In this episode, we discuss the challenges and misconceptions surrounding church marketing, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and community engagement over corporate tactics. We argue that churches should focus on genuinely communicating what God is doing within their communities rather than competing with pop culture or other churches. The conversation highlights the need for collaboration among churches and the significance of understanding the true purpose of church marketing, which is to reach lost souls and foster genuine connections.

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Creative Saints Podcast and our first video episode! 

This week Josh and Victoria unpack the theme of VISION: what it means to see what God sees in business, creativity, leadership, and faith.

Vision isn’t just goals or dreams it’s God’s preferred future revealed and written down. Without it, businesses drift, creatives burn out, and leaders settle for managing instead of building. With it, clarity inspires community, discipline carries you through trials, and your work becomes an anchor for purpose.

In this episode we break down biblical wisdom and business case studies from Nehemiah to Joseph, Kodak to Blockbuster, all pointing to one truth: sight keeps you stuck in what is, but vision carries you into what could be.

Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or faith-driven leader, this conversation will challenge you to write the vision, live it daily, and trust God with the future.

Being consecrated isn’t about looking holy, it’s about living aligned. In this episode, we talk about what it means to be set apart, tuned into the Holy Spirit, and walking out personal conviction in real life.

Being called is about identity, but being commissioned is about being sent. In this episode, we unpack the difference, explore how God equips us all for specific assignments, and talk honestly about the weight of living a commissioned life. Whether you’re designing, leading, parenting, or making art, this conversation is meant to help you find the purpose in what God has commissioned you to release into the world.

In this laid-back episode, we're ditching the heavy topics and pulling back the curtain on real life as creative entrepreneurs, parents, and homeschoolers trying to keep it all together. We're talking about what’s inspiring us, how we're juggling a full workload, parenting, marriage, and leadership roles all while being intentional to not burn out.

We're also diving into:

    •    The creative process and shifting design trends

    •    How to find rest and inspiration without escaping your responsibilities

    •    Why keeping your circle small is sometimes necessary

    •    The beauty (and chaos) of Michigan road development

    •    How Victoria’s navigating her evolving identity between “trad wife” and “boss lady”

    •    And...the ridiculousness of PSLs, Apple Watches, and 90s Pizza Hut nostalgia

If you’ve been feeling the weight of the season but need a reminder that you’re not alone and maybe a few laughs too, this one’s for you.

Ministry can be beautiful, exhausting, and often unseen—but it should also be worship. In this episode, we talk to the people always making it happen. Staff members, volunteers, and behind-the-scenes creatives who help keep the Church alive. What does it look like to invite God into your work and let every unseen moment every rehearsal, every meeting, and Sunday morning hustle become an offering of worship?
