“God didn’t tell us
to condemn entertainment.
He said to light it up.”
Christian performers are rising and shining like never before... in film, fashion, music, theatre, and more. Be a part of God's movement in media!
Are you destined to become a star for God?
Media is your lightning-fast track!
My mission, Shine's mission, is to raise a new generation of action stars to succeed in the mission fields of media, specifically as ambassadors for Christ: loving, prepared, and irresistibly cool. This Age of Entertainment was made for your entrance. Your destiny is to be an influencer: to know your purpose, to multiply your talents, to become a role model... and ultimately, to point the way for millions of seeking hearts to find and follow the only true Hero. Jesus.
"Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
A time of instant messaging and non-stop entertainment
Inarguably, the entertainment industry is the most influential mission field on earth. Harm has come from thoughtless stars and negative messaging. So why did God allow its massive construction?
For His purposes! For His glory! For His own stars to rise and shine like never before!
A time when faith and works unite, making you wise and gentle
Christ's advice to His disciples in Matthew 10:16 applies today. Go into the world. Meet culture head-on. Be savvy. Study the field. Be excellent. Be prepared. Be disciplined.
Make friends with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control!
A time when true stars know... Fame is a gift & a responsibility
The #1 desire of children today is to "be famous." Kids follow their favorite stars with a great desire to copy them: to dress, act, and be like them. Undeniably, fans need to see good role models and positive examples.
To whom much is given, much is required.
A time when believers are diverse, relevant & relatable...
Because lots of people have the wrong idea about Jesus,
based on haters who call themselves Christians,
but they don’t act like their Namesake! Therefore, Christian performers are rising...
In love, not judgment, because that’s what Jesus did!
“Christ’s Work Is Less A Crusade Against Evil, Than An Assertion Of Good By Precept And Example, As The Surest Means In The End Of Removing Evil...”
Reverend Marvin Vincent, 1866
Carey is the "mother," "grandmother," "auntie," and spiritual sister of many Christian performers on a life-changing mission.
Shine Actors, Singers, Dancers, Models, and Influencers... form a worldwide family.
Connected by God, talent, faith, and courage.
"Carey not only teaches industry knowledge, but she gives wisdom from the word of God!!!"
Umiika, Actress (L.A.)
"It was (and is) such a joy to be part of the Shine program. The coaching and training I received was invaluable and covered every possible aspect of the entertainment industry that VIPs look for.
I don't believe that there is any other place where you can get the depth of training across so many different areas of the industry as you can through Shine.
The ongoing support, even after the official training is finished, is also what makes this program very special. It becomes like a family. But, for me, one of the most important aspects is that you are taught how to navigate this industry through a Christian perspective.
I highly recommend Shine by Carey Lewis to anyone seeking to either begin or up their game."
Jan C, Actress (Toronto)
"After reading Carey’s (Substack) exhortation, I am GOOD! I am no longer confused about where I'm needed.
"I started reading Carey's post about being the light that shines in dark places. I'm encouraged as a Christian to guard my light so it will not be swallowed up by darkness. Better still, my light must extinguish the darkness around me.
The Holy Spirit has visited my whole being and dealt with challenges that have been lingering in my life. Thank you, Carey, for caring so much about me and everyone. I am so uplifted."
Iva H, Actress (Las Vegas)
"Shine is an excellent place for people who want to learn the “how-to” of the entertainment industry.
Being a marketable player is a key factor to success. It's a great place for all ages and experience levels, and you'll discover things about yourself you never thought possible."
Julia Scheider, Ambition Talent Agency (Toronto)
"Shine gave me confidence that I can do this.
I thank God for bringing me here and learning more in Shine than in 4 years of university training.
I thank Carey and the Shine team for believing in me, and encouraging me to take the next steps forward in life… and truly shine."
Gabriel, Actor, Singer, VO Artist (Dallas)
"I’ve been affiliated with Shine for over 25 years. Carey and her team are people of integrity. They genuinely love the performers they seek to serve. I trust them, and you should too."
Blaine Barcus, President, Integrity Records (Nashville)

"Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth
And deep darkness the peoples;
But the Lord will rise upon you
And His glory will appear upon you.
Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising."
Isaiah 60:1-3 (NASB)
