Balancing ministry and creative passions isn't easy, and I've wrestled with the tension between my duties as an ordained elder and my love for filmmaking.

This episode brings to light the struggle of prioritizing commitments and the journey toward finding a genuine love for your craft, beyond the allure of success and recognition.
Life's seasons can often feel like navigating through a spiritual winter, but it's in these times of introspection and growth that we find true direction.
