Jill calls herself an “Encounter Artist.” She is a finger painter, author, poet, playwright, motivational speaker, and ordained Pastor who uses creativity to reach people with the truth, love, and power of Christ. She and her husband, Brae, are passionate about seeing others walk out their creative destinies. They founded Kingdom Creativity International and Kingdom Writers Association to build community and encourage, equip, and empower Christian creatives around the globe. God is amassing an army of creatives for such a time as this to “terrify the enemy.” (Zechariah 1:18-21) Jill’s book, Supernatural Creativity: Creating with God for Restorative Impact, is a creativity masterclass that helps readers discover and walk out their creative calling, and her most recent book, The Bride in Combat Boots: A 21st Century Call to Arms for the Bride of Christ, invites readers to think seriously about their creative expression, whatever it may be, and to join God’s army.
