Why Artists & Creatives LOVE the Catalyst Program

Mirjam Schrei,

Painter

"The Catalyst program is a powerful blend of business knowledge and bible teaching, thoughtfully designed for artists. Starting an art career comes with countless challenges, and there are so many things to consider when building your business. Catalyst provided me with a strong foundation and practical insights into the art world, helping me develop and grow my business step by step.
Michelle and Joel are outstanding teachers—deeply experienced, insightful, and wholeheartedly invested in every participant’s journey. They truly understand how the industry works and take the time to answer every question with care and wisdom. One of the most valuable aspects of the program was their approach of linking business strategies with biblical principles, offering a faith-driven perspective on creativity and entrepreneurship.
What made Catalyst truly special for me was how it brought together art and faith in a way I had been searching for. It addressed so many questions I had been wondering about for years. It was refreshing and inspiring to connect with fellow Christian artists and to realize that we share not only our passion but also our struggles."

Jean Daniel Bankole

Actor

"Catalyst program is an answer to my prayers. Michelle and Joel provided the most adequate practical and spiritual teachings for artists in order to become creative entrepreneurs. They have extended my understanding of who I am as an artist, but also as a child of God. Now I can say that I'm truly equipped to continue my journey with the Lord as an actor in this world. Thank you Michelle and Joel for your generosity. God bless you."

ChaCha Garcia

Fine Artist & Sculptor

"For me, the Catalyst Program is nothing short of miraculous. It came at a time when I was scrambling for clarity and purpose, feeling like I missed the boat; my best years behind me and overwhelmed with the fast-paced challenges ahead for an artist in this day and age. The Catalyst Program breathed new life into my art career, literally resurrecting it from the dead!

Pastor Joel opened my eyes to the value & privilege of being a Creative created in the image of God, exposing the lies & idols that had taken residence in my heart, freeing my mind and soul with scripture that I be filled with boldness to create art that makes a difference for the kingdom without being preachy or kitschy. I am equally bowled over with Michelle’s coaching style, combining kindness and real talk to motivate the class to excellence. The depth and vastness of her knowledge in online business and marketing for artists, providing us with strategies and goals for a global audience has equipped me to tackle my new season with professionalism and new-found confidence.

Together, Joel & Michelle deliver an excellent curriculum on right doctrine, right practice and right passions. There’s nothing like it!!"

Bolanle Awosika,

Painter & Gallery Owner

"Being a part of the catalyst program was one of the best decisions I have made. Michelle has provide me a great wealth of knowledge of the important steps to have a successful art business. I love that she invites the Lord into each class by praying before and after each class. Michelle is available for questions during class and even after class when needed. Michelle has given me many tools that I have implemented and given me more traction as an Entrepreneur and one of the best parts of the course is it's affordable with the option of a payment plan. I recommend Catalyst to every artist that wants to take their business to another level".

Steven Holloway

Filmmaker & Cinematographer

"Taking AEM’s Catalyst Program should be on the list of every Christian artist wanting to start a new creative business or getting an old and tired one revitalized. The course is methodically organized, clearly presented and practical. Be aware, though, it’s intensive, but you, and your approach to your work and business will benefit greatly."

Tori Higa

Children's Book Author & Illustrator

"The Catalyst course is ideal for any artist who wants to take their creative career to the next level in a thorough and meaningful way. The faith component is especially unique and encouraging. Michelle is a very hands on teacher who generously shares her knowledge and expertise with her students. She is approachable, nurturing, and wise. I wholeheartedly recommend this course."

Dylan Wheeler

Oil Painter & Author

"Michelle does an excellent job of leading the course with a teacher's heart. She is committed to helping you succeed by patiently walking you through the process every step of the way. Her and Joel have been doing this for a long time and have the expertise to help you overcome almost any challenge you could be facing as an artist. Taking their course is one of the best decisions that I ever made!”

Lori Ann Fuller Piscioneri

Vocalist & Founder of Voice AcademyLA

“Michelle Pelsue’s Catalyst Program has been the best class I have taken on the business side of being a creative entrepreneur. Her knowledge about marketing, website building and management, social media, and utilizing God-given gifts and talents is vast and she is a very generous and gifted communicator. I highly recommend Calatyst for all who want to take their creative endeavors to the next level.”

Amri Rigby

Writer/Director

“Michelle pairs her insight, creativity and compassion in how she helps artists develop in their careers. One of the most impactful parts of Catalyst for me was where Michelle quickly diagnosed my weak points in how I marketed myself as an artist and gave deeply insightful strategies for how I can mobilize my audience as supporters for my work.

I can tell that Michelle deeply wants Christian artists to succeed; it’s a conviction for her. It’s in her staying at the end of each session to answer all of our questions, being fully attentive to the needs of the cohort, praying for us and offering encouragement. In fact, the more I’ve engaged with her content, the more HOPE I have gained than ever before to press forward and trust God’s sovereignty in my life and career. I’m grateful to Michelle for her part in that process, and I am ready for the next stage of my career thanks to what I’ve learned in Catalyst."

Andrea Walker-Williamson

Author & Creative Entrepreneur

“Michelle is by far the best facilitator that I have worked with for self-development and also for my business needs. She is a powerhouse with a unique ability to love you as she hands you a superb level of organization and transparency. She has mastered the ability to create a fool-proof lesson plan equipped with articles, links, and modules. Michelle’s amazing coaching style is gripping and admirable as she navigates you through the best practices of your career and business.”

Dan Hendricksen

Visual Artist

“I have passed up the many Business of Art coaches online, each promising (by their special knowledge, for a hefty fee!) to make me a $100k/year art-selling juggernaut. Until I saw a Facebook post from Arts and Entertainment Ministries that had a significant difference. AEM begins in scripture and with prayer to assist artists through the Catalyst Program to be who they were always meant to be. After some background searching, and with a realistic cost that I could handle, I decided to trust that there would truly be a difference. I am so glad I did! Michelle led our cohort on a personal search and discovery through the weeks of the course, and we gained real confidence in our abilities. In this step-by-step program – which is by no means easy fluff – I have assembled good tools that expand my art-making into a business practice that will be both personally fulfilling and financially successful. Firm, yet non-judgmental, I know Michelle is committed to seeing each participant become the best creative that God intended them to be."

Daniel Hendricksen, Visual Artist

Grace Carol Bomer

Painter, Writer, Teacher

“Michelle is The "catalyst" at Arts & Entertainment Ministries. She is helping me optimize my assets and audience and is challenging me toward new ways to grow my art business. It needed an energetic shove into the next decade. She is a helpful encourager who graciously answers my questions. AND best of all she prays for me! Thank you, Michelle, for inspiring me and getting me focused!”

Elizabeth Mikellides

Visual Artist

"As a visual artist, I was seeking a course which had both a clear structure and direction regarding the business side of art, as well as Christian perspective and support. Catalyst excelled in both!

I felt so supported from Michelle and my fellow creatives even though I couldn’t attend the lives. Each module turned out better than the next, and this was reassuring and enlightening. It was like a secret blueprint founded on Biblical teachings.

I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a no-nonsense approach to the business or art-making with a heart for Jesus at the centre of it."

Kevyn Bayshore

Screenwriter

"Joel and Michelle's ministry to the arts and entertainment industry establishes them as the consummate go-to mentors, coaches, and informal pastors with the heart of a father and mother, to teach, train, and inspire artists of faith."

Cindi Rhodes

Curator & Visual Artist

“Michelle Pelsue is the real deal. Focused, persistent, and detailed, she cut through my fears and inertia like a laser knife, putting me on a clear path to growth and success. She untangled my random ball of goals, weaving them into an intelligible logical plan with a purpose. If you’re questioning whether or not creative catalyst is for you, don’t. Just say yes.”

Jaime Gonzalez

Filmmaker

“As a business adverse artist, Catalyst has gotten me excited about tackling the business side of my creative work! The sessions have been simple, concise, effective, and crucial as I prepare the business foundations for a new film project in a new stage of my life. Michelle offers an approach that not only instructs but shepherds the soul. She cares about each individual, and her experience and connections are very valuable to any artist who wants to get to the next level in their career.”

Christina Ramos

Painter

"I began to truly understand how my art could actually be an extension of not only my faith but my unique identity. I felt liberated to express myself and truly explore what I had to say as an artist. Taking risks with my work and allowing myself to create from my own individual perspective and not be pigeonholed into what I felt religious society expected of me. My experience with AEM has truly been life changing."

Jahmal Holland

Filmmaker

"Arts and Entertainment Ministries is a crucial resource for artists of faith in mainstream culture. The institute prepared me to create relevant art while maintaining core eternal values."

Melissa Tubbs

Pen & Ink Artist

"The AEM Catalyst Program is one of the most beneficial courses in which I’ve ever participated. Each module is packed with timely, pertinent, useful information. Because of the questions we answered in class and with our homework, I came to see and understand things about myself as well as my work that I needed to be aware of. I learned a long time ago that if I learned only one thing from taking a class or seminar it was well worth the time and money. With the catalyst program, I learned many things I wouldn’t have had time to discover on my own. It has recharged me. I’m excited about taking my career to the next level."

Chris Zappe

Artist

"The Catalyst program offers an amazing value for artists of all stripes who are seeking to cut through the noise and get to the heart of how to engage with the world as faithful stewards of their gifts. The program's small cohorts facilitate meaningful discussions covering the philosophical, practical, and technical aspects of how to thrive as a creative in our world. Michelle's approach to discipling artists is anchored solidly in scripture and in current social, market, and technology trends. I come from a technical background, and the guidance I received in Catalyst helped me supercharge the tools I was already using to increase my reach and strengthen my network of peers and audiences. Ultimately, the Catalyst program empowers artists with a firm foundation to launch confidently into a rich and fulfilling career. This has been an incredible experience for me and I heartily recommend Catalyst to any artist who is looking to gain traction in the business of their crafts and to make a positive impact through their unique talents."

Liberty Worth

Fine Artist & Textile Designer

“The Catalyst Program for artists has literally changed my life. The way I understood it before beginning it, the course was created as a way to help artists get to the next level as business people – but I have to say, I don’t think I had a clue as to how useful, important and valuable the course would be for me in particular. I started with a vague idea that I needed to get my “ducks in a row” – but Michelle Pelsue is an extraordinary teacher and resource whose experience, knowledge and wisdom I did not fully comprehend until I was immersed in this program. Her commitment to the material and to helping each participant find their connections to it was amazing.

In the time that I have been in this course, I have explored many aspects of my artistic career that previously felt overwhelming and out of reach – but Michelle’s systematic and thorough format of teaching, exploration (and homework!), brought the material into bite sized chunks that felt natural and doable – even while there were challenges. With Michelle’s mentorship and also the friendships with colleagues in the Catalyst group – I have been able to get myself ready for an entirely new chapter of my career. A few months into the program, I was starting to feel prepared, more confident about what I was putting out in the world and I knew my mission and goals. My artist friends began to ask me, “how do I get what you are getting from your artists’ group?” They noticed the change in my professionalism. And then when changes started happening speeding up my career – I found I was ready for them! I had a marketing plan, a better understanding of the value of my art and I could speak to my artistic vision clearly. I knew what I wanted and I had a website to prove it. None of this would have happened without this course.

As an added note – being able to have a spiritual component to this group and course is something that cannot be quantified. Arts and Entertainment Ministries already offers a wealth of blessing, community and ministry for artists of all kinds, but to get into this level of depth with someone who can pastor you in your career as a creative…. that’s incredibly rare to find and has been the utmost value for me as I move forward boldly, knowing that I am called to this life as an artist.”
