In this episode of Renaissance Creative Leadership Podcast, Jess sits down with Kaitlyn and Daniel Etoroma; a husband and wife duo who are entrepreneurial artists and pastors, exploring the very real tension of balancing business, creativity, family, and ministry. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Kaitlyn and Daniel are the founders of Hey You Studio, a creative business focused on storytelling and design. In addition to running their business and raising three children, they also serve on staff at Hope City Church in the worship and tech departments.

Together, they reflect on the beauty and chaos of this season, sharing honest stories about burnout, boundaries, creativity, and calling. With warmth and wisdom, they open up about what it means to surrender timelines, parent with purpose, and trust that even in the overwhelm, they might be exactly where God wants them.

This conversion is for every creative, parent, and ministry leader learning to navigate the sacred juggle of calling and care.

In this episode, Jess sits down with James Clarence: A lead pastor, strategist, and visionary, to explore the powerful intersection of creativity and leadership. Before stepping into his current role in Yellowknife, James was a Next Gen Pastor with a deep passion for unity in cities across Canada. That passion sparked the 403 Network, a movement that brought together youth groups across Calgary with one goal: to glorify Jesus in unity.

But James’ story didn’t stop there. With a growing need for leadership in the North, he took a bold leap of faith and moved to the Northwest Territories, where he's now leading with both conviction and creativity in a region that is often overlooked. Together, Jess and James unpack how strategy itself can be a creative act, why unifying the church requires imagination, incredible vision, and how obedience to God often leads us into unknown, but beautiful, territory.

This episode is an invitation to rethink leadership as an art form, and to consider how God might be calling each of us to lead creatively, courageously, and sacrificially... Right where we are, or somewhere entirely new.
