If you’ve ever wanted to teach your children the Bible through art—but felt unsure, unqualified, or overwhelmed—you are not alone. I’ve talked to so many Christian parents, grandparents, homeschool families, and teachers who want creative faith-filled moments with their kids… but fear holds them back. Sometimes even more than 1 fear can be the issue.
Today, we’re walking through the top 10 fears Christian parents have about teaching Bible and art to their children—and simple, grace-filled solutions to each one.
You might see yourself in one (or all!) of these, or think: “I feel overwhelmed,” “I feel unsure,” or “I feel like this isn’t working.”
And that’s okay. You’re not alone. Here’s 10 fears and struggles we hear from parents about teaching Bible and Art to kids and solutions to overcome them.
We pulled the 10 biggest fears in teaching kids Bible and Art. Let’s chat through them together:
“I’m not artistic enough to teach art.”
“I don’t want to mess my kids up creatively by controlling them.”
“I don’t know how to talk about God naturally.”
“I don’t have time for Bible + art.”
“My kids are different ages — how do I teach them together?”
“Art time turns into chaos or frustration.”
“I’m afraid of teaching the Bible incorrectly.”
“My kids forget what we learn.”
“I can’t stay consistent.”
“I want faith to connect to real life, not just worksheets.”
Overwhelm is real. You can start combining Bible and Art anywhere, anytime about anything. We love a Bible timeline because it is a guide to stay on a course rather than having to pull together an entire idea. But you can also pick a theme, struggle or even a word as a springboard to creative expression.
In our coloring pages, we chose a verse based on a theme such as transportation vehicles. Now I know what you’re thinking…. Vehicles aren’t in the Bible, except for chariots, but let’s use creativity. When you see a garbage truck… how can it remind you of Jesus?
A garbage truck takes away the trash.
Jesus takes away our sins… the trash in our life that separates us from God.
Every vehicle has a purpose and so do you!
Between laundry, meals, schoolwork, and everything in between, lesson planning can feel impossible. We teach homeschoolers in a tutorial co-op, so we know Art and Bible usually get sourced by co-ops and Sunday school at church. School subjects take priority and the most amount of time each week. But you can do simple daily Bible Art lessons that will make huge impacts and transformations that last a lifetime.
I’ve been where you are- wanting to teach the Bible creatively, but feeling uncertain about where to start. Over the years, Ive discovered that you don’t need to be a professional artist or have a background in education to make faith-filled art a part of your family’s life. You just need a clear, doable approach that makes creativity feel natural, fun and deeply meaningful.
I’ve already helped countless families and educators unlock faith based creativity- and now I want to help you. Through step by step lessons, engaging projecs and practical resources, I’ll walk alongside you so that bringing the Bible to life through art becomes second nature.
You’re not alone. Let me be your guide.

Homeschoolers are used to having multiple ages being taught at home. Sometimes we aren’t sure how to teach everyone all together the same subject. We love a one room school house teaching method, especially in Bible and Art. What we have realized in our classes is the younger kids are inspired by the older kid’s art. They “ooh and ahh” over the works of art because they are impressed by what they see.
In the same respect, the older kids are inspired by the younger kid’s ability to create without all the insecurities and fears developed as we get older.
Yes, the different ages will create different levels of art but their ability to express themselves in their ages will create inspiration. You can read more about how we love teaching multiple ages all together in an all inclusive way.
If you’ve felt any of these fears, you are in good company.
