Kingdom Creative Workshop: Your First Step into Creative Ministry
Have you been feeling that little nudge… like your creativity was meant for more, but you’re not sure where to start? You’re not alone in that. So many Christian creative women feel this same pull. You want to use your creativity for something deeper. You want to encourage others. But you don’t feel ready yet. That’s exactly why this Kingdom Creative Workshop was created.
Feeling Unqualified? God Can Still Use You
I want to talk about something I hear all the time from Christian creatives. Honestly, it’s something I’ve struggled with too. That feeling of being unqualified. Maybe God has been stirring something in your heart. Maybe you feel like you’re supposed to use your creativity for something bigger. Maybe you feel called to encourage others, lead a creative group, or start a creative ministry. But then that little voice pops up in your head.
"I'm not good enough."
"I don't know enough."
"Someone else could do this better."
Sound familiar? Let me tell you something that changed everything for me. God is not looking for perfection. He is looking for obedience.
Feeling Creatively Stuck? A Message for Christian Creatives
Have you ever felt creatively stuck?
Like you know God gave you creative gifts, but you’re not sure what you’re supposed to do with them?
If you’re a Christian creative, you’re not alone. A lot of us go through seasons where we feel confused, overwhelmed, or unsure about our creative calling. Sometimes life gets busy. Sometimes fear creeps in. And sometimes we just don’t know what the next step is.
Today I just want to encourage you. Grab your coffee, grab something creative, and let’s talk about it.

A Fresh Start: Reflect, Dream, and Plan with God This New Year
I don’t know about you, but there’s just something about a new year that I love. For me, it feels like a clean slate. I know… it’s kind of just a mental thing. There’s really no difference between December 31st and January 1st. It’s just another day on the calendar. But that mental shift? It helps me so much. Every once in a while, I need to give myself a little “restart” moment to help me get back on track with different things in life. And the new year feels like the perfect time to do exactly that.
As we step into 2026, I want to guide you through something I love to do every year—reflect, plan, and dream with God. This isn’t about pressure or perfection. It’s about purpose, growth, and moving forward with intention.
When the Noise Fades: What God Often Shows Us at the End of the Year
As Christmas approaches, the pace of life starts to change. The days feel shorter, and the evenings are meant to be quieter… unless you live with kids or grandkids who treat bedtime like a suggestion or suddenly find a second wind after dinner. but even with the noise and chaos, this season has a way of slowing us down on the inside and inviting reflection.

If you’ve been around Paint & Purpose (or Imagine Nation Paint) for any length of time, you know my heart has always been to blend creativity, community, and Jesus in a way that feels real, safe, and inviting.
As I’ve been preparing for future Praise Painting nights in 2026… faith-based painting events for churches, women’s groups, Bible studies, and communities… the Lord has been tugging on my heart. What started as a simple idea to combine worship and creativity has turned into something deeper: a calling to create spaces where people can meet Jesus in unexpected, beautiful ways.

Lisa Harper and Christine Caine: A Night That Changed Everything
In December, I had an unforgettable experience meeting two incredible women I’ve admired in ministry for years—Lisa Harper and Christine Caine.

It was worth every mile, every minute, and every bit of excitement leading up to it!
7 Ways to Create Magical Holiday Memories with Family Painting Fun
If you're like me, you probably look around and marvel at how different the world is now compared to when we were kids. Remember when TV was our biggest distraction? Now it's all about computers, tablets, and cell phones. Our lives are so tech-driven! While technology is amazing, I’m always on the lookout for non-screen activities that my boys will love. That’s why I’m super excited about the new DIY art kits I've created!
This holiday season, let’s focus on creating special memories with our families. Here are some fun and creative ways to enjoy these art kits with your loved ones!
Consider This Your Creative Intervention
Do you ever scroll through your Facebook memories, stumble across posts from years back, and cringe a little? Maybe it was a time when everything felt heavy, and your posts reflected that—comments filled with frustration, negativity, and a real lack of joy. I went through this exact revelation recently, looking back at my posts from 2009 to 2011. All I could think was, “Oh my gosh, I was so negative. I was so miserable!”
Back then, I was carrying a lot—grief from losing a best friend, endless responsibilities, and the fairly new struggles of "adulting" that hit us all. But there’s one thing I can clearly see now, two thoughts that stand out the most: 1) Thank God for how far He’s brought me since then, and 2) Why the heck wasn’t I painting? Painting had always been my outlet, my therapy in high school. It was my way to escape and reconnect with myself, but somewhere along the line, I let it slip away.
Jesus Music, Memories, and a Little Magic: Our First Concert with CAIN!
Back in August, I got to experience something truly special with my son, Cam—we went to his first concert! We headed over to Osborne Baptist Church in Eden, NC, for an unforgettable night of music, thanks to K-LOVE Radio. The headliners were CAIN, one of my all-time favorite groups, and it was such an incredible experience! It was the perfect opportunity for some Mama-and-Cam time, and it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.

Creative Space Evolution: Basement Corner to Dream art Studio
When I think back to how I started hosting paint parties, it's like remembering a wild ride from daydream to reality. It all began with a simple dream—having my own art studio where I could let loose and heal.
Back in early 2020, just before COVID-19 turned everything upside down, I was going through my second miscarriage. Painting had been my therapy during my first loss years ago. So this time, I knew I needed to jump right into it to keep me from spiraling into deep depression. It was my way of finding peace amidst the storm of emotions. Art has always been my thing, ever since high school days when I'd sit in class with my headphones on, painting away.
