What would it feel like to wake up every day, knowing you would spend your day doing the work you were created to do - and doing it at an exceptional level?
Almost every creative dreams of finding ultimate fulfillment and personal satisfaction as they pursue their goals - only to find themselves stuck in the mud of indecision, mediocrity, and confusion when it comes to mastering their craft.
This is the problem serial entrepreneur, best-selling author, podcaster and thought leader Jordan Raynor has dedicated his life to solving.
From working in the White House, to speaking at Harvard, TEDx and SxSW, he has spent the better part of his adult life helping the church to use their gifts in the marketplace to glorify God and to love others - and he’s not afraid to call out the persistent misguided mindsets that keep that from happening.
After years of going through his ‘jack of all trades’ season, Jordan decided to dedicate his life to faith and entrepreneurship. His first book, Called to Create, was a nationwide best seller. His devotionals on YouVersion are downloaded by thousands of users, and he and his team have impacted more than 1,000,000 Christians to do their most exceptional work for the glory of God and the good of others.
In this immensely practical and thought-provoking interview, Jordan lays out the case for Christian artists, creatives and musicians to pursue a singular calling - even if it means doing a lot of exploring along the way. He takes on the faulty mindset of labeling “Christian art”, and he paints a powerful picture of the blessed and fulfilling career you could have if you are brave enough to become a “Master of One”.
