Introducing the Creative Ministry Collective: For Kingdom-Focused Creatives
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know my story isn’t shiny or perfectly mapped out. God has shaped this ministry through real-life moments… heartbreak, healing, unexpected turns, and the quiet places where He kept pulling me back to a paintbrush.
A New Chapter for Paint & Purpose: Introducing Creative Purpose Ministries
Hey friend! I’ve been praying over this for so long, and I finally feel ready to share the vision God is growing inside this little corner of the internet. 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.
Breathe, Create, and Paint with Me: Free Waymaker Painting Tutorial
Let’s be real… life gets heavy. Some days it feels like you’re juggling kids, work, chores, and still trying to hold it all together. And by the time the house finally quiets down? You’re too tired to even think about doing something for yourself. But here’s the truth: you were never meant to live on empty. You were created to create. And even 30 minutes with a paintbrush in your hand can shift your whole day.
That’s why I put together the Waymaker Painting Tutorial — a completely free, step-by-step paint session you can do right at home. Think of it like a little creative retreat waiting for you at your kitchen table. No stress, no pressure, just paint + worship + a reminder that God still makes a way.
Letting Go to Grow: What Sacrifice Means for a Busy Mompreneur
As the new year begins, I find myself embracing a tradition that has brought focus and intention to my journey: choosing a Word of the Year. This year, my word is Sacrifice—a powerful and challenging choice. It’s not an easy word, and it’s definitely not one to take lightly. But as I reflect on my life as a mompreneur, I see how necessary it is to lean into this word and what it represents.

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. They came to a local church in Roanoke, VA, about an hour from me, and I knew I couldn’t miss it. Not only did I attend the event, but I also got a ticket for the pre-program Q&A session. It was worth every mile, every minute, and every bit of excitement leading up to it!
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.
Mindset Makeover Ultimate Challenge
Ever had that “A-HA!” moment where you know exactly what you need to do to improve your life, but then... well, actually doing it seems like a whole different story? I’m right there with you. Lately, I’ve been diving into a journey of changing my mindset (aka a mindset makeover), and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. If you’re ready for a little fun and motivation, stick around—I’ve got some insights to share!
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.
Brushstrokes of Hope: Navigating Loss Through Art and Faith
Does anyone else find it nerve-wracking to share deeply personal experiences, especially when they touch on faith and trauma? It's like opening up a vulnerable part of yourself to others. These things really hit home for me, and I genuinely hope that sharing my story brings you comfort, hope, and a little inspiration.
