No matter how much you try to push forward, it feels like there’s an invisible wall between you and the creative life you know God has for you?

You might recognize some of this…
🔹 Struggle to show up consistently in your creativity.
🔹 Battle fear, comparison or perfectionism
🔹 Feel disconnected from God’s purpose for your art
🔹 Can’t shake the like that you’re “not good enough”
🔹 Wonder if your art even matters anymore
🔹 Know God has more for you, but you just don’t know how to get there.

When these patterns linger, it’s rarely because an artist isn’t trying hard enough.

More often, there are internal beliefs, habits, or expectations quietly shaping how we show up creatively—usually without us realizing it.

“Before this course, I felt lost—unsure if my art even mattered. Now, I know it’s my divine assignment.” – Jeannette K.

💡 Here’s the truth: Your art isn’t the problem. And most of the time, it’s not a lack of discipline, talent, or faith either.

What often holds artists back is what’s shaping their thoughts, expectations, and reactions—especially when those patterns have been forming for years without being examined.

You were never meant to create in fear, isolation, or burnout. And yet, many artists unknowingly learn to create from those places over time. This is where real change begins—not by trying harder or fixing surface-level habits, but by bringing alignment to the inner places that shape how you create and respond.

When those foundations shift, everything built on top of them begins to change as well.

The Foundations Course™ is a Spirit-led discipleship experience designed to help artists establish clarity, alignment, and a new way of moving forward—starting from the inside out.

“This course didn’t just make me a better artist. It made me a whole person.” – Anita C.

This Isn’t Just About Making Better Art—It’s About Becoming a Whole, Free, Spirit-Led Artist.

The goal of Foundations isn’t perfection or performance.

It’s learning how to live and create from truth, alignment, and partnership with God—so your creativity flows from who you are becoming, not from pressure, comparison, or striving.

“I am gaining confidence and believing these truths more every day—that this gift of creativity I have is 100% from God and that I am to honor Him by using it for His glory!” — Debbie P.

“This course changed my life! It opened the door to hear God’s voice more clearly, to understand my Kingdom purpose, and to overcome years of fear and shame.” – Brenda W.

Foundations works best for artists who are willing to engage honestly, reflect prayerfully, and apply what they’re learning week by week.

Introducing The Foundations Course ™

“Before coming into the program, I was a lifelong creative stuck in overwhelm, procrastination and major resistance. I could literally feel the grip of resistance whenever I wanted to paint. Through Foundations, I realized my true identity as an artist, learned about my God given design & calling. The weekly assignments caused me to paint more often, and by week three the daily painting exercise revealed my fear and I broke through the debilitating resistance. Throughout the course, I overcame blockages that I hadn’t realized were keeping me from my full potential.

I am no longer bound. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed or fearful, if you are dealing with resistance or procrastination, take the course. This is your sign: Take The Course. Make a commitment to follow through with each weekly class and process. Pray through it, and ask God for understanding and clarity to see what He wants to reveal to you. You will not regret the breakthrough!” – June S.

What Makes The Foundations Course™ Different?

The Foundations Course™ isn’t a business course, an art technique class, or a motivational program.

It’s a discipleship-based experience that helps artists identify what’s shaping their inner life—and bring that into alignment with truth—so forward movement becomes natural instead of forced.

This course is especially helpful for artists who want to:

• Finally believe, “Yes—I was made for this!”
• Confidently believe their creativity matters and has purpose
  Create with joy instead of stress
• Hear God clearly in their creative process
• Step into their calling with boldness
• Be free from experiences & wounds that stifle creativity

Foundations works because it focuses on the inner formation that determines how consistently—and freely—you’re able to create over time.

“I joined thinking it would teach me to be successful, but God had a surprise for me… inner healing.” – Gwyn

“It’s like someone finally turned the lights on in my creative and spiritual life at the same time.” – Paul H.

This Course Is for You If…

• ✅ You’re an artist who feels unsure how to move forward in this season.
• ✅ You sometimes compare yourself to other artists, leaving you feeling inadequate or discouraged.

• ✅ You feel paralyzed by self-doubt and thoughts like, “I’m not good enough” or “Who would even care about my art?”
• ✅ You want to create art consistently but find yourself distracted, unmotivated, or lacking structure.
• ✅ You’re overwhelmed by trying to balance your art, family responsibilities, and spiritual growth.
• ✅ You feel uncertain or inconsistent in your pricing, marketing, or selling, making your art feel like a burden rather than a joy.
• ✅ You feel disconnected from God’s purpose for your art and long to integrate your faith and creativity.
• ✅ You’re tired of trying to figure this out on your own and need clear, biblically grounded guidance to move forward.

I’m worried I might not have enough time to take this course…

That’s a common concern among artists, but not to worry! Even though the course is designed as a 9 week journey, you’ll have ongoing access to the course videos and downloadable resources. On average, we recommend students set aside 2-4 hours per week to work on the course work and art projects. Foundations is designed to work with real life—not require you to rearrange it.

I’m worried I can’t afford this course. Is it really worth the money?
I completely understand how you feel. Making an investment in yourself and your creative journey can feel daunting, especially when finances are tight. But let me encourage you with this: The Foundations Course™ is not just another course—it’s an intentional, guided journey designed to help you overcome the very struggles that have been holding you back, both creatively and spiritually.

Foundations isn’t about adding more content—it’s about addressing what’s quietly been costing you time, energy, and momentum for years.

Many artists find that this kind of clarity and alignment saves them far more than it costs, both creatively and personally.
