Feeling alone in this creator journey? Is counting followers more depressing than inspiring? In this episode of The God and Gigs Show, host Allen C. Paul sits down with Christian podcaster, author, and designer Addie Ott to explore why chasing social media followers won’t satisfy your creative soul—and how true creative friendships can lead to lasting joy and purpose.
After watching, you’ll be able to:

Recognize the dangers of comparison and follower-chasing for Christian artists and entrepreneurs.
Learn practical ways to prioritize authentic community and biblical fellowship in your creative journey.
Gain tips to balance ambition, humility, faith, and business as a Christian creative.

If you’re seeking purpose, struggling with comparison, or craving deeper creative friendships, this conversation will offer the hope, encouragement, and strategies you need. Don’t miss Addie’s insights on godly ambition, building Christian community, and her book, “Fellowship over Followers.”
