A little bit about the direction we are going in and what I learned when re-branding "Beyond".

First of all, thank you for your patience! 🖤


I can't guarantee that I will never change the direction of Beyond again, but I can tell you that I feel really confident about the path we're on!


Yes, that is a "we're".


I knew that if I wanted to take Beyond to where it can be, that I couldn't do it on my own. I will introduce you to the team very soon!


Anyways, let's talk about the new direction.


"Desire without knowledge is not good— how much more will hasty feet miss the way!" Proverbs 19:2


Many people will tell you not to take too much time thinking about your strategy and instead create as much as possible.


The truth is, I desire a lot with Beyond and I needed to know my 'why' much more clearly so I don't miss the way!


HERE'S 5 THINGS I LEARNED IN THE PROCESS:


Sharpen the Axe

Take your time to sharpen the axe so you don’t waste energy and time. Learn the skills needed and have a clear mission statement to unlock the right path.


Build a Team

You don't have to do everything by yourself. Spread the weight and enjoy the company of people who share your mission and vision.


Seek First the Kingdom

Although Beyond is an extension of myself, I needed it to benefit my ministry as a disciple. I had to figure out how it could also be a bridge to the kingdom for people that I meet.


Know Who You Are

It's hard to figure out your brand or business when you are still trying to figure out yourself. Your own personal development should come before the development of your projects.


Be In Step With The Spirit

If you claim your brand is for spiritual purposes, then be sure you are truly in step with the Spirit. Don’t pour more into your business than your relationship with God.


Why the Re-Brand?


After much consideration, I have decided to focus solely on faith-based creativity. While there is certainly a lot of content out there on leadership, I believe there are less resources that supports and empowers Christian creatives.


I believe leadership is needed, but creatives have the ability to reach millions of people with a 60 second clip. There may even be leaders out there who can create, but just don’t know where to begin. That is where Beyond comes in.


I think that this focus on creativity will benefit our ministries. As Michael Williamson has said, (paraphrased) "the creative ministry of your church amplifies the first impression of your church."


When I became a disciple, I struggled to find sources of inspiration and ways to express my faith through my art. I wasn’t creating, and that also means I wasn’t connecting with other creatives.


Beyond Enclave will be a hub for any faith-based creative to find inspiration, motivation, guidance and collaboration to shine their light and make a positive impact on the world.


We have a lot planned including our music label, podcast, devotionals, highlights of successful Christian creatives, and articles to help you elevate your productivity.


New Album Coming Soon!


Mark your calendars - the debut album of our label will be dropping May 3rd!


To prepare for our album, we have our first single releasing on March 22.

Thank you for your continued support and I can't wait to see where this new chapter takes us.

Peace & Love,
