Engage Art Engage Culture, Engage Scripture, and Engage Art. Visit engageart.org to learn more about Engage Art. Engage Art seeks to transform culture through art.

We showcase original Scripture-inspired art from artists across the world to inspire everyone to take time to Engage Culture, Engage Scripture, and Engage Art. More specifically, we want to support artists, both personally and professionally, and we want to shift the culture from division to unity both inside and outside the church. Four big goals power this vision:
• To reintroduce artists to Scripture as a source of inspiration;
• To transform people through art as it portrays Scripture in ways that touch the soul;
• To remind the church of the value and purpose of artists and their art; and
• To encourage people to establish a lifelong daily habit of reading, reflecting on, and responding to Scripture.

There is always another email, another deadline, another responsibility.

Creative work can easily become the thing we will return to “when there’s time.”

So here is the question:

What deserves your creative attention this week?

Maybe it is an unfinished painting, a chapter you have not touched in weeks, a song, a design, a photograph, or an idea that has not made it out of your head yet.

Art Lab gives you 90 intentional minutes to stop postponing it and begin.

Bring the work. We will bring the community.

🗓️ October 15
⏰ 12:00–1:30 PM ET
📍 Join via Zoom

What are you making space for this week? Tell us below and save Art Lab through the link in our bio.

Look closely at the words winding through the child’s hands in “Dear Children.” Jennifer Sowders painted her young nephew in watercolor, watercolor pencil, and ink, turning the call of 1 John 3:18 into something he can almost hold: love shown through action.

Today’s Proverbs 22:6 asks us to consider the path we place before children. They notice what we do. We chose this work because Jennifer’s tender observation and inventive use of text make that truth visible without losing the painting’s own voice.

Artwork of the Week: “Dear Children” by Jennifer Sowders
2026 Engage Art Contest Finalist and 1st Place winner.

What act of love did an adult show you when you were young that still shapes you today?

Children learn from the faith we live, not only the words we say. 🌱

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
— Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)

A prayer before school. A patient answer. An honest apology. Small, repeated moments can help a child see what walking with God looks like. Today, choose one way to model the faith you hope to nurture.

Who helped shape your faith when you were young?

Take one small step together: read Scripture with a child in your life this week.

A setback can change your plans. It does not have to define your response.

“I worked even harder. But I didn’t get bitter.”

Bill Bantz shares this reflection in Day 1 of DRIVEN: Lessons From a Serial Entrepreneur. His story opens a conversation about adversity, faith and the choices we make when life does not go as planned.

For artists, creatives and entrepreneurs, disappointment can feel personal. Take a moment to listen to Bill’s story and bring your own questions to God.

A verse can stay on a page—or become part of how we live.

In Philippians 4:9, Paul encourages us to put what we have learned into practice. That invitation reaches into the ordinary moments of our day: how we respond when we are frustrated, how we treat a neighbor, and whether our words are followed by care.

What is one small, faithful action you could take today? It might be a conversation, an apology, or a few minutes given to someone who needs your attention.

Share one way you want to put your faith into practice this week.

Sometimes the bravest words are “Will you pray with me?”

James 5:16 calls us to honest confession and prayer for one another. We were never meant to face every burden in isolation. A caring community can listen, pray, and walk beside us without pretending to have every answer.

Today, ask someone you trust for prayer, or reach out to someone who could use encouragement. You don’t need to share private details here: what is one way we can make more room for prayer in our everyday lives?
