bible journaling

Bible journaling encourages you to reflect and respond to Scripture through visual arts.

I have been facilitating bible journaling classes for over 7 years. My bible journaling classes encourage an in-depth dive into God’s word, whether that is through individual readings, Lectio Divina or bible verse mapping. Participants in my class are given a specific passage to read and 4-5 questions to respond and reflect upon. To help us process what we read, I facilitate a “creative processing” time that brings the passage we’ve read to life through an art process and/or product. Oftentimes the art technique that we employ or the final product that we make illustrates and supports a truth from the Bible that we want to remember.

Each bible journaling class features a different maker-artist so many art styles and mediums are introduced with each Bible passage studied. The creative style of art we engage in falls into the mixed media category. Instructions are generally front-loaded so each person can work at their own pace. All art materials for the lesson are supplied. Your art can be applied to a journaling bible, paper art journal, fabric journal or just a piece of paper.

When you bible journal, expect to give yourself room to make mistakes, to try something new and to be open to where God might lead you in understanding and seeing a passage of scripture in a new light. You may be surprised by how creative your soul can be and how much God can teach you if you let go. (And spoiler alert… things will look ugly and messy before they become beautiful… but isn’t that how life is too?)

Transformed

I don’t know how you’re doing right now, but if you’ve hit a wall and need some encouragement, I’m here to tell you, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE CAN DO THIS! By no means am I riding a wave of constant optimism. In the midst of COVID-19, I have felt all the emotions ……

At Home with God

It doesn’t feel like Easter is this coming Sunday…. anyone else feel the same? It’s so surreal isn’t it? We’re not running around finding gifts for our kids’ Easter baskets, grocery shopping for a big Sunday gathering, picking which friends or family we’ll hunt Easter eggs with, packing for a long weekend out of town…

In the Wilderness

When the world “shut down” on Friday, March 13, it seemed like I internally shut down too. That first week I had a really hard time getting motivated to do anything. I was tired and anxious and stayed close to the couch for the majority of the week. I found myself in a dry place…
