An Interview with Melodie Tunney - An Interview from Byron and Melodie Byron: Mel, you and I have known each other for many years, but always peripherally. We’ve been aware of each other and watched each other from afar, but now it’s exciting to be working together! Mel: Absolutely, Byron!

Overcome Creative Blocks with Faith: Creative blocks are a natural part of any artist’s journey. When faced with challenges, turn to God in prayer, seeking guidance and inspiration. Surrender your artistic struggles to Him and trust that He will provide solutions. Just as faith requires perseverance, so does the creative process. Keep pushing forward even when faced with difficulties. Your determination to overcome obstacles can become a testimony of faith to others. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/navigating-the-narrow-path-challenges-of-being-an-artist-in-the-church monthly 0.5 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/b2ba3bbb-c073-46fc-b38d-256f3625a3f4/pexels-kseniachernaya-5768187.jpg Ministry Resources - Navigating the Narrow Path: Challenges of Being an Artist in the Church - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/harmony-in-creation-the-significance-of-community-for-christian-artists monthly 0.5 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/78940a80-a120-4e8f-a73a-2e057296372a/pexels-nascimento-jr-1451812733-29888278.jpg Ministry Resources - Harmony in Creation: The Significance of Community for Christian Artists - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/the-divine-intersection-how-christians-can-give-back-to-the-arts-community monthly 0.5 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/310fc00d-1f7e-40d9-899f-8aef8b00a3a7/pexels-caleboquendo-34516689.jpg Ministry Resources - The Divine Intersection: How Christians Can Give Back to the Arts Community - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/14fe014c-e4ad-4d97-a186-f5718f8963ac/pexels-caleboquendo-34328458.jpg Ministry Resources - The Divine Intersection: How Christians Can Give Back to the Arts Community - Engage in Thoughtful Critique Critiquing art in a constructive and respectful manner can help artists grow and improve their work. Christians can engage in thoughtful critique by offering feedback that is both encouraging and constructive. This approach not only supports artists but also fosters a sense of community within the arts world. Pray for the Arts Community Lastly, and most importantly, Christians can support the arts community through prayer. Praying for artists, their work, and the impact of art on society acknowledges the spiritual dimension of creativity and demonstrates care for the well-being of artists. How Can ACT Help? By supporting the Christian arts community, believers have an opportunity to live out their faith in a tangible and meaningful way. At ACT International our passion is generosity—collecting, guarding, and directing every individual contribution to help fulfill the intended result of each missional effort. Also, caring for the donations and the donors who generously contribute to the ministries of ACT International is a privilege for our home office team. This is our commitment. This is what we do. This is who we are. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/50-creative-ministry-ideas-for-churches-artists-and-worship-leaders monthly 0.5 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/4a2d6cd6-738b-4a07-a8b7-7166396aff20/pexels-vadutskevich-15296257.jpg Ministry Resources - 50 Creative Ministry Ideas for Churches, Artists, and Worship Leaders - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/using-your-art-to-share-the-gospel-a-life-changing-path-of-creativity-and-faith monthly 0.5 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/b09b3fbb-6f68-4d88-b97a-d5fae8d5ae4b/pexels-sanketgraphy-15594932.jpg Ministry Resources - Using Your Art to Share the Gospel: A Life-changing Path of Creativity and Faith - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/2c3d0d83-0f22-400c-9f5b-ce8e566a21fc/pexels-sanketgraphy-18610082.jpg Ministry Resources - Using Your Art to Share the Gospel: A Life-changing Path of Creativity and Faith - 8.

Here are some of the common reasons: Community Support: Many Christian organizations and churches are involved in a variety of charitable activities, such as providing food and shelter for the homeless, offering education and job training programs, supporting disaster relief efforts, and providing counseling and support services. Donating to these organizations can help support these causes and make a positive impact on the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/3b048748-ad2c-45d4-b9ff-6d0e2c07e125/pexels-n-voitkevich-6863255.jpg Ministry Resources - Are Donations Tax Deductible? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/how-tos-for-your-philanthropy-and-giving-for-god monthly 0.5 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/7a4290b5-031e-4ec5-8877-23aef65dd0ac/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8111877.jpg Ministry Resources - How-To’s for Your Philanthropy and Giving for God - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/non-cash-giving-methods-at-a-glance monthly 0.5 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/0a81b076-1cb1-4eec-8305-23b462294443/Screenshot+2026-04-22+at+3.20.06%E2%80%AFPM.png Ministry Resources - Non-Cash Giving Methods At-A-Glance - In this month’s article we have included what we hope you will find is a helpful GUIDE in the form of a simple chart. It is easy to lose track of your giving options, as we have discovered that many donors are unaware of the variety of holdings that can be meaningfully donated. There may be more options through which you can make a significant financial impact on charities of your choice (like ACT Intl) than you think! Since all non-cash donations take many forms and not all of them can be donated in the same way, The Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation created this CHART to raise your awareness to the many Giving Options available to you. As always, we encourage you to consult your accountant or financial advisor to see which method of philanthropic giving may be best suited for your asset situation. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/artful-giving-strategies-for-successful-fundraising-in-an-arts-based-ministry monthly 0.5 2026-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/80b86220-1845-4476-82af-d57722d9dee4/pexels-vladimir-konoplev-155326297-11323676.jpg Ministry Resources - Artful Giving: Strategies for Successful Fundraising in an Arts-Based Ministry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/harmonizing-generosity-strategies-for-successful-fundraising-in-a-music-ministry monthly 0.5 2026-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/90583750-6597-41ff-8e06-f57bea459068/luis-morera-klNRtxIgiMM-unsplash.jpg Ministry Resources - Harmonizing Generosity: Strategies for Successful Fundraising in a Music Ministry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/do-i-need-a-501c3 monthly 0.5 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/094da074-befa-44d7-a0ff-20082db80c37/fotografo-samuel-cruz-uNMCWU0zjso-unsplash.jpg Ministry Resources - Do I Need a 501(c)(3)? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/what-is-a-501c3 monthly 0.5 2026-04-28 https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/how-to-create-a-501c3 monthly 0.5 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/ad815f59-d16a-432f-bff6-53aedd340286/natalie-parham-ZXPNYA_weyg-unsplash.jpg Ministry Resources - How to Create a 501(c)(3) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/how-to-become-a-christian-missionary monthly 0.5 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/5e4722e7-9945-420c-a101-4a0f5d97b6e9/elianna-gill-Q588c92mWEI-unsplash.jpg Ministry Resources - How to Become a Christian Missionary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.actinternational.org/articles/ministry-resources/the-cost-to-record-an-album monthly 0.5 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/a18a884e-f8cc-4d91-a700-07810dc2358c/anna-zakharova-JM-1yQ_LmLM-unsplash.jpg Ministry Resources - The Cost to Record an Album - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d5d1157437be5307b090fc/3063ca3b-ca74-4fd9-9e17-da141559170f/Screenshot+2026-04-21+at+9.44.11%E2%80%AFPM.png Ministry Resources - The Cost to Record an Album - About the author Melodie Tunney's career began as a vocalist with the contemporary Christian group, TRUTH where she also met her future husband, Dick, the group’s keyboard player.
