Take Me Deeper!! 52 Weeks!!

His Kingdom Come is so excited to announce the preparations are done and we are ready to launch

Take Me Deeper™ is a free weekly journey at His Kingdom Come beginning Friday, January 2 2015.   Take Me Deeper™ will be a weekly devotional and verse that will prompt us to spending time in His word. It is about each of us encouraging, sharing and studying the word.

Each week you will get the opportunity to translate bible study into art- mixed media, a journal, a photograph, or a digital page, poem, music. Every Friday HKC will post a verse, devotional, worship video and examples of how we interpreted the bible study in our art.  We pray that these 52 weeks will change how you approach, engage and apply God’s word in your life and art. At the end of the year regardless of how many weeks you participated, you will have created a legacy of the faith walk. This legacy will show you how God has moved in your life!

v Who can join?

We welcome anyone who wants to take their faith walk deeper into understanding God’s Word and deeper into their creativity. We will begin January 2, but you can join at any time during the year. You can’t be “behind” since this is about your personal journey with God and your creativity. The community at His Kingdom Come will walk with you, support and encourage you!

v Where will the devotionals be? 

Posts will be on the HKC site and on the HKC Facebook Page.

v Where can I share and discuss my preferred art medium? 

Discussions will be across all the art mediums, so feel free to check out each art group for ideas, questions, suggestions and creative ideas.

v So how do I start?  

First, become a member of His Kingdom Come. It is free and the first step in accessing all the creativity on the site.  Beginning December 2014, HKC will have suggestions for making a journal, decorating a journal, what journal to use, and supplies to gather.

v If I am doing other projects, can I incorporate them into Take Me Deeper?   

Yes, if you are part of the Journaling Bible community, or any other art community or project, you can mesh all the projects together.  Take Me Deeper will assist you in reading your bible, understanding God’s word, and helping you learn how to express your God-given creativity.

v What about One Little Word or My One Word?  How does that fit into this process? 

So glad you asked!  Part of Take me deeper will be the opportunity to participate in Logos365™- finding the word God gives you to focus on for an entire year. Logos365™ will be a component of Take Me Deeper.  We will offer a worksheet for you to use to discover your logos365™, discussions about how to identify your logos365™ and how to live your logos365™ out through the year.  Then, monthly Logos365™ prompts will initiate discussions about how you are doing living your word.

Welcome to a very exciting blog hop.  Today we are celebrating the launch of a brand new online Christian Creative Community: His Kingdom Come.

This is an online Community where fellow Christians can encourage, share and learn about Christianity and explore the God-given creativity that he has put in us all.  It will be a safe place to share your faith, be inspired, and explore creativity across many art mediums - journaling, mixed media, painting, bible journaling, textiles, watercolor and more.  His Kingdom Come will offer free tutorials, technique classes, devotionals, crafts to celebrate the holidays, opportunities to go deeper in your faith and in your knowledge of God and the Bible.   The website will also offer Christian artists a platform to host classes (free or fee-based) which you will be able to sign up for.

A team of talented Christian artists have come together to launch this exciting new community.  This blog hop is your chance to get to know them.

The letter to collect from my blog is:  I

Here are the prizes that will be given away!!

Let me introduce myself and why I am Part of HKC:

Brief Bio: I live in San Diego, Ca. I have been married for 14 years (Dan) and have two children Reeana (my stepdaughter) who is 21 and in college to become a Sonographer and my son Jordan who just turned 9 this month. I became a Christian when I was 18 when a group of friends took me to church. I remember we were studying the book of Revelations and after about a month of going, it was like my eyes were opened and it all started to make sense. I have had some ups and downs in my walk with the Lord. But he has always been relentless, patient and faithful in his pursuit of my soul. In the past year I have re-dedicated my life to him and he is working through me for His glory every day.

How does your faith impact your creativity? I can only create things that mean something to me, so my faith always seems to show up in one capacity or another (even when I wasn't walking closely with Him). This is how I know that even when I was far away, he was always near.

What is your preferred medium of creativity?  Mixed Media/Portraits   What appeals to you about this? I get bored very easily and with mixed media there is always something new and different you can play around with.

What other areas of creativity do you dabble in? I also like book binding and journal making

What is your role within the His Kingdom Come team?   I am co-founder of the site and one of the Admins, artists and whatever else that is needed.

What are your hopes for this new community? I hope for a place that we as believers are encouraged by one another. A place where we can learn and share our creativity, have fun, and to grow in our faith and in return go out into our communities and be Children of the Light for His Glory, honor and praise!!

Where to find me: On Facebook: Twisted Figures, art by ShonnaBucaroff, Etsy:  and His Kingdom Come

I hope you are as excited as I am at being part of this online venture.  Our vision is to build an online community not just be a project-led site.  A place where you can find encouragement, share your heart and your problems and find help.

To join our community please visit His Kingdom Come

Hey All!!!!

I hope you are all doing well!! Life has been awesome, scary, crazy, joyful and busy for me!! My baby is going to be 9 tomorrow and my other baby just turned 21 at the end of August (what?). School is back in session for my son (the 9 year old) and it has been slow in getting back into the "routine."  My boy definitely does not enjoy school as much as my girl did (and does; she is working on her BA degree). 

The biggest thing going on for me lately is the "free" online workshop I am offering called Kingdom Come. It is a Faith Art Journaling class that I felt called to do and I have been privileged to have an amazing group of people join who are all in various stages of their walk with God and with their art. Many of you are in the class so you know how great you all are!!! I have learned so much from everyone and I love seeing what God is doing in this group!!

If you are not part of the Kingdom Come group, it is not too late to join. On November 1, 2014,  I will no longer be offering the class for free (existing members of the group will have unlimited access to the videos for an unlimited amount of time). After November 1, I will still offer the class, but it will be a self-paced course for a small fee (I will keep you posted on that). I will also keep the Facebook group open for everyone (I love the fellowship). So, if you have any friends that you think may be interested in joining us; please let them know before November 1.

Here are some of the lessons from the Kingdom Come Workshop!!

I also have some ideas for other online "Faith" workshops. I hope to be working on those soon.

Kingdom Come Free Class is in Full Swing!

I am amazed at the amount of people who have joined my Free Online Spiritual Art Journal course, Kingdom Come. Right now there are about 280 and more and more are joining daily.

We just finished week one and people are posting their work in the Facebook group. I am in awe of the talent and the openness of these students. Everyone is at a different place in their spiritual walk with God and He is meeting us all where we are.

Here is a look at the first lesson. We looked at a verse in Galatians and then made a mixed media cross. It is not too late to join us!! I also have a few other online courses going on right now as well. So come over to the site and check it out.

Kingdom Come Lesson #1:

And my brand new workshop "Whimsical Wall-Hanging"  There are 9 video lessons with over 3 hours of instructions. In the workshop you will learn how to make your own stamps out of simple and inexpensive materials. Once you have made your stamps, learn how to make your own patterned fabric that will be used in the piece as part of the dress. I will also be teaching how to draw and paint a whimsical girlie on fabric. -All this for only $20
