Helping Christian Creatives Build Brands
What would happen if you realised the Holy Spirit wants you to build a brand?
No, you're not making it all about you
But you are realising that God wants to use you. And how can God do that if you’re not in the picture? Sometimes I fear our well-intended desire to stay humble can also rob us of our calling and our purpose.
Humility isn’t about being inferior or hiding. It’s about understanding where all of our gifting comes from – from God of course. Once we realise that God has put the gifts in us, then we start to understand that the true measure of success is all about obedience and faithfulness to do what God wants us to do with it.
If God wants you to write songs and let people experience a little slice of heaven on earth, shouldn’t you do that?
If God wants you to build a profitable business that can take care of your family and create meaningful work for others, shouldn’t you do that?
Of course we can see that some do become worldly in their desire for fame, riches and all that jazz.
But building a brand doesn’t have to be about any of those things. Instead it’s about embracing who you are and what God is asking you to do. And then showing up with boldness to step into it.
I know what it’s like to shrink back from that because I did it for years. I hid my dreams about making music and starting a business behind the busy lifestyle of leading and planting churches.
But not any more. Because once I realised that in a strange sort of way, neglecting my dreams was actually disobedience, everything changed for me.
So what about you? Are you building what God has placed on your heart?
Or are you putting it off or explaining why it’s not possible?

Your path to building your brand looks like this
1. Clarifying the vision
Getting a clear sense of what God is asking you to do. Acts 2 tells us that a mark of being filled with the Holy Spirit is that we will dream about the future.
2. Unpacking your strategy
Understanding the practical next steps to move forward. This is often where fear and incorrect theology show up disguised as humility.
3. Discovering real accountability
Making sure you actually get what you want by doing what you say you’ll do. Jesus tells us to let our yes be yes and our no be no.
What the coaching programme looks like
6-12 months commitment
This is not about getting lucky or overnight success. This is about walking with you to do the nitty gritty work that will make your dream come into reality. Most people find 6-12 months is the optimum amount of time to get something significant accomplished.
Monthly 60 minute coaching calls
The sessions are about helping you gain clarity, challenging your mindset and beliefs and championing who you are and what God is asking you to do. Some clients just need encouragement and others need practical input around the mechanics of building their brand. All coaching sessions are bespoke to your unique needs which will be discussed in your Discovery Call. There is also have space for flexibility as things tend to evolve as you start building.
Easy access tracking systems
You’ll gain access to bespoke tracking systems (built in Google Docs/Sheets). These mean we can focus on specific goals and measure the impact of our work over time. These will play an important part in holding you accountable in building your brand.
WhatsApp access to Sats
We create a designated private WhatsApp group for each coaching client. It’s a space you can update your progress (think accountability) and share your wins. It’s also a space you can ask questions and receive practical input as you need it.
Typical investment of £1295
Most clients prefer a six month commitment but all of the above can be adjusted to your bespoke needs which will be discussed in the Discovery Call (e.g. length, frequency etc). £1295 is a typical investment for a six-month coaching programme.

Also working on the course. Idk everything just clicked for me in my head. What I wanted the brand to look like, from the logo to the fashion, it just clicked. Thank you for helping me find that.”

Why it’s time to shut down the Leadership Factory
I was one of the lucky ones. I survived. I made it through. But many didn’t. Some lost their faith entirely. Some kept loving Jesus but suffered such hurt in the church that they’re still not back. Others burnt out, lost marriages and plenty more. It is my conviction that the Leadership Factory model will inevitably always damage people.

Building a brand in 2025
Building a brand is not about a sick visual identity or a polished exterior, it’s about building a reputation. Old fashioned hard work, genuine service and love for others will get you further in the long run than taking short cuts.
