Who Should Not Enroll?

This course is not for you if you’re looking for art lessons. There are many great artists that provide art lessons. You can view some of them here. Our courses are more about growing closer to God rather than whether or not the art is perfect and correct.

You should also not enroll if you are looking for advanced techniques. This is a BEGINNER course. It’s designed to for people who are not currently Bible journaling or are looking for a foundational course.

How Can I Start the Course?

The first email that you receive includes the first course. You’ll receive the next class on the next day for ten days in a row. You can save the emails so you have access to the course at a later date. Especially if you’re busy. We just ask that you open the email so that our system knows you want to receive our emails. Thanks!

What Supplies are Needed?

We recommend that you take begin the course prior to buying supplies so that you don’t over buy things you don’t want or need. A list of budget supplies and high-quality high-value supplies is provided in class #1.

Why is This Bible Journaling Course Free?

This course took hundreds of hours to design, film, edit, and launch. All of my friends think I’m completely crazy for putting that much work into something that’s free. But, here’s my response to all of the “eye-rolling” and perplex looks:

Everyone should have the opportunity to grow in the Word regardless of their location, schedule, or budget. Period. 

The content that is shared in this 10-day course is necessary to understand the basics and feel comfortable beginning the process of Bible journaling. This course answers almost all of the beginner questions that I have answered since starting this ministry.

Will Future Courses Be Free?

Future courses will have a small fee associated with them, but they’re not necessary courses. They will build upon this foundational course. We continue to share technique videos on our YouTube, which are free! We also give away a monthly freebie printable (valued at $4.99) to everyone who is on our email list. If you take this course, you’ll automatically be signed up for that freebie. Yay!

How Can You Stay In Business If You Give So Much Away?

At this time Bible Journaling Ministries operates at a loss, but we hope that it won’t be for very long! We don’t ask for donations.  We try to give away as much as we can, including this Bible journaling course to encourage you to grow in the Word. We make a small fee when you click on our links and purchase items that we recommend, any of our products or courses, and we are also supported by Ads. We never recommend something we wouldn’t buy ourselves.

Can I Share This Course?

Yes. You can share this Bible journaling course…but share this page only. Please don’t share any of the course pages or the password that you get. It’s unfair to the person who is taking the course if they don’t go in order.  We also don’t want to have to put a virtual wall up around this course. It requires extra login work for you and extra money on our side. We prefer to spend our money on the freebies we make for you.  Thanks!

Can I Unsubscribe?

Absolutely! Just click the “unsubscribe” link on any of our emails and you will give your seat up. You won’t receive any emails or get notifications from us including our monthly freebies. We don’t want to send you something you don’t want! Every email we send cost our ministry money. If you’re not opening our emails (or if you don’t mark us as safe and we get a bounced email) we’ll eventually remove you from the list as well.

What Do I Need to Download the Files?

You’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to download our free files. Most computers already have it installed. However, if yours does not, you can download it for free on their website.

Do I Need DropBox to Download the Bible Journaling Class Files?

No. You don’t need DropBox to download the class files. All class files will be delivered via email.

Can I get a the Bible Journaling Course on DVD?

Not at this time.

          The GOD method was helpful. Grow, Observe, Do
          Using a Bible mat
          Tracing and using stamps ( would not have thought of that )
          Reminder to Pray 1st – focus on the Word not drawing
          Doodling
          It does not have to be done in your Bible

I got the emails but could not down load anything or navigate in the email there fore I could not get any of the courses. I was not able to join in at all. However I did send you an email to let you know of this problem. Computer problem is fixed and I see a place to sign up again so am going to see if I can get in. If not then I really regret it. I never received a response to my email which I fully expected. I could get the emails but could not get into any of the links inside them.

Because I love everything that you have. I’m on state and disabled and only make $200 and that has to go to my bills. But as soon as I’m able to get more money I DEFINITELY want to buy alot of your items.

      Hi, Well I had to hold all the lessons for a while, but I just finished listening to all of them and learned a lot. I’ve taken notes, printed several printables and am ready to continue. You are so easy to follow and understand, my only comment…I wish I could have enlarged so I didn’t need to lean into the screen, but I managed. Or it might work if something you were showing were held up to the camera to get a really good look.

        This course is absolutely wonderful!
        I highly recommend it because its first and foremost emphasis is growing in God’s word.
        It approaches Bible Journaling as a method or means to amplify your time with God.
        Some “Bible Journalists” are more about creating art with a Bible page as the canvas. This course shows you simple techniques to create art as you study.
        The course clearly answers all the basic questions- what Bible should I use, what supplies do I need? etc.
        The lessons are thorough yet concise and definitely worth going through!

    It’s been very helpful and encouraging just to be myself and journal according to what I can do. It’s not about the art but the desire to spend time in God’s word.

    Your approach to teaching and your presentation of the materials is awesome! I like the way you both talked us through as well as visually showing us your techniques. Excellent for both the literal and visual student to absorb the lesson. You are able to casually (in a good way) get your point across using a very down to earth, humble dialogue. Kudos to you now and as you continue on your teaching ministry.

    This review is long but hopefully informative.

    I stumbled over bible journaling by “accident”. After watching YouTube videos on bullet journals and adult coloring books whilst wondering if my renewed love for art could be incorporated into my life to bring me REAL joy, I came across a video done by Tracie on her book review of” Complete Guide to Bible Journaling…”. I’m certain I heard my heart sing. What a wonderful way to incorporate real joy i.e. God’s word and art.

    I bought the book which really is a wonderful resource but still felt intimidated by the “professional” work the artists created. I wanted something for beginners, something that would provide step by step instructions and these videos definitely met those expectations. The book and other resources are now used with confidence.

    Watching these videos was like getting help from a childhood teacher who demonstrated patience and clarity to make learning fun and fast.

    My three (3) recommendations are (1) If you can, please invest in good supplies. I purchased a few brands of colored pencils, then based on reviews, I purchased Faber Castell Polychromos (referred to as FCP going forward) and what a difference they made!!! Compared to the scratchy cheapER pencils, they colored like butter. I wish I has just taken all the money I spent on the others to purchase a larger set of FCP. (2) Do research on supplies because I’m sure you worked hard to earn your money. I chose FCP over Prisma Premier because the latter has a soft core, therefore breaks easily. Recent reviews (late 2016/early 2017) indicate that they arrive broken ( no lottery style pencils for me!). I press hard so already fragile pencils aren’t a good match and lastly those pencils require technique to sharpen, I prefer to hone skills on more important tasks. Btw Prisma has a line called the Scholar which are for budding artists and require less care. (3) Watch the videos before making purchases. I wish I had watched her video on how to make a bible mat before I purchased a 7′”X 8″ Illustrated Faith mat that is somewhat too small for my bible (at least now I can make a replacement) and secondly, if you also purchased the fore mentioned book and researched the featured artists like I did, most sell their courses , so free is rare. Why not support this ministry by using the affiliate links for supplies you are going to buy anyway?

    I hope this review helps.

    Just enrolled in this video class am enjoying it very much. Watched the video on your many Bibles. I have a collection also that includes my grandmother’s Revised Standard Version Bible and one of my mother’s. I was wondering if you ever saw “The Story”? It reads like a book and my grandchildren really like it. It is also helping me even though I have been a Christian for a long time there are parts of the Bible I still struggle reading. Keep up the great videos and teachings.

      I’m embarrassed to admit that I have never actually sat down with a bible and read it. Originally I was going to try to follow a reading plan to read it in a year but then I stumbled upon your Facebook page and I believe that with journalling I’ll get more out of reading the passage one at a time and truly praying and thinking about it rather than seeing it as something on my to do list. I’m not an overly creative person but I’m certainly inspired by this course and the Facebook group to give this a go no matter how long it may take me 🙂 thank you for the obvious time and effort you put into this

      I just recently discovered your FB page for beginners. Almost a week ago you and your husband hosted a Bible Journaling Conference. And that conference led me here to your course. Thank you! I have been praying about actually drawing in my Bible (I am no artist) My loving husband bought me a Journaling Bible and special pens and highlighters that will not bleed through. Still nervous about it I listened to lesson four of your course…before listening to the lesson I had done my daily Bible reading and guess what verse I underlined in my oldest Bible? (John 8:12) So I printed your free download for John 8:12 and traced it in my Bible. I am now ready to give it some color. Super exciting! Thank you 🙂

    I have really learned a lot from these videos. The best parts are that they’re thorough, paced well and a taught with a teacher’s heart. They tell you what you will learn, they teach it, then they review and wrap it up. Very few videos are done this way and I for 1 day BRAVO!!

    I have been enjoying the classes a lot. I only have one journaling bible, which is the Inspire bible. I liked seeing the different types that can be used, or even a non-journaling one, The tip on putting something in between the pages is a great idea. I never would have thought of doing that. I use colored pencils mostly, and sometimes gel pens, and putting something between the pages will make things a lot easier for me. No indents on the next page. Thanks for creating this class and making it accessible for anyone to take.

Finding your website and videos have been very helpful with understanding how to use this to help enhance spending time with God and reading his word! The videos that helped me the most were how to figure out which scripture to read and journal on, choosing the right Bible and the list of accessories you need so I didn’t go out and get unnecessary things I wouldn’t use. I would definitely suggest the series of videos you offer for FREE to anyone thinking about Bible journaling but not sure or new to the experience! Thank you!!

Your first video, showing how you can journal without ANY special materials/supplies has been the most exciting. Yes, I already have some material/supplies, but I see there is NOTHING legitimately standing in the way of my getting started. Just do it, girl! (I’m telling myself.) Thanks again!

    I love this course and your Youtube videos. I had several “coloring” Bibles but wanted to do more than just color. Simply coloring seemed disconnected from the Word. Journaling the Word actually makes me focus and absorb the Word like never before, You can focus on a verse or a certain theme, person or time period. I love the Lord and this simply helps me draw closer to his Word. Thank you Tracie, you are a blessing.

    Tracie, thank you so much for the work you are doing. I stumbled across your blog 4 weeks ago and you taught me how to understand what I was reading. I have only been a Christian for about 6 years and have read the Bible many times since then. I read, but could not comprehend what I was reading. Having chosen to follow your July’s Challenge I am learning to comprehend somewhat . Some of the passages you chose were quite easy to find “waiting”, but others I had to really wrap my brain around what they had to do with this challenge. As a result I dissected the verses and experienced several aha moments and really got the message. I now believe that God directed me to your blog. Thank you, please keep doing what the Lord has placed on your heart and God Bless You.

    Hi
    Being a newbie to Bible Journaling I was worried about my artwork. I am a crafty person but no way am I an artist. But now I know it is not about the artwork it is being closer to God. He already knows my artwork is not perfect!! 🙂
    I also make greeting cards. I am amazed that there is so many supplies that I already have I can use in my bible.
    Thank you for taking your time and making these videos and sharing them with us.

    I have really enjoyed this course. It’s one of the best ones I’ve taken because it walks you through the basics and Tracie is so personable that it’s like sharing a cup of afternoon tea with a good friend. The course is broken up into bite sized, manageable pieces and the downloads are really sweet too. I love the owl printables. They are a hoot! If you are a seasoned Bible journaler or someone just starting out, you will really enjoy this course. I highly recommend it! So much fun and a great way to draw closer to our wonderful Lord and Savior!

    Thank you so much for this brilliant introduction to Bible Journalin. I was bought my Journaling Bible as a gift following a serious of illnesses and then a stroke. A whole new community has opened up to me and how nice to meet fellow Christians reading God’s word and being creative together. What a privilege to worship our Creator in such an expressive and creative way. I’m loving the course and just love how you encourage to be ourselves and journal how we feel led – Thank You. Living in Northern Ireland I don’t have access to lots of crafting material but as you said in the first lesson all you need is a Bible, a pencil and a few doodles!! XX

    Our Sunday school class is studying spiritual warfare and doing the War Room bible study. I don’t have room for a War Room so I decided to do a binder instead but I’m a scrapbooker so I really wanted some ideas for how to tie my love for art into my studying. To be honest I haven’t had time to do much of anything yet but I can see the hours of work you’ve put into this site and the beginner class and I’m humbled to be allowed access for free. It’s a wonderful blessing and encouraging for me to dig deeper and get more out of my bible study.

    I totally agree with the review by Jeanne H. I wish I had found your series of beginner videos a couple of months ago. I too feel totally overwhelmed with the beautiful, colorful art pages featured in most of the book about Bible journaling and love your beginner suggestions. I bought a journaling Bible and was completely paralyzed at the thought of drawing or coloring over the words of scripture. After making lots of mistakes and ruining several pages of the new Bible I decided to “go for it” and try some of the full page artwork, tip-ins, etc.. Since it was already “ruined” I figured I couldn’t mess it up worse than it was. Now I have a second Bible that is still pristine after a week of trying to start journaling in it. Your videos have given me ideas on how I can begin more slowly with it. I love the clear label sheets to make see-thru stickers. I’m a little intimidated by the price but after your video I can see where they would be a good idea.
    I really appreciate your tip about putting washi tape on the page before doing tabs–great idea! The pages are thin enough to tear so easy, I’m sure the tape would really help firm them up.
    Than you for the free series and I’ll be sure to watch your other videos on YouTube. God bless your ministry.
