The Bible says "don't despise small beginnings." Well, this episode is an example of why every small beginning can have a big ending.

As God and Gigs approaches its 7th anniversary and our 300th episode, we're sharing some of our most impactful episodes that still bring truth and inspiration to our community.

Back in 2017, when the podcast had just started, we had the opportunity to interview Warren Brown, a dynamic gospel musician and content creator who was riding high with his "Yank Nation" community.

Since then he has become one of the most respected and well-known musicians in gospel, but he has faced new challenges which were shared in our friend John Mike's podcast "The Hangout".

We encourage you to listen to this interview and then hear Warren's progress in his conversation with John Mike!

Please don't listen to this episode.

We know, that's a strange thing to say. But for the first time, we prefer that you check out the video format of this topic because we couldn't do it justice in an audio format.

On August 9th, we shared a livestream workshop about the rash of untimely deaths suffered in the musician community, and the wake-up call that it is generating in our God and Gigs family.

In this brief summary, you'll hear two of the key takeaways from this livestream, but again - the best way to experience this is from the words of our community members themselves.

What does it take to truly master your God-given creative gift? In this encore presentation of one of our most popular interviews ever, you'll learn the answer.

From his roots as a music minister in Miami, to becoming the driving force behind a vast catalog of Grammy, Dove, and Stellar Award-winning albums and songs, Trent Phillips has established himself as one of the leading Producers, Musical Directors and Keyboardists of our generation.

Far from resting on his accomplishments in music, which include directing bands and producing for Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Donnie McClurkin, Bishop Paul S. Morton, and dozens of other top-tier gospel legends, Trent has continuously dedicated himself to raising up the next generation of musicians and creatives.

In this revealing and inspiring interview, Trent reveals the process that shaped his career in gospel music industry, and his character as a Christian and businessperson. You’ll hear in his own words what he learned from his early years in music ministry, to becoming a MD on one of the most iconic albums in gospel music history, and the lessons he’d learned as a leader of worship leaders and coach to the next generation of music ministers and producers.

• How he remained in mentorship relationships that helped him connect with the right artists
• How his early years steered him toward the path of music and how multiple influences kept him flexible as a musician
• How being open to God’s leading resulted in the biggest shift in his musical career
• Why musicians cannot be presumptuous in their dedication to only one career path
• Why he prioritizes the value of the local church despite his worldwide success
• His most treasured moment and the moments when he knew he had wasted an opportunities

How do you know you're following God's timing for your creative life, and not your own?

It can be incredibly scary and frustrating for a faith-focused creative to feel uncertain about God's will and timing - but there are clues that can help you determine when it's the right season to make a big move.

In this Creative Checkup episode, host Allen C. Paul shares his own experience of looking to God for the right timing and explains how those lessons can apply to your own life - especially when it's hard to determine what's best.
