Faith-Based Projects Currently in Texas

For years, I’ve been with an acting agency. All that time, I’d hoped and looked for faith-based projects that were going on, even though they were few and far between.

It seems more have been popping up recently, which is amazing.

However, if you’ve read my recent blog posts, you’d see that it feels like God has put my acting endeavors on pause – except for this one series I’ve been doing called Vindication.

What’s my point?

For the first time in years, I don’t have an agent, and for the first time in years, there are 2 MAJOR faith-based films being shot in Texas. And not just in Texas but in close proximity to me: a Pure Flix series and a series called The Chosen.

Think I’m bothered by the fact that I don’t have an agent to submit me early on these things? Ooooh, yes. It makes no logical sense that now is when I’m agent-less.

That doesn’t mean I can’t get projects of my own volition. Do the work, submit myself, get the audition and go for it, but here’s the kicker – I don’t think I’m supposed to right now.

Yes, I could quickly contact one or two agencies of my preference, ask a couple of actor friends to put in a good word for me with their agent, get signed, get auditions, get new headshots, etc. But I’m not doing that. Why not?

Because God. Because of Isaiah 55:8-9.

Because I believe, in my heart of hearts, that that’s not the move I’m supposed to make right now. Do I know why the heck not? Nope. It’s just what’s in my soul.

God had me step away from acting for this period of time, and He’ll whisper to my soul when He’s ready for me to start up again.

Yes, it sounds crazy that opportunities are seemingly right in front of me… but what’s more important to me than potential ‘opportunities’ is the peace that comes from letting God lead my life.

So, I’ll just deal with the fact of knowing that these series are happening. Knowing that I know the director of one of them, yet God’s not prompting my heart to ‘go for it’ – not yet, anyway.

I’ll never understand that Man. But I trust His not yet.
