Torn between marketing your work because you know it's valuable, and feeling judged because it's not specifically "ministry?"
In this honest and insightful conversation, Jake Doberenz—writer, podcast producer, and founder of Theophany Media—joins Allen C. Paul to unpack what it really means to promote your work with purpose and integrity.
You’ll discover:
- Why self-promotion doesn’t have to feel selfish when it’s rooted in stewardship
- How to balance humility with confidence in your creative calling
- The mindset shift that helps Christian creatives share their gifts without guilt
- Practical ways to talk about your work without crossing your spiritual boundaries
If you’ve ever asked yourself “Can I sell and still serve God?”—this episode will help you find peace, clarity, and the courage to show up fully as the creator you were made to be.
