If you’re an Actor + Christian who loves performing...
You Don't Need To Figure Out How To Succeed In The Entertainment Industry Alone
Get clear on "must-know-to-stand-out" industry realities, what all you can do with your God-given talents, plus what WISE preparation and serious pursuit really look like in today's talent industry.
Join 5-decade Talent Mentor Carey Lewis to sort through industry changes and modern challenges, big faith questions Christians who love performing must get answered, plus mistakes even talented/trained Performers accidentally make which can keep them stuck. Questions? We're at hello@shine.us
If entertainment is where you think you're supposed to be, this is your chance to stop circling and get clear about what it means to pursue acting wisely, faithfully, and seriously.
Some of the questions we help you answer...
- "Is my desire to perform actually from God, or just something I want?"
- "How do I find agents and opportunities that align with my values and goals?"
- "How do I start / level up in a way that's God-honoring and industry-wise?"
This is for you if…
- You're an aspiring or actively pursuing performer who wants to find his place in entertainment.
- You love God first and wonder how to honor Him AND fulfill your dreams!
- You feel drawn toward acting, but you're uneasy about what the industry represents or how best to pursue it.
- You're tired of feeling stuck between passion, indecision, and fear.
- You want a clear, grounded way to think about faith, entertainment, and your next steps, with a plan to excel!
This is probably not for you if…
- You're a judgmental Christian. (Shine is a company run by Christians who love everybody, because God does. See John 3:16-17.)
- You don't want to go deeper and higher in your faith, as well as deeper and higher in your knowledge of the Entertainment Industry.
- You aren't interested in standing out or taking bold, wise action. (The only One you should be following is Jesus. Actors, models and talent for Christ are destined for leadership roles.)
- You expect God to hand you success "if He wills it" (without much effort or preparation).
YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THIS...

These are real stories from Actors who wrestled with calling, faith, and the entertainment industry. They found hope, purpose and a path forward through Carey Lewis's mentorship.
"This has brought me closer to God.
In the beginning of this journey, I was nervous, because I was stepping into the unknown, In fact, there were times when I was questioning God. Thankfully, I was able to address those worries within Shine.
Now I feel confident going into this business. I believe more in myself because of Shine."

A PATTERN CAREY'S SEEN TOO OFTEN
Gifted Performers back away because they assume faithfulness means avoidance — and their gifts are quietly buried.
THE OTHER EXTREME
Others rush in without understanding the culture, the business, or the spiritual pressure points and quickly lose their footing.
If you're an Actor (new or auditioning) who's looking for a better way. You don't want to bury your dreams and goals or blindly chase them. You want to approach the industry with open eyes, rooted faith, a full toolset, a deep awareness of the industry and how you should navigate it, and a serious commitment to excellence.
