Pull up a chair.

There comes a moment in every life when we realize we've been moving so quickly that we've forgotten how to simply notice.

Notice beauty.

Notice wonder.

Notice the quiet ways God has been inviting us into a deeper life all along.

For me, that moment came when I stepped away from creating prayer art jewelry after more than a decade. I thought I was closing a chapter. Instead, God was opening one.

He wasn't asking me to become someone new.

He was inviting me back to the practice.

The practice of creating.

The practice of paying attention.

The practice of faithfully showing up to the ordinary moments where He so often meets us.

Over the past year, that journey has led me to new stories, new books, new creative mediums, and a renewed sense of wonder.

And somewhere along the way, I realized I didn't want to walk this road alone.

So I set another place at the table.

Welcome to The Practice.

The Practice is a year-long creative journey designed to help you create faithful rhythms that deepen your faith, awaken your creativity, and help you live this one beautiful life with greater intention.

This isn't about becoming an artist.

It isn't about creating perfect things.

You don't need experience.

You don't even need to believe you're creative.

You simply need a willingness to pull up a chair.

Together we'll spend a year writing, praying, painting, wondering, telling stories, and discovering that creativity is less about talent and more about paying attention to the Creator.

Because when we create, we slow down.

When we slow down, we notice.

And when we notice, we begin to recognize God in places we may have overlooked before.

Throughout the year we'll explore...

+ Ways to find your spark again
+ Creating faithful rhythms that fit real life
+ Discovering new creative mediums without fear
+ Capturing your story before it's forgotten
+ Learning to notice beauty in ordinary days
+ Creating through seasons of grief, transition, and hope
+ Letting curiosity become part of your spiritual life
+ Living with open hands instead of waiting for "someday"

It's an invitation to become more awake to the goodness in your life today.

What You'll Receive

Beginning in September, we'll journey together through twelve thoughtfully designed monthly experiences.

Each month you'll receive a package.

Five of the months will be a beautifully curated digital package delivered to your email inbox. Seven of the months, a delightful physical package will arrive in your mailbox, inviting you to slow down and create with your hands or sit down and curl up with a book.

Through these packages you'll receive...

✨ Three new books

As part of this journey, 3 new books by Jessy Paulson will be released:

+ The Way of the Faithful Creator

This book arrives in your first package in September as you begin this year long journey. It outlines 10 guideposts to rediscover creativity as a faithful practice of slowing down and paying attention.

+ Nothing is Precious and Everything is Sacred

Filled with powerful stories from my own life, this second book is a call to stop saving our good things for someday and begin using what we have—our gifts, our stories, our creativity, and our lives—to create movement and meaning today.

+ Seeking Wonder
The final book is a storytelling reflection on the journey of finding our creative spark again and learning to live with curiosity, openness, and wonder at what God might be creating next.

Each book builds upon the last, creating a year-long journey of story, prayer, artwork, and reflection.

✨ Art kits

Thoughtfully curated creative experiences delivered right to your mailbox, including:

+ Wonder.fully Wrecked Junk Journal to help get your creative juices flowing

+ Painted Prayer Workshop Kit which includes all of the supplies you need for the virtual Painted Prayer Workshop experience.

+Scrappy Creative Box to assist you in playing with new art mediums.

Each package is designed to invite you away from perfection and back into curiosity to find creative joy.

✨ Guided digital creative experiences

Throughout the year we'll explore topics like:

+ storytelling

+ creative rhythms

+ noticing

+ capturing the beauty around you

+ cultivating curiosity

Each month builds naturally on the one before it through heartfelt letters, deep devotionals, and honest questions.

✨ Painted Prayer Workshop

We'll paint together.

Not to create something perfect, but to experience creativity as prayer.

You'll receive your workshop materials ahead of time so all you have to do is pull up a chair. Plus you'll get a recorded guide that you can use going forward.

✨ The newest edition of Gritty Faith Magazine

You'll receive the next edition of Gritty Faith Magazine, filled with stories from creators around the world who are faithfully living their own journeys.

✨ Behind-the-scenes access

Through my monthly letters, I'll invite you into my own creative process.

You'll hear the stories behind the books and the questions I'm wrestling with as I write.

You'll get a peek inside my messy workshop and the artwork I'm currently creating.

You'll get to see the projects still taking shape on my kitchen table.

You'll witness the making—not just the finished work.

And along the way, my daughter Charley will join us from time to time, sharing her own artistic perspective, favorite mediums, and encouragement as a young creator finding her own voice.

Is The Practice for me?

The Practice was created for you if...

✓ You've been longing for a slower, more intentional way of living.

✓ You miss feeling creatively alive.

✓ You've convinced yourself you're "not creative" and feel stuck in life.

✓ You're navigating a season of change and wondering what's next.

✓ You want to deepen your faith in tangible, everyday ways.

✓ You love stories, books, beautiful paper, art supplies, and meaningful mail.

✓ You simply want someone to remind you that your life is worth paying attention to.

The Practice is for anyone who has ever longed to live a little more intentionally.

It's for the longtime reader of my work, who has found comfort in the Daily Prayer emails and simply enjoys pulling up a chair to hear the stories God is writing through my life. If you were once part of my Intercessor Circle, you'll find that same heart here—reimagined and renewed for this next season.

It's for the creator, entrepreneur, writer, artist, or maker who longs to move beyond bursts of inspiration and into faithful, sustainable rhythms of creating.

It's for the person who doesn't think they're creative at all but feels a quiet tug that there must be something more. More wonder. More beauty. More purpose. More room to breathe.

Whether your hands are busy raising children, building a business, tending a garden, writing your first page, or simply learning to notice the sacred in your everyday life, there is a place for you here.

Because The Practice isn't about becoming someone else.

It's about becoming more fully yourself—the person God created you to be—one faithful rhythm at a time.

A Place at the Table

When I picture The Practice, I don't picture a classroom.

I picture my own kitchen table.

Coffee mugs.

Paint brushes.

Open journals.

Half-finished ideas.

Laughter.

Prayer.

Questions.

Crumbs of food scattered here and there.

A little bit of glitter that somehow never gets cleaned up.

Real life happening alongside creative work.

That's what I hope you'll find here.

Not another membership.

A place to return.

Again.

And again.

And again.

A place that feels like home.

Investment

The Practice
