Does what you wear truly represent WHO you are?

Fashion is one of the most personal and revealing ways that we express ourselves every day, but the powerful industry that makes these clothes is largely hidden from the public - especially when it comes to how Christian values are perceived and treated.

In this episode, you'll find out what really happens behind the scenes in the fashion industry when you're a Christian trying to share and protect your values and beliefs from Micah Lee, a Christian fashion designer and entrepreneur who has seen the risks and rewards of sharing your brand in an ultra competitive arena.

Micah founded Emperiol Clothing, an urban street wear clothing line designed to express Christian faith in a size inclusive and modern aesthetic. He shares the reality of building a fashion brand while dealing with the pressure of the industry and those who don't appreciate or understand your faith or belief system.

Are you doing ALL the things the gurus tell you to do...yet you're not making ANY progress as a Christian creator?

You've stayed faithful, you've posted, you've planned, you've been praying.

But your goals feel even more out of reach.

The reason isn't talent, or even your faith. It's your community - or your lack of it.

In this episode, we point out why having a strong, aligned creator community is the number one thing holding most Christian Creators back - and how you can fix this issue so you can achieve the goals God placed in your heart.

You've heard it over and over - "take the leap of faith"..."pursue your passion"...

...and all of the voices seem to say that being a creator is all or nothing.

If you have a 'backup' or traditional 9-to-5 job, somehow, you're not doing it right.

In an age where so many options are available to creators to help them monetize and grow careers, the pressure is on many faith-focused, well-meaning Christian creative people to leave their jobs and try to earn their living strictly from their creative gifts.

Is that true? Or is it a flawed perspective that gets people to take steps they don't have to take?

We explore why the "full-time creator" might not be for everyone in this episode.

What This Episode Unpacks:

• Why artists are burning out trying to keep up with video-first platforms
• How the pressure to constantly edit and post clips kills creativity
• The myth of needing a full studio team to “do video right”
• How to solve your content bottleneck using the power of AI video tools like Vizard without breaking your budget
