It’s been a year! In this anniversary episode, I invite my good friend, Alex LeBlanc, to talk about God pivots. Father has been leading me to pivot different things in my life, including this podcast and I thought Alex would be the perfect person to have a conversation about this with because he’s going through his own pivot.
Is God causing pivots to happen in your life? Then you’ll want to hear this episode!
ABout Alexander LeBlanc:
I’m a musician and developing filmmaker. I majored in Film at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and in Christian studies at Charis Bible College in Woodland Park, Colorado.
Before God called me to Florida, I was a musician at my home church in Louisiana, as well as a youth group leader, an elementary school tutor, and eventually a full-time videographer. The Lord had me lay everything down to move to Florida with no plan besides what He called His “discipleship school,” and that’s exactly what it’s been ever since. Now it’s my fourth year at my amazing church, Powerhouse church, where I’ve been getting discipled and playing piano there for 4 years, and also playing piano in the band.
The Lord has had me make some interesting choices since I moved here, but the fruit of it all has been so evident! Now the Lord had me quit my last job, and in the waiting season, all His provision keeps coming in while I rest and wait for the next steps.

This week I talk to one of the most creative people I know — Chanique Davis. We talk about creativity and why we believe it is an essential part of a healthy spiritual life.
God is the most creative person in the universe … and if we’re made in His image, then we have the capacity to be creative, as well. In fact, we believe that creativity is a powerful force that can change the world.
In Luke chapter 17, Jesus says the Kingdom of God is within us. I believe one of the ways the Kingdom can manifest into this world is through, guess what … creativity. Listen in!
