In this episode of Gospel & Gradebooks, we’re joined by Mike Jones for a thoughtful conversation about faith, creativity, and honoring God through your work. Mike is an accomplished graphic designer and the founder of Creative South, a conference built around community, encouragement, and purpose-driven creativity.
As part of his story, Mike shares about surviving the 1997 cheerleading bus crash involving the University of West Georgia, an experience that deeply shaped his perspective on life, faith, and responsibility. Rather than defining him, that moment became one of many ways God refined his understanding of calling, stewardship, and gratitude.
This conversation isn’t about tragedy, it’s about what comes after. It’s about using the gifts you’ve been given, walking faithfully in your vocation, and trusting God with the platform placed in front of you. Whether you’re an educator, creative, or simply wrestling with how faith connects to daily work, this episode offers encouragement and clarity.
