Publisher's summary

Imagine just for a moment life the way you have always dreamed it could be: feeling connected to God and hearing His voice, creating with the Holy Spirit, following His lead as you share your art and see it transform people's lives.

Imagine a world where artists are free to thrive spiritually, artistically, and financially in everything they do. Imagine a life where your mind is clear, renewed, and focused on God's purposes for your life and art; no longer struggling with negative patterns of thinking that have held you back for years.

My friend, this is not some pie in the sky dream that will never come true. This is the way God designed life to be lived in His Kingdom. This can be your story, fully alive and thriving in everything you do.

In Created to Thrive, you'll learn how to start living life from a new blueprint based on God's Word and His divine design for your life as an artist in His Kingdom. You'll begin to see your life without limits as you learn to align with Him and cooperate with the Holy Spirit to create new patterns of living. Your mind will be renewed, your heart will be unlocked, and your imagination will be set free to resonate with the Kingdom that's already living inside of you.

You were made to be more than just a frustrated artist, struggling to make sense of your life and art. Get ready to become the artist you were created to be. Get ready to thrive!

Very practical. Every artist will identify/and find themselves within this book. It should be in every creatives library.

Matt opens up a concept that God wants to create along side (with) you as an artist.

In between the obvious nurture and caring of Matt's narrative, he explains the eagerness of God Himself wanting to be your partner in art, business and everything you put your hand to. Matt goes on to explain that prayerfully asking God for wisdom in: show scheduling, obtaining a studio space, blogging, and even a website or online class is the way God enriches your business. He wants to prosper you.
Besides all the Together with God Instruction, Matt offers a membership in his online detail packed Created to Thrive Mentorship which you can learn about being an art entrepreneur.

Love Matt Tommey

I have been listening to Matt Tommey’s podcast ever since finding out about him from Theresa Desmond at the last Bethel School ofCreativity.
He has excellent work ethics, a personal relationship with Hesus and encourages his readers to engage with the Holy Spirit on your personal artistic journey, no matter which avenue you are taking.
I just attended (online) his Master Class - Artist Rise Up. So good!
This book is so helpful to encourage and strengthen you in your walk with Jesus and pursue your God given dreams! I highly recommend it. I love it that Matt actually reads the book to you personally!

A great source for creative believers

Matt Tommey provides confirmation that creativity can be a calling. He lays out a sound biblical response to that calling & shares many stories to see that plan at work. This isn’t a do this and that will certainly happen promise of wealth. It is about receiving the blessing of responding to the calling to offer your creativity as an act of worship. If wealth & notoriety come about, then that too is a part of the blessing. Regardless of your medium, when you invite the Holy Spirit into your creativity & respond to the presence of divine creativity, worship is the outcome.
I found this particularly encouraging in times when I’m home bound from chronic pain & the only outlet is to be in divine company & we make art together. Sometimes, it is me making the piece, other times it is studying the beauty of nature around me, but it is the connection of enjoying it together that brings worship to the forefront.
Matt has some many ways to help Creatives to thrive. There is no doubt that this IS his calling, to be “a father to artists” and help us to connect to The Father of all.
