Across the platform of Visual Faith® Ministry for 2023, you will find an emphasis on the Hebrew names of God as found in the Old Testament. We have selected 12 names or characteristics with which God defines Himself as found in Scripture. It is in the Old Testament that we learn of God’s attributes. It is there that we watch Him deal with His children as a loving Father who knows how to lavish love on those children while maintaining His own righteousness, holiness, grace, and mercy. The Names that He shares with us in those sacred Words help us understand who He is and how we can expect Him to react. The subtitle for this year’s emphasis is Finding Refuge in the Name of God. It is in knowing our God as clearly as possible that we find safety in turning to Him at all times and in all things. He is the Rock, the Strong Tower, the Shepherd, the One who sings over us; all those characteristics belong to Him, and it is in those Names that He defines Himself for us.

Scripture Scribing is the practice of writing a Bible verse or a passage; this daily practice slows us down, positions us to interact with the details of The Word, and often reveals nuances in even the most familiar of verses. The process of scribing allows the scribe to ponder new insights, to pray, to examine questions prompted during the process, and to receive God's gift of peace that passes all understanding. People who faithfully scribe Scripture would attest that this practice is foundational to their daily devotional time

Names of God Faithart Journal Workshop
​
VFM's theme for 2023 is the Names of God. We explore a different Name of God monthly in our Scripture Scribing practice and our monthly devotion. In addition, many visual faith practitioners have joined the Logos365 practice of living a word for the year. We wanted to demonstrate how you can create a container - a faithart journal - that would hold your visual faith practices in one place. This workshop consists of a pre-recorded video and 3 of our Names of God collections. Included are directions to create a personalized journal cover and inserts to hold all of your Names of God Monthly Scripture Scribing, Logos365, gratitude journal, daily prayer paths, and other visual faith practices. This LIVE Zoom video was recorded 1/14/23 in a special FaceBook group, and is available for purchase as a pre-recorded video. All instructions and resources will be sent in an email after your purchase.
