How To Boldly Pursue Your Solo Career While Maintaining Your Ministry w/ Andrea Sandefur, Singer / Songwriter
Do you struggle to find balance between working in church and promoting your own music or art?
How do you shift from serving faithfully in a congregation's worship and arts ministry, to sharing your music and creativity as an individual artist?
We explore these topics with someone who deeply understands the role of creativity in worship - songwriter, worship leader and recording artist Andrea Sandefur.
As a dedicated worship minister in her home state of Alaska, Andrea has found fulfillment and purpose in her calling to minister locally to musicians, creatives and fellow believers.

In this episode, she shares how she manages to maintain a ministry focus even as she branches out into being a solo artist and songwriter. This episode will enlighten you as a musician, creative or artist who is finding your unique path in ministry and the music industry.
