I wrote a book!
Pour Out Your Art is a Christ-centered therapeutic art guide that blends the power of visual expression with the timeless model of prayer Jesus taught: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Rooted in biblical wisdom and supported by research in neuroscience and mental health, this guide invites you to engage your heart, hands, and spirit through simple, expressive art journaling practices.
Whether you're an artist or a beginner, this book offers a structured yet deeply personal way to explore your relationship with God. Through prompts, reflective questions, and symbolic exercises, you’ll experience prayer not just as spoken words—but as color, shape, and texture.
Perfect for individual reflection, group study, or therapeutic settings, this book is ideal for:
Christian creatives and journalers
Art therapists and counselors
Spiritual directors and retreat leaders
Youth pastors and educators
Anyone longing for a more tangible way to connect with God
This is your invitation to lay your burdens down, lift your heart up, and encounter God through the healing language of art.
