If you want to be successful in the creative world – whether music, drama, film, graphics, writing, preaching, advertising or any endeavor – you need to go to the veterans. They’ve been there, done that and can (when you are able to squeeze a few minutes from them) make a world of difference for you, saving blood, sweat and tears if we’ll learn from their experience. And of course we can also enjoy their craft and their stories.
It was our pleasure to sit with music industry veteran and chart topping performer Rick Cua recently as we talked about:
- What it takes to “make it” as an artist
- Writers block
- Touring.
- Playing for 100,000 people
- The secular versus the sacred
- And loads of practical powerful advice for those desiring to succeed in their calling in a difficult ever changing industry

Our apologies... In the original posting there was an incorrect link. So, I'm re-posting this. I encourage you to read it and comment. It is well done and provocative.
Every media professional in the church world should wrestle daily with the moral implications of how we "market" the Gospel to our culture. Leave it to the always provocative and thoughtful John MacArthur to make us sweat a bit. Check out his recent post and feel free to comment.

Reading Mike's recent interview with Seth Godin - especially his comments on "Free" - has me thinking:
Whether they've read Godin's new book or not, people/ministries like John MacArthur and John Piper have studiously read THE book (ummm...the Bible) and they totally get it when it comes to "free" and it is working for them in a truly miraculous, biblical way via their websites (gty.org and desiringgod.org). Their ministries are growing, their reach is expanding, the gospel is advancing in pretty dramatic ways – contrary to what many would’ve thought when it comes to giving away most of your life’s work. That's right, they give most of their "product" away for free and are thriving.
Hmmm…giving your life away….that sounds like the gospel.
