#430: Faith, Purpose, & the Extra Mile: with Award-Winning Musician Evan Craft
In this powerful episode, Tony Miltenberger sits down with award-winning Christian artist Evan Craft to talk about faith, purpose, and what truly matters beyond success. Evan opens up about his journey from chasing achievements to discovering the emptiness of accomplishment without obedience to God. He shares how serving others, forgiving quickly, and building a trusted team have shaped his leadership and spiritual maturity.
Tony and Evan dig into the interruptions, detours, and “holy disruptions” that God uses to redirect our lives. Evan reflects on generosity, humility, and the importance of seeking God’s will over personal ambition. Whether you’re a leader, creative, or someone navigating a season of uncertainty, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, pay attention to God’s nudges, and pursue a life defined by purpose—not performance.
Topics covered include:
