The Cost of a Creative Calling

In this video, we explore one of the most overlooked questions in the Church today: Should Christian musicians and artists be financially supported for their work?

From Bezalel building the Tabernacle to the Levites leading Israel’s worship, Scripture reveals a clear pattern — creativity is sacred work, not a hobby.

Yet so many gifted artists today are forced to create in the margins of their lives, struggling to sustain the very ministries that open hearts and invite God’s presence.

Drawing from biblical examples, church history, and modern realities, this video asks what it means to value the creative call — and how the wider body of Christ can partner with artists, musicians, and creative people to make space for heaven on earth.
