"We forget about the forty years in the wilderness, we forget that if God is calling us, he didn't call us by accident, and the dreams he gave us, he didn't give to us by accident, he's very intentional from when we were in our mothers womb"

Hello and welcome to Faith and Famous the Podcast! Join your host Alan Shires as he interviews casting director and founder of Christian Casting Laura Mae Poore!

Laura Mae grew up as a Christian and felt called from a very young age to be a missionary. She also has a passion for music and began training to be a music teacher, but quit college to be with her husband. She later found herself taking up music again, only was encouraged to pursue acting as a means of broadening her opportunities, and it was from this that God showed her about a lack of representation for Christians when it came to the entertainment industry - many Christian actors either did not have Christian agents, or knew where to go when trying to pursue roles in Christian entertainment. This was where Christian Casting was birthed, and Laura Mae is passionate about educating, directing, supporting, encouraging and guiding christian actors in their journey to establishing their calling from God in the entertainment industry.

Alongside this, Laura Mae is an advocate for mothers to have the opportunity to follow their dreams, and is an incredible example of this herself, being that she does all the above with Christian Casting, alongside singing, comedy and acting, with EIGHT CHILDREN!

In this episode Laura Mae shares with us how she does it, first and foremost! and gives some fantastic advice to others, particularly mothers wanting to, or currently pursuing a career in entertainment while following Christ
