The Discipline of the Craft, Spiritual And Creative Warfare

Описание: In this episode of Moviemaker Ministry, Thomas Proffitt discusses the "Discipline of the Craft," exploring the intersection of creative work and spiritual warfare. Thomas shares the grueling reality of directing his first feature film, the importance of "starting before you're ready," and how the pressure of a deadline can reveal exactly what God needs to fix in your heart. From a miraculous connection with an actress who knew his late mentor to the "Rocky-like" struggle of independent filmmaking, this conversation is a roadmap for any creator walking the straight and narrow path.
