443 - Using Art To Move Through The Messy Middle with Sheila Atchley Podcast Number: 443Podcast Release Date:  07/11/23Podcast Description Sheila Atchley, my guest on this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist, knows what it means to be in the “messy middle.”  As her life begins to move from one phase to another, as her nest begins to empty, as she transitions to what God has in store for her next, her creativity is there to keep her going.  Her first experiences with painting came as a way to process the hard, emotional times she was going through, and wound up leading her to a deeper connection with God and His grace.  And she’s here to tell you that your “right-brained” creativity can do the same for you.  Sheila and I had a great conversation about how these periods of pain in all of our lives can lead us to feeling empty, sad, and helpless against inertia, but God can lead us out again even through the simple act of making things.  If you know what it’s like to be in a painful place - and I’m afraid we all do - then my talk with Sheila will really resonate with you.  Listen to the podcast, and be sure to check out what the Lord is doing with Sheila’s art at her website and social media.  www.sheilaatchley.arthttps://www.instagram.com/sheilaatchleydesigns/ https://www.facebook.com/SheilaAtchleyDesigns ====================When you’re ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣  Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art”Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?  Grab my free guide and make sure you’re not stuck in any of these misconceptions about prophetic art!  Download here ➡️ https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/5-biggest-misconceptions-about-prophetic-art2️⃣ Learn a New Framework for Living: Watch this free 60-minute, on-demand workshop I created called “How to Start Thriving as the Artist God Created You to Be,” where I share a simple, Kingdom-based framework for living that anyone can use starting today.

Episode NotesPodcast 053 | Awake Awake with Sheila Atchley “One of the saddest things to be is unaware.” 10:13 “You have a spirit of authority. Go love it. Find it and love it.” 16:07 “Your middle is as ordained a season as your beginning and as your end.” 16:18 “Your most valuable perspective in the middle is that of loving what is yours, and I would also say that your perspective is also your most valuable possession.” 16:34 “Jesus paid for my ultimate victory, but I pay for my present viewpoint. Choice by choice by choice, my perspective is my own and it has been dearly bought for better or for worse, and it’s so important to be awake and aware and choose our perspective very carefully.” 17:13 “I just think that creativity is one of the most powerful tools in a woman’s toolbox for the maintenance of a well soul, and every single one of us should have some form of a dedicated creative practice.” 18:57  I’m Sheila Atchley. Artist-author, wisdom-chaser, preacher’s wife, life and creativity coach, and silver-haired ordinary mystic.I’m a die-hard congregant, and a flagrant creative.I have a semi-empty nest, a handsome preacher-husband, and seven adorable grand-wildlings.And I over-use the hyphen.  Proudly.While I am equally drawn to words and art, words are my defining first love, and a big part of my art form.  I’m here to encourage you with paint, prose, and poetry. Hence, the paint brush and the ink pen in my sketchy little home-made logo.I have no shame. No really, I have no shame.I’m here to unleash an army of women who celebrate for no reason – an army of women whose metric is grace.My main mission is the middle age woman.  This beautiful season of life is under-celebrated, and under-valued.  Middle aged women do not get enough support.  I aim to change that, when and where I can.  I believe that (like Abraham and Joshua of scripture) “everywhere the soles of your feet tread shall be yours…the Lord will extend your boundaries…”.Middle age is a vast and gracious land. It is a Promised Land…disguised as a battle. It is a land where many of us now find ourselves walking, a place where the potential fruit is enormous – if we are willing to slay some giants.I’m busy doing just that in my personal life, in my art, and in my writing and speaking ministry.  I want to help you extend your boundaries. I want to help you inherit what’s legally yours, in every season.  After all, if I encourage the women, I encourage the world.I invite you to sit down, relax, and please overlook my hair (it is its own light source, my apologies).Let’s talk about the things that really matter – and laugh about the things that really don’t. https://sheilaatchley.art/https://www.instagram.com/sheilaatchleydesigns/ Creatively Made Business with Jeanne OliverIs your business aligned with how you want your life to look and feel?
