What dream are you currently turning into reality?
I’m turning the dream God placed in my heart into a life of telling stories through film, photos, and music that move people.
When did you first realize you discovered your dream?
At 15, I realized God had given me a passion for film, photos, and storytelling, and I knew I wanted to spend my life creating for artists and brands in a way that moves people.
How does your faith go hand in hand with pursuing your dream?
My relationship with God is at the center of why I do what I do. He put this love for film, photos, and storytelling in me at a young age, and I believe He’s called me to use it to serve artists and tell stories that mean something. I want to stay faithful to what He’s given me, keep my feet on the ground, and trust Him with wherever this dream takes me.
What’s one or two practical steps you take to keep moving forward?
I keep moving forward by giving myself structure while leaving room for creativity. I set goals for Fowler Creative, plan my shoots, stay organized with the business, and make time to experience new things that inspire me.
I think the best work comes from having discipline while still leaving room for God to surprise you.
What encouragement would you share with someone who’s going after their dream?
Don’t give up just because it’s taking longer than you thought. Keep your head down, do the work, and trust the Lord with the timing.
There’s going to be seasons where things feel slow, but that doesn’t mean you’re not moving forward.
Stay true to what God has put in you, keep showing up, and don’t lose sight of why you started. The right things take time.
