Are you a creative who’s ever squirmed when someone asked, “So, how much does this cost?” You’re not alone—and you’re definitely in the right place.

In this recorded livestream from our Friday Creator Checkups on YouTube, host Allen C. Paul tackles the tough and oh-so-relatable question of why so many faith-focused artists and creators wrestle with pricing their work.

Drawing insight from personal experiences and candid listener responses, we'll dig into the core fears that make setting a price feel so complicated—whether it’s tying your self-worth to your art, worrying about being seen as “too expensive” (or “not humble enough”), or simply not seeing your creative pursuits as a legitimate business.

You’ll hear practical advice, Biblical perspective, and real-life examples to help you finally break free from pricing anxiety.
