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.
Finding Purpose in the Battle: Stand Firm in Faith for Such a Time as This
Hey there friend! There’s an alarm sounding for the Church… and it’s time for us to wake up and suit up in the Armor of God.
I couldn’t sleep one night recently. My mind was racing, and I knew God was stirring something in my heart. I felt Him whisper, “It’s time to rise up. It’s time to speak out in love and truth.”
So even though this was way out of my comfort zone, I decided to step out in obedience, because this message isn’t just for me. It’s for all of us.
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.
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.
