Printable Scripture Coloring Page: John 1:12

Hi friends!  I have another memory verse printable coloring page for you! You can see them all here. You can ask your kids (or adults!) a few questions about this verse: What’s required of us to become children of God? (receive Him/believe on His name–remember that the faith to do this is a gift as Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us) What is the gift that we get from God? What does it mean that you get the right to become...

Easter Scripture Printable Coloring Activity Page

My girls and I have been memorizing Isaiah 53:6 this week in anticipation of Easter. We’ve been talking about what it means to go astray from God and how we all do it! God is so good and isn’t okay with losing his wandering sheep. He loves us so much He planned for Jesus to lay down His life in order to take the punishment for our sins. Here’s a coloring page you can work through with your kids...

valentine’s card printable

Creating fun printables for you is one of my favorite things to do. I was thinking of my daughters and their classes at co-op when I drew these. I wanted something fun that would work for boys and girls. You can print this file on 8.5 x 11 paper. I used plain cardstock. To cut in fours, make cuts at the 4.25 and 5.5 inch marks. They will fit in A2 envelopes. You can download the file HERE. My...

Polar Bear Facts Printable Coloring Page and Craft

For art these past few weeks we’ve worked on making some polar bears for homeschool, so I made a polar bear facts printable for you to download for your kiddos! I realize it’s not a very exciting coloring page since polar bears are white and penguins are white and black. Ha ha. At least the coloring-averse child will be happy! Feel free to add some light blue and gray to your polar bear’s fur. If you want to make...

Thanksgiving Art Print & Coloring Page Printables

If you’re like me–halfway through the month and realizing we’re just a few weeks away from our thankfulness holiday–let me show you some grace, Maybe it’s just the third trimester exhaustion or the super-practical part of me talking, but I’m a little resistant to putting all of the pressure on one season or one day. I’m not saying we shouldn’t do our best to celebrate a holiday, but I try to take the pressure of myself to cram all...

This episode of The Pictured Word Podcast is Chapt This episode of The Pictured Word Podcast is Chapter 3 of the Jesus Speaks to Women Series on the words Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well, found in John 4:1-42. You can listen on the Marydean Draws Substack page or on most podcast apps. 
❤️
In this study, I examine the common assumptions we often hear about this story, provide important cultural context, and try to understand what the conversation between Jesus and the woman, the longest recorded between Jesus and anyone in the Gospels, is actually about.

Here is the episode link:

❤️Welcome to The Pictured Word podcast, where I look at Scripture through a curious writer and artist’s eyes, draw on the beauty found in the tradition of Christian art, and learn from the insight of Biblical scholarship. Whether you come to the Bible weary, wounded, or wondering, my goal is to help you see the Jesus revealed there.

This print in my newest collection of hymn prints This print in my newest collection of hymn prints is a really special one and the first time I've made a horizontal print. “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by James Weldon Johnson and his brother Rosamond Johnson was written in 1900 and became known as the “Negro National Hymn” or “Negro National Anthem.” You might recognize it as the song that opens the Super Bowl each year. James Johnson was an educator, lawyer, and author, and his brother Rosamond was an accomplished musician. You can read more about the brothers in the post I wrote about them below.

Here's the link to the print that comes in 8x10" and 11x14":

I'm getting ready to record the podcast episode on I'm getting ready to record the podcast episode on the Samaritan woman in John 4. I'm wondering what you've been taught or have assumed about her and the point of her extensive conversation with Jesus. Through studying this story, I've changed my mind about most of my previous assumptions! Podcast episode coming this week on The Pictured Word Podcast!
