I’m 56 and I am confronted with reinventing myself. I have a fine art background but have always wondered if God really need artists. Your video has been helpful in clarifying the decision.

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

Of course God needs artists! And He needs you :) Check out this free training I have on how to really start thriving as the artist God created you to be and finally unlock the God-given artistic gift HE placed inside you :) I know it will help you along in the process: matttommeymentoring.mykajabi.com/ew-optin-how-to-start-thriving

[@toshawatkins7195]

THANK YOU for this! I know that GOD is leading me on this journey.. more like carrying me 👣 😍💞

[@Lyn-yy6be]

We are both same age asking yhe same question! I believe it it's a yes! It's the desire of my heart I seek daily to find the time to have fun with my art. God bless you!!

[@jennifermcclain4478]

S Lee, thank you for your comment. Your first sentence is exactly where I'm at in life. Although I'm 66 instead. God put in my heart just 2 weeks ago to finally retire. I have no options lined up for after that final day of punching in at 8AM. At least, there are no options that I'm aware of yet. God simply said it is time. I'm encouraged that I'm not alone.

Go will renew you not urself just s reminder

[@shimwe30]

"Fruitful first..and then multiply" I like that

[@blessednhm]

I've struggled with this for over 15 years. I even prayed for God to help me to overcome or give up the desire to paint and draw. For 15 years I put my art supplies on the shelf and pursued other things but, I would still secretly envision myself painting and drawing. The desire never left. This year I had a dream I was drawing and painting so I began to question the decision I made 15 years ago, if it was really what God wanted for me surely the desire would have dissipated and the gift lost. However that was not the case so, I bought a small selection of Art supplies in hopes of just keeping it as a relaxing hobby. I came upon your video today and it has really encouraged me and confirmed to me that this gift is from God. I feel the Lord speaking to me through this video and I can finally see how God can even use an artist to glorify his name😊.

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

Thank you @blessednhm !

[@eileenmcneillart]

I've been an artist my whole life. From a young age I knew it was what I was meant to do, but the struggle has been real. I find myself once again stuck in a full time job behind a desk to pay my bills while my heart breaks a little more everyday and I'm depressed with no motivation to create. I cry out to God to show me the way, to help me fulfill my purpose as a an artist and creator. I have the talent that he gave me but I don't understand why it's not happening for me. I am a very good artist.

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

Hey @artjunky09 I really appreciate you watching and your heartfelt comments here. I can feel the frustration you're expressing. I hope you've been able to watch some of the other videos I have here on the channel to be encouraged on your journey as an artist.

[@b.st.8050]

Hey, wanted to know if anything moved in the artistic area? I'm also struggling, but I want to do art buisness. One step at a time

[@eileenmcneillart]

@@b.st.8050 I quit my job so that’s a step or just a very impulsive and irresponsible decision but I don’t care it was killing me. I decided that I’m just going to find jobs that are temporary or part time. I may be poorer with no insurance, but at least I’ll have more time to focus on what matters to me…creating. I don’t know if this is the answer you were looking for but hope you keep going ! I’ve made slow progress over the years and my business has grown it just seems to be taking me a lot longer. I can’t stop though…l have to create.

[@dorinases]

I also have a great desire to paint.. I don’t know if it’s from the Lord, I pray he makes it clear to me or maybe take a step of faith and He will correct me if I’m wrong .. may we all have open ears to listen to His guidance:)

[@imagemakerssociety]

100% transparency I've been struggling quite a bit with this all while I'm trying to encourage others. I feel like a hypocrite or imposter but this video really blessed me. Thank you for sharing sir.

[@KCgandara0330]

It's been a year since I am searching what God really wanted me to be. I was involved to lot of activities recently like schools, being a student leader and a theater artist (and I toom secondary education). I enter theater because I thought I will be able to do my passion by being a member and performing but as time goes by, I have this desire to really pursue being an artist. I wasn't so sure if this desire is worth it or if I can pursue it since I am a Christian. So, I was questioning the Lord if why is that I have this kind of desire and have this skill? Is it really for me? Until I found out this video and was able to understand that having this desire wasn't wrong. Now, I will work on it till I can receive the affirmation from God that this is really what he has designed me to be. Thank you so much for this. God bless you!

[@DH-634Seriously]

Thank you. I'm 63 .

[@ArtByHazel]

Amen! He literally answered this question last year. And I’m still holding on to His promise. ✨❤️✨🎨😃

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

That’s awesome!!

[@marinabrierley4342]

Hi matt,I am so relieved to have stumbled upon 😌 your work. How 🤔 do I tell you about me becoming a born again Christian because of a drawing I done 12 years ago, infact I thought I had ruined it when my black pen turned dirty redish brown around the head of the man I was sketching. Thank you 😊

[@yungchosenredemption737]

Good stuff and we want what God wants never running from that i know who Jesus is I wouldn't be this strong within without him .. i was born for this moment and birthed in the church i ran but i came right back to the words of God ..smh Amen 🎤

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

What a revelation! :)

[@HenryAlexvasquezmusic2]

Thank you

[@ajayraww3685]

I just stumbled on your video while I was searching for some wisdom about " Do God call me to be a artist?". You got one of the best answer out there and its the kind of important topic that people don't really talk about. Thanks alot for you wisdom, may God bless you!

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

I'm so glad this was encouraging for you!!

[@potterkooy]

So happy to have stumbled across you on Facebook! (my OCD is freaking out about the bug on the wall at 5:17 though)

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

glad you found us!

[@Manical]

I pray Jesus takes away the OCD, its only another pest by the enemy. Glory be God, I wanna help you know the joy of the LORD!

[@rchambers1993]

Amen! This is so encouraging, even if it's a year old! Still relevant!

[@dcassolis2157]

It's funny, I've been questioning my art as a talent and career a lot lately, well, more like about since covid hit especially. should I go back to the very corrupted corporate world and get back into corporate sales, or should I carry on. I do miss the corporate money but somethign kind of tells me to WAIT WAIT WAIT!! But my question is how long do I 'wait wait wait'? it's been 20 months now. So, I paint forward but eh! need increased encouragement. I will relisten to this and go back to your webpage and sign in and revisit al the video's I have from you. God bless you for being so encouraging @Matt Tommey and your team!

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

You're in the right place to start finding those answers, D! Keep listening - the Lord will speak to you when the time is right.

[@maryannconklin7231]

Such a huge encouragement to me. IT HAS been my prayers and questions far too long. I am in one of your groups.

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

I'm so glad!

[@olutobidaniel7731]

Absolutely. It's amazing how God opens up seasons to advance us to his will for every stage of our lives. I'm happy to be lead to watch this podcast. It's a blessing to hear this.

[@mihretudessalegne3759]

I like this guy. He exudes joy

[@DiBlume-jc2dj]

Thank you, Matt! Yes, it HAS been a very big encouragement to me!

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!

[@shareofmoney]

Great video and insight, thank you for sharing.

[@neils_about_Gods_buisness]

Thank you. Just right word at just right time

[@sandypogue5595]

Hi Matt I'd like to thank you. For making videos like these. Then making them available. For folks like me. Who have the calling to be an artist. Yet still haven't found the means to achieve it.

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

That’s what we’re here for! What are you reading right now? Check out Unlocking the Heart of the Artist or one of my other books.

[@defaultname8080]

I feel the same way

[@C726-w3p]

The question i face is, how do i glorify God with my art?

[@kathyboings1227]

Thank you Matt, I needed this...

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

I’m so glad it was encouraging for you!

[@clioneabyss2258]

Thank you! This has been so encouraging. :D

[@TheCombatartist]

I was a professional designer for 15 years, stay at home Dad for 20 and at 64 not sure where I’m at.

[@codymyers2346]

Thank you, I needed to hear this!

[@annysantos12]

Wow thank you so much for this word!! God bless you!

[@MattTommeyMentoring]

you're very welcome!!

[@kathypowell266]

So true

[@Greywolfgrafix]

I'm 63 and have caught nothing but criticism and ridicule in church over being artistic. So yeah, I don't fit in. So I don't attend anywhere now. Just tired of being beaten down.

[@spadegarden8572]

sorry to hear that, people are sinners and can be cruel. As an artist myself, know God delights when you create, don't be discouraged.

[@gem1086]

The church is a terrible place for artists. Lol. Ty for posting.

[@SuzukiCabs]

Why?

[@spadegarden8572]

Depends on the church.

[@dougwerner6239]

You are preaching a false gospel. Nothing you say is biblical. Twisting scripture to promote your own ideas is wrong.

[@Susan.Burns63]

Thank you 😊🙏, I'm kinda new to finding The Lord and it never ceases to amaze me how he actually is listening to me ( and why didn't I realise he always has 🥲🙏🇦🇺
