#34 | Mastery Is Worship

Episode Summary

Your gift is from God—so master it like it matters. In this episode, Mikel reframes skill development as a form of worship and calls creatives to offer their best.

Episode Notes

Mastery isn’t about applause—it’s about honor. In this powerful episode, Mikel challenges creatives and leaders to stop separating their skill from their spirit. If God gave you a gift, why wouldn’t He expect you to develop it? Referencing Exodus 35:35, Mikel makes the bold claim that half-prepared work doesn’t reflect a wholehearted God. A sloppy offering says more than we realize. This episode is a call to excellence—not for perfection, but for honor. Mastery is the least we can offer in response to a God who gave everything.

Episode Transcription

Mastery is more than skill—it’s a form of worship. In this episode, Mikel calls us to stop separating our spirit from our craft. If God gave you a gift, it deserves to be developed. Referencing Exodus 35:35, he explains that your offering—your design, your leadership, your work—should reflect the God who gave everything for you. Half-prepared work doesn’t honor a wholehearted God. So take a step back, ask if you’ve given your best, and commit to sharpening the edge. Your gift matters. Master it.
