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.
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.
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.
