond. As a musician, creative coach, author and podcaster, I strive to help creatives in all walks of life to harness the essential tools to impact the world while living in harmony,abundance and in line with timeless principles. I've built multiple brands and creative platforms, written 4 books and resources, and run a successful faith-centered creative platform, God and Gigs, while coaching others to do thesame with their gifts. I look forward to helping you to embrace the essential tools you need to live out a creative life, whether inside or outside of a church ministry setting. It's my passion to see you abundant, blessed, and creatively inspired every day - and I'd love to help show you the way.”

Thank you for joining us for today's episode. Today, we're joined by John Jarman, who shares his story of why God uses the broken and redeemed.

Get ready to be inspired by this story of redemption that can only come from the mercy and grace of our Lord Jesus. John will have the attention of you and your listeners right from the start of your show. John is honest, passionate, and knowledgeable. He's also incredibly inspiring. John is a breath of fresh air in today's world. With no memory of his childhood till the age of twelve, John Jarman had no conscious way to overcome the unknown pain in his past. When his adult life crumbled around him, he finally reached out for professional help, both emotionally and spiritually. Over the next ten years, this inner work lead John to places he—and his counselor—would never have expected. As John moved closer to God in the process, the storm hit harder than ever, taking him to his knees. Discover how John got up and, by the grace of God, walked through the storm of his life and strengthened his faith through completely surrendering to his Heavenly Father. As John learned and shares in this book, trusting God and becoming vulnerable are the only way to true freedom. In Broken and Redeemed, John Jarman shares a story of beautiful, authentic brokenness that rests in the redemption only found in God.

In today's episode, we speak with Rich Kirkpatrick. He shares a powerful story about how God is using him in the creative space and how we can be used by God in that way too.

According to Rich, "I've been blogging since 2005. Since then I have met people all over the US as a speaker, friend, and leader who fit in what I call the creative tribe—or what some call 'creatives.' Growing up in a very strict environment as a creative meant dealing with structures and relationships that saw success as uniformity and conformity. It took me years of life experience and research to uncover that my natural inclination for curiosity that challenges the status quo is not only healthy, but a missing value in our workplaces, schools and personal growth. What if creativity is a process that we can all learn and grow from? There is science that proves it. We are all wired to create. So, here's the good news. Learning the creative process might help us become a better version of ourselves—our truer selves!"

Rich Kirkpatrick writes, consults, and speaks about the intersection of creativity, faith and leadership. In 2022 he authored MINDBLOWN: Unlock Your Creative Genius by Bridging Science and Magic. He is also a musician, songwriter, and recording artist with the group A Beautiful Liturgy. Rich is based in the East San Francisco Bay Area, CA.
