TuneIn This dynamic choreographer and author reveals how to follow God's leading even when it seems nothing was working - and how to discover your creative calling in the process
Navigate the twists and turns of a creative career is hard enough, but when you have a deep relationship with God, it can be even more intense.
You may feel like God has led you toward fulfilling your passions, but how can you be sure you're on the right path?
Choreographer, author and educator Marlita Hill has travelled that road, and she has learned some valuable lessons that she now shares with artists, creatives and fellow believers.
Marlita has served God as a choreographer and dance educator in the church and marketplace for over twenty years. Her work includes providing master classes and residencies for colleges, leading workshops, and mentoring artists internationally.
She has authored three books on the relationship between faith and art, including her latest, Defying Discord, which explores how the "secular" art career serves, builds and represents the Kingdom. Her books have been used as textbooks for college ministry courses, bible studies, and dance ministries.
In this episode, you'll learn how she began her career in dance by discerning God's voice, and how she maintained her faith despite huge obstacles. You'll see how you too can lean on God's leading even as you pursue your creative dream in the mainstream arts and entertainment industry - and thrive no matter the circumstances.

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.
