When I first launched my website, artists wrote to me from around the world. They longed to creatively engage in the arts as a response to their faith. Yet they were plagued by all sorts of concerns. Real and pressing worries crippled them and diluted their passion as artists.

​

While reading their emails, I found myself thinking, "I've been there! I understand. I know just who can help walk you through to success."

​

Not me! I could never be the sort of coach, mentor, strategist, creative director, financier, or every other sort of resource that you, as a Christian artist, will surely need to pursue your calling. But God could, and would.

Gently Awakened is part memoir interspersed with art and poetry. It is a testament to God's incredible faithfulness and unchanging character. He is reason enough for you to confidently pursue art as an expression of your faith.
