Finding Joy: A Free Guided Journal, plus a Scripture Coloring Book

I’ve written Finding Joy to help you discover the profound truth that joy isn’t just an emotion but a gift from God. It’s a A 21-Day Creative, Guided Journal Experience, available as a digital or printable journal. And it’s free.

It also comes with a companion coloring book! If you haven’t opened a coloring book since you were a kid, you may not know that coloring God’s Word allows us to slow down and soak in truth of Scripture. It’s a calming, creative way to think about Scripture, reduce stress, and even open the door to thoughtful prayer. This coloring book incorporates verses from the Finding Joy Journal with easy-to-color pictures. And it’s free, too.

Three in four parents are concerned about AI’s impact on their kids, yet just 17% say they are actively trying to understand AI, according to a recent Barna study. If you don’t know how to keep your kids safe with AI, however, they won’t stay safe! Find out what you need to know in my illustrated primer about artificial intelligence.”
