When God Writes Your Story: Marketplace Miracles with Jake Weidmann on Exploring the Marketplace (S:5 - Ep 12)

Today on Exploring the Marketplace , Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson welcome professional artist and one of only nine Master Penmen in the world, Jake Weidmann . Certified through IAMPETH in 2011, Jake holds the honor of being the youngest Master Penman by three decades—and the youngest ever to achieve the title. His peers have created works for the White House, Queen Elizabeth, and even the Pope, but Jake’s journey has uniquely blended calligraphy with fine art, painting, drawing, woodworking, and engraving. Jake shares how faith shaped his career from the very beginning, even when industry professionals warned him not to make it explicit. Instead, leaning into his relationship with Jesus led to surprising opportunities, including his celebrated hymn series. He also opens up about overcoming struggles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and the “starving artist” complex, and how God has redeemed his perspective of calling. In this conversation, Jake reveals stories of marketplace miracles —from divine provision of materials like the wood for The Old Rugged Cross , to being placed before people and companies with favor and authority far beyond what he could have imagined. His life verse, Proverbs 22:29, has marked his journey: “See a man gifted in his work. He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.” 🎧 Join us for this inspiring episode as we explore faith, creativity, and God’s miraculous hand in the marketplace.
