In this powerful episode of The Thriving Christian Artist Podcast, I sit down with long-time friends Stephen and Tricia Preston, a creative couple whose lives are a beautiful example of artistry, ministry, and Kingdom impact working hand-in-hand. From running multiple creative ventures to hosting a thriving conference for artists in their church community, the Prestons have spent decades inspiring and equipping others to step boldly into their God-given creativity.

We talk about the joys and challenges of being a married creative team, how God has provided and guided their steps through seasons of transition, and why building authentic community is essential for artists who want to thrive spiritually, creatively, and relationally.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How Stephen & Tricia blend artistry, ministry, and entrepreneurship
• The role of community in overcoming self-doubt and isolation
• Trusting God for provision in your creative calling
• Practical ways to gather and empower creatives in your church or city
• Lessons from launching and leading a creativity-focused conference
