An Online Forum for Artists Who are Serious About Their Art & Their Faith.

Are you called to create works of art? Are you seeking clarity about what that means and what that looks like? Whether you paint, write, compose, or produce movies or video games, your art is more than just a craft—it’s a calling.

Join us, and learn what it means to be called by God to be an artist or professional creative.

Why should you join us? Let us help you let go of the guilt and bad theology you’ve heard from well-meaning friends and family. Find clarity and freedom, anchored in biblical principles, with real world application.

Michelle is a classically trained actor who turned professional at age 15 and has done TV, Film, Commercials and Professional Regional Theatre.

Their mission is to equip and train artists and creative professionals working in the mainstream art world and entertainment industry to succeed creatively and grow spiritually.
