      In this inspiring episode of The Thriving Christian Artist Podcast, I sit down with my friend Phil Bob Borman—a premier Western artist celebrated for his breathtaking skyscapes and deep love for both art and the Lord. From his early days as a sculptor and cowboy to becoming one of the country’s most recognized Western painters, Phil Bob’s story is one of following God’s leading through unexpected transitions.

      We talk about the unique aesthetic of Western art, the discipline required to master large-scale skyscapes, and how Phil Bob has seen God’s hand guiding his creative journey. His humility, humor, and heart for excellence make this conversation one that will inspire any artist to keep pursuing the work they’re called to create.

      What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

      • How Phil Bob transitioned from sculpting to large-scale skyscape painting
      • The influence of Western culture and tradition on his work
      • Why following God’s direction can lead to unexpected creative success
      • Lessons from years of honing a distinctive style
      • Encouragement for artists navigating seasons of change

      🌟 Favorite Quotes from This Episode:

      “I was doing bronze sculpture in the traditional Western style before I ever thought about painting clouds.” — Phil Bob Borman
      “Everybody I know that’s trying to paint clouds—just go look up Phil Bob Borman. He’ll give you something to dream toward.” — Matt Tommey

    • What Feels Like Delay May Be Divine Direction
      Oct 28 2025

      Send us a text

      What if you’re not behind at all—but right on time for what you were made to carry? We take a hard look at slow seasons and flip the script: delay isn’t punishment, it’s purposeful formation. Through real stories, scripture, and practical reflection, we explore four hidden purposes behind God’s timing that build resilient, joy-filled creative lives.

      First, we talk about capacity. Strength comes before spotlight, and endurance widens the heart to hold influence, relationships, and resources without cracking under pressure. James 1 becomes a lens for growth that happens on the inside long before it shows on the outside. Then we sit with protection. Not every open door is meant for you. Some “no’s” are shields in disguise, sparing you from opportunities that look right but would fracture your focus or outpace your maturity.

      Next, we dive into alignment. When work becomes worship, striving gives way to flow. We share the moment everything shifted—repenting of copycat strategies and returning to the specific path God outlined. Colossians 3:23 reframes creative practice as an offering, and momentum follows clarity. Finally, we step back to see the larger weave. Romans 8:28 and Ephesians 2:10 ground the conviction that your story is threaded into something bigger and better than personal success. You’re invited to cooperate, not perform; to notice what the Father is doing and join Him step by step.

      If you’ve been watching the clock, ready to quit, this conversation offers a gentler measure of progress: peace, presence, and faithful practice. You’ll leave with reflection prompts to spot development in past “delays,” language to discern real God-doors, and a renewed desire to create with God, not just for applause. If this spoke to you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs the reframing, and leave a review with the one insight you’re taking into your studio this week.

    • From Pain to Purpose through Creative Healing: An Interview with Karen Bulbuk
      Oct 24 2025

      Send us a text

      In this heartfelt episode of The Thriving Christian Artist Podcast, I talk with multi-talented creative Karen Bulbuk, whose artistic journey has spanned fine art, graphic design, music, photography, and more.

      From her small-town Massachusetts roots to her current home in Michigan, Karen shares how her creativity has been a constant companion—even during seasons of caregiving, transition, and uncertainty.

      We discuss the unique challenges of pursuing art alongside other life responsibilities, the powerful ways God has spoken to her about the purpose of her art, and how she’s learned to see creativity as a language for communicating His truth. Karen’s story will encourage any artist who’s felt “on the sidelines” to step back into their calling with renewed passion and vision.

      What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

      • How a diverse creative background can enrich your artistic voice
      • Lessons from blending art with life’s changing seasons
      • Why creativity is a language for communicating God’s truth
      • Overcoming discouragement and finding encouragement in community
      • The importance of aligning your art with God’s purpose

      🌟 Favorite Quotes from This Episode:

      “Art is like a language… once you learn it, you can communicate God’s truth to people through visual images.” — Karen Bulbuk

      “So many artists tell me, ‘I was an artist… but then life happened,’ and yet God is still calling them back into that creative place.” — Matt Tommey
