Use your creativity to experience the word of God through Bible lettering and art
Several years ago, I stopped going to church. It was a bit of a gradual thing and one day I said to my husband that I wasn't going anymore. I had a new baby who had to be fed and put down for a nap right in the middle of the service and it drove me crazy that I was in the nursery or mother's room and couldn't even participate in the service. Why would I continue to trek across town for something that led to nothing but frustration?
He understood, and I could justify it for awhile. But then that same baby grew out of her morning nap. Yet I still didn't want to go back to church.
It was like I had gotten out of the habit of going and gotten into the habit of staying home and saying I would go next week. After some hard talk, Matt called me out on it and said, "What will we tell the kids when they realize that mom doesn't want to go to church? How will we justify them going?"
It wasn't that I didn't believe in God or anything. It was just that I had put other priorities before spending time with God. And I knew that had to change.
Fast forward to today and now Sunday's are my favourite day of the week! I don't leave home without my church journal and, during the week days, I spend time in the Word with my Bible doing lettering and art in there.
There was one simple shift that changed my attitude about spending time with God...
I merged my time with God with my God-given passion for art and creativity.
And it changed everything.
If you're striving to come closer to the Lord, or simply want to find a way to worship him while expressing your creativity, this is the course for you!
THE WAYS INTO THE WORD
With Church Journaling, become totally focused and immersed in the sermon each and every Sunday. Gone are the days of not remembering the point of the sermon or space thinking about dinner. Be active, be present and really hear the word of God.
Combining both art and the Scripture is also a fantastic way to meditate on the Word of God. Through Bible Art, create scenes to internalize the Scripture and better remember its message. Not only that, but Bible Art creates a keepsake, not just for yourself, but also for generations to come.
When there's not enough time or space to pull out all of your art supplies, a single pen is enough! With Bible Lettering, you are forced to slow down enough to really digest the words that you're reading, taking time to write them on your heart and in your mind forever.
Who is this type of worship for?
Church Journaling, Bible Journaling and Art is for you if you...
- love creating or lettering and also love the Lord
- want to slow down and focus on being present with God rather than rushing through their devotions
- have a busy life and need to be intentional about spending time with God
- want to get more out of their time in the Bible
- desire to learn more about Scripture and write the words on your heart and mind
The Scripture Creative Online Course is for anyone who wants to worship God with your creativity.
It's time to cherish your time with God and find even more joy. Let's try something new together!
Don't be scared off by...
Not being an artist
You may not consider yourself an artist but there is no caveat stating that you must be in order to worship God with your creativity! Do you enjoy creating? If so, this is the perfect way for you to draw close and spend time in his Word.
Not knowing where to start
Well, that part is easy! Since I experienced the life-changing nature of Church and Bible journaling, I have been obsessed with sharing it with others and now I've teamed up with Melissa Fischer to bring it all to you in one online course - Church Lettering, Bible Art and Sermon Notes altogether!
having to do everything perfectly
This stops me a lot too. But, unlike many other forms of art, this art isn't about the finished product as much as it's about the journey and the change it makes in you.
