Puppets, Pages, & Jesus | Using the Arts to Tell God’s Story (With Katie G.)

What does creativity have to do with the Gospel?
More than we sometimes realize.

In this heartfelt and joy-filled episode of the Journey of Grace Podcast, I’m joined by my friend Katie — a Christian mom, storyteller, and creative who designs puppets, creates stuffed animal characters, and writes faith-based stories that gently point hearts toward Jesus.

Together we talk about how God uses imagination, storytelling, and simple obedience to reach people in ways we might never expect. From puppets and pages to everyday faithfulness, this conversation is a reminder that ministry doesn’t always stand behind a pulpit — sometimes it’s sewn, written, or spoken through creativity.

We also reflect on the truth of Romans 12 that we are one body with many parts, each uniquely gifted by God and called to use what He has placed in our hands.

One of the most powerful moments in our conversation came with this reminder:
“Sometimes, we think we always have to do things the same way — go in the front door, if you will. But what if God is calling out our creativity and saying, ‘Hey… let’s go through the roof?’”
Just like the four friends who brought their friend to Jesus by lowering him through the roof, we’re reminded that faith sometimes looks like creative, determined obedience.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your creativity could be used by God…
if your gifts feel small or unseen…
or if you’re simply looking for encouragement to keep showing up faithfully — this episode is for you.

✨ Be sure to follow the podcast so you don’t miss our upcoming episode:
“Even Here — When My World Fell Apart and God Stayed.”
And watch for our next Between the Sessions devotional, created to help prepare our hearts for that conversation.

Thank you for walking this Journey of Grace with us.
