TuneIn What happens when your creativity, your faith, and your healing journey collide? Dr. Laurette Willis—cognitive behavioral therapist, creator of PraiseMoves, and living testimony of God’s redemptive power— shares what it really means to renew your mind.
What happens when your creativity, your faith, and your healing journey collide?
In this powerful and deeply honest episode of God and Gigs, Allen C. Paul sits down with Dr. Laurette Willis—cognitive behavioral therapist, creator of PraiseMoves, and living testimony of God’s redemptive power—to talk about trauma, creativity, and what it really means to renew your mind.
Dr. Laurette shares her remarkable story of growing up surrounded by addiction and mental illness, spending more than two decades immersed in New Age spirituality, and eventually surrendering her life fully to Christ. Along the way, she unpacks how unresolved trauma can quietly sabotage a creator’s calling—and how healing must involve the mind, body, and spirit together.

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.
