It’s one thing to be a creative who has a connection to God.

It’s another to know why.

If there’s any musician who is serious about knowing what you believe as a Christian, it’s Greg Johnson. With years of experience in music ministry, he has a passion for helping musicians and creatives to embrace an authentic relationship with God.

Greg’s understanding of theology and ministry was a key element in landing his current role as the director of Music Ministry at Northview Christian Church under the leadership of Dr. Hart Ramsey.

In this raw, powerful and revealing talk, Greg reveals why we must know what we believe, and why a strong and secure faith is so important.

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.
