Matt Tommey-Giving Up a 'Fruitful' Business to Follow God's Lead
“Your identity is established, your design is uncovered, and then your assignment gets revealed.” ~Matt Tommey
What happens when God calls you to walk away from something that is profitable and flourishing?
Our guest today, Matt Tommey, will share how God led him to shut down his company during a season of abundance and what he learned along that journey.
Matt's Bio:
Matt is woven sculpture artist from Asheville, North Carolina and an internationally known Christian speaker and author of multiple books. He is also an art mentor for artists around the world through his "Created to Thrive" art mentoring program and The Thriving Christian Artist podcast.
In 2009, God called Matt to "raise up an army of artists to reveal His glory all over the earth." Since then, Matt has given his life to helping artists thrive spiritually, creatively and financially through creating live events, resources and online opportunities that equip artists to live the life they were divinely designed to live in the Kingdom.
As an artist, Matt's work has been featured in many magazines, shows and exhibitions and is mostly commissioned by private clients for luxury mountain and coastal homes around the country. In 2011, Matt was recognized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery as an American Artist Under 40 and in 2018 was recognized as one of the Best Artist Mentors in the country by Professional Artist Magazine.
