Five Talents
Jayme is the founder of Five Talents Entertainment (A for-profit endeavor) and Five Talents Fund (A 501c nonprofit). Five Talents demonstrates love for content makers through Christian discipleship and connecting art to audiences. In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 25, Jesus’ “Parable of the Talents” instructs His followers to multiply the gifts they are allowed to steward. Five Talents seeks to do this for the glory of God and the benefit of others. We partner with and serve projects and people informed by a biblical, Christian world view in five areas: film and tv, social media, visual art, theatre, and music.
