What if your creativity isn’t about performance—but about presence?
Most Christian creatives are told—explicitly or not—that their gifts only matter if they serve the church’s needs.
Maybe you’ve made slides for Sunday. Designed flyers. Sung on stage. Helped with the website.
All good things.
But what if your creativity isn’t just a tool for someone else’s vision—or a gift to be used? What if it’s more?
What if your creativity is a path into deeper relationship with God, a richer way to live, and a sacred witness to what matters most?
That’s why Grace & the Gravel Road exists.
To reimagine the place of creativity in the life of faith—and to steward Christian creatives toward something more true, more integrated, more whole.
This isn’t a platform. It’s a road.
And it’s for those
Who want to believe that faith doesn’t need to put creativity in a box
Who long to experience creativity as a way to know God—not just serve others
Who are looking for a rhythm of making that feels sacred, not performative
Come, walk with me...
A Note on the Journey
If you’ve been here before, you might remember this space as something a little different.
Grace & the Gravel Road began as a home for spiritual formation—devotionals, reflections, and faith-rooted practices for life in the in-between.
That hasn’t gone away.
But then I took a pause from producing…and in that longer-than-anticipated pause, my focus narrowed. I had time to listen more carefully. To remember what had been tugging at me all along.
God’s been inviting me to explore creativity as spiritual practice for a long time.
This season is a return. Not to where I started—but to what called me here in the first place.
So if you’re new—welcome. And if you’re returning—me too.
Hi, I'm Michelle
I’ve spent years navigating the tension between creative work and sacred presence, and I believe we need a new imagination for what it means to be a Christian creative today. Here’s where I’d start:
Explore The Lost Journal
An immersive reflection that helps you think about your creativity and your faith with tenderness and honesty.
It’s not a checklist. It’s a remembering.
At the end, you’ll receive your own Remembering Journal—a space to uncover the small moments that shaped your story, the messages that stalled your making, and the sacred permission to begin again.
If you’ve been away from your creative life—or wondering if it still matters—this might be exactly where you need to begin.
