Her Art Business and Life as an Artist was Completely Transformed

Before joining the Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring Program, Kathy Joy, like many artists, found herself caught in a cycle of striving. Juggling multiple low-paying jobs, she struggled with a lack of confidence in her skills and doubted the value of her art. Society's pervasive narrative of the "starving artist" reinforced her poverty mindset, leaving her feeling trapped and disconnected from her true calling.

Kathy’s story resonates deeply with countless artists who feel stuck chasing financial stability, believing their artistic gifts aren’t enough to provide for their needs. However, her journey reveals a powerful truth: when artists embrace their God-given identity and align their creative pursuits with His design, transformation happens.

Breaking Free from Striving

For years, Kathy believed she had to chase every opportunity to make ends meet. But this constant hustle left her feeling depleted and disconnected from her purpose. It wasn’t until she joined the Created to Thrive Artist Mentoring Program that she began to understand her true value as an artist created by God.

Through the program, Kathy discovered that her identity as an artist was not just a skill set but a calling. “I learned who I really was. I learned that God called me to be an artist,” she shared. This revelation shifted her mindset, allowing her to see the immense value of her creativity in God’s plan.

Confidence Through Alignment

With this newfound understanding, Kathy began to let go of distractions and the relentless pursuit of financial security through misaligned work. “Once I started to realize just how much God values that unique part of me that wanted to be an artist, I started to value it too,” she explained. By aligning her decisions with God’s plan, she experienced a profound sense of peace and purpose.

Saying “no” to opportunities that didn’t align with her calling became easier, and she stopped chasing every dollar. Instead, Kathy embraced the truth that provision comes from God when we operate within His design. This alignment brought not only financial stability but also a deep sense of rest and joy.

Living the Dream

Kathy’s transformation was nothing short of remarkable. Within a year of joining the program, she went from juggling multiple jobs to becoming a full-time artist. “I used to be in so much poverty, but now I’m in a place of peace and rest because I can pay all my bills, and I’m a full-time artist,” she said with gratitude.

Her story is a testament to the power of embracing the way God has uniquely designed each of us. By trusting Him and integrating Kingdom principles into her art and business, Kathy now lives a life filled with purpose, joy, and financial freedom.
