Have you wanted to do big things for God - but also had to deal with big doubts?
Having spent years as a professional background vocalist with artists like Dorinda Clark-Cole, Kierra Sheard, Deitrick Haddon, Shana Wilson, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, and countless others in gospel music, vocalist and pastor Kelli Brownlee has seen what it takes to remain a trusted and respected part of an industry-leading musical team that demands excellence.
Now, in this "Best Of" interview, Kelli shares how she handled her transitions from singing on the stage to leading ministries and pastoring a church. You'll learn how to navigate those tough moments when God asks you to make a radical change - and how you will find fulfillment when you overcome fears and embrace your new seasons.
As of March of 2023, Kelli and her husband Ben are leading a church plant called Story Collective Church in Pittsburgh, PA., and are raising their three beautiful children.

More About the God and Gigs Show
Welcome to The God and Gigs Show, the podcast for Christian creators who want to build a creator lifestyle that honors God and gives you the joy and satisfaction you've always wanted.
This isn't a show about hustle culture or chasing the next algorithm trick. We go beyond surface-level tips to talk about what it actually looks like to create from a place of faith — practical strategies for podcasting, content creation, and growing a creative business that lasts. You'll hear conversations about staying consistent without burning out. We also dig into finding your creative voice along the way, even when ministry, family, and work are all pulling at the same hours.
Whether you're just exploring your creative gifts, or you've been creating professionally for years, this show gives Christian creators practical tools and spiritual encouragement to fully embrace God's creative calling - at any level of skill or vocational ability. The goal is to help you create consistently and embrace God's will for your creative life without sacrificing your calling.
Your host and founder is Allen C. Paul — podcaster, musician, author, and speaker based in South Florida. We started this show to help creators thrive in faith, business, and creativity through simple, practical solutions.
We'll cover questions like:
- How do I work in secular arts and entertainment without losing my faith focus?
- What does it actually look like to build a creative business as a Christian?
- How can I stay consistent with content creation without burning out?
- What's the difference between hustle culture and sustainable creative work?
- How do I find my voice as a faith-driven or creator?
- How can I balance ministry, family, and creative work?
- What are practical first steps to working as a Christian creator?
If you've been searching for honest conversations about faith and creativity, keeping your family and relationships as your first priority, or how to build a business that honors your calling, you're in the right place. Join us every week as we help you become the creator you were created to be.
