let's face it:
Most Christian art & gifts miss the mark.
Cliché. Bland. Not in context.
It's frustrating to search pages and aisles for a meaningful painting or gift and leave empty-handed.
No more hunting, friend.
Unless you really want that alone time—no judgement here.
At Mercy Creates, the art created isn't made to “match your couch” or keep up with what's viral, but to reflect your theology.
Verses are chosen from my personal study Bible—a torn, highlighted, underlined, 24-year-old book that’s been through breakups, deaths, births, recessions, depressions, and celebrations...
The words have inspired me, and I know they'll encourage you—and your friend, too.
The art is just like my coffee:
strong, bold, and with a shot of truth.

Mercy Creates
It's all about god and his faithfulness:
his mercy
creates
opportunities for
service, generosity, and courage
each and every day.
"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."
—LAMENTATIONS 3:22–23, ESV
his mercy creates opportunities for service, generosity, and courage each and every day.
Service over selling.
if it's not for you, isn't quite the right color, or you really don't need that frame? Cool. I'm not going to gaslight you that cyan and cerulean are the same or pressure you to break your budget.
Exegesis > Eisegisis.
Any verse written needs to be context-checked; no trends, no fluff, no quick verse for a quick sale.
Live & give generously.
With all the resources, time, money, anything and everything—at the end of the day, money is cool… but you being encouraged by Scripture is better.
we operate under these values:
Mercy creates started small
like real small—like only $25 small...
The debt clean-up did happen, but Mercy Creates became something different entirely—a creative studio that pairs beautiful, biblically rooted artwork with deep discipleship and design integrity.
What began as a side hustle became something I couldn’t not devote my nights and weekends to: strengthen women with God’s truth… and encourage them to share it with others.
Mercy Creates equips thousands of women to anchor their homes in Scripture, deepen their walk with Jesus Christ, and create without compromising their convictions.
Mercy Creates was published with a handful of Etsy listings—floral wreaths with Bible verses from the “30 Days of Bible Lettering” Instagram challenge. The business started with a goal of cleaning up debt (Hey, FPU alumni!) and that big dream… didn’t happen.
Not even in the slightest.
The year was 2017,
2018, 2019, 2020 ...
2026 and beyond
