The Mission of True and Lovely Co.
True and Lovely Co. turned three years old back in April(which is kind of wild). I’ve shared how this ministry got started, but I’ve never really talked in-depth about the mission of True and Lovely Co. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to share it, but it can be hard when Instagram limits characters and doesn’t give a lot of space for elaboration. The mission of True and Lovely Co. is fairly straightforward: to share Christ and creatively encourage Bible study and Biblical literacy through Bible journaling, Bible teaching, and resources. Why is this the mission of True and Lovely…

God, Give Me a Sign
Have you ever just thrown your hands up in frustration or overwhelm? Pleading, “God, give me a sign you’re there, please!” I know I have. There have been times in my life where things are so chaotic I plead for some kind of sign from God. “God, are you there? Do you hear me?” I think a lot of Christians go through this at some point or another. Maybe we have questions about the Bible or we don’t understand why God would have us go through something we’re going through. Many of us might also feel a little bit guilty…

My Bible Study Supplies – Updated 2021
Ok, friends, it’s time to talk about my Bible study supplies – updated! Since much of what I share on the internet is related to the Bible and Bible journaling, many of the questions I get are about the supplies I use. I really don’t change my supplies around all that much, I tend to go back to the same things, but recently I’ve made a big adjustment in how I study, which has changed the supplies I reach for. I published a post about my favorite supplies about 6 months ago, but here is an updated list! Bible Study…

Making Bible Study a Habit | 3 Tips!
One of the questions I get asked the most is: “How do you find time to study the Bible?” The answer probably isn’t want you want to hear: I’ve spent time intentionally making Bible study a habit. Habits are hard to make. They take time and they take effort, but studying the Bible is so important. Why is Bible Study Important? The Word of God is a well of wisdom that leads us to a life of obedience (Psalm 119:9-11). It is a light in the darkness (Psalm 119:105) and it is hope in affliction (Psalm 119:50). The Bible is…

Why I Take a Social Media Sabbath
Social media sabbath. You may have heard the term before or you may have no idea what a social media sabbath is. The world is a busy and loud place and we are constantly connected to it. Social media is how many people get their news and it’s also how a lot of people make a living. As a content creator on Instagram, I post daily but a social media sabbath is crucial to me for a few reasons. What is a Sabbath? First, I want to define what a sabbath is. A sabbath, according to the Bible, is a…

Bible Study Tips
Bible study. The phrase seems really generic (probably because it is) and I can 100% understand that it’s overwhelming to open your Bible and “just study it.” When I first started studying the Bible intentionally, I struggled a lot with how to approach my study. The beautiful thing about studying the Bible is that the only wrong way to do it is to not do it. There are, however, things to keep in mind as you study to make it a little bit easier for you. Here are some Bible study tips I’ve picked up! Tip 1: Start with the…

Bible Study Supplies
One of the most common questions I get is “what [insert supply here] are you using?” I use a few different things regularly and have a lot of Bible study supplies that I really like. I will go over them below but I think it’s important to start with a couple things. First, the only things you NEED to study the Bible are a Bible and a writing utensil. That’s it. Second, supplies are totally up to your own preferences. Nearly all Bible pages are incredibly thin so every pen or highlighter will leave some sort of indentation or shadowing…
