BRONX, N.Y., Jan. 13, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- So you're a Christian Artist. A singer? An actor? A dancer? A writer? A painter? A musician? And where do you go to "display" your talents? The most obvious answer is Show Business. However, competition can be FIERCE.

From the very beginning, the many brave souls learn about the hardships that come with this highly competitive and utterly frustrating career they've chosen. They struggle through the multitudinous cattle calls, the vast amounts of down time (unemployment) and the lack of creatively, satisfying work. These Christian performers find themselves under intense pressure to compromise their faith. Discouragement can sink in and it is very easy to succumb to worldly beliefs and immorality. Problem is these are only the outward challenges. We also have to contend with the inward obstacles.

One course most schools don't teach is how we should view ourselves. Nine times out of ten, an artist will identify themselves by their talents. Too many times I hear "I'm an actor." "I'm a singer." "I'm a dancer." Or if they are a "triple threat" who can sing, dance and act, "I'm an entertainer!" Unfortunately, such words are not enough to build a life on. When the work that sustains these identities is scarce, self doubt and discouragement become inseparable parts of our inner lives.

In the book The Soul Of The Artist, you will find that the source of Christian artist identity is in God. It is only when we seek out an intimate relationship with Him, through daily praise and worship, we will find true inner fulfillment. It is the only way to sustain our lives and our careers. When we let go of all the ideas and attitudes that drive us we can rest in Him knowing He knows what is best for us. We learn of His love, joy and peace.
