Resources for Preachers and Teachers
If you are a working preacher, like me, then you are constantly looking for an image, an illustration, or a good resource to help you write that next sermon or teach that next class.
I am a cartoonist/animator as well as a preacher and theologian. Drawing and animating helps me explore and understand the text more clearly. I have devoted much of my life to creating visual interpretations of scripture and theological conversations and making them freely available to preachers and teachers like you. Scroll down to explore these resources, or use the list to navigate directly to what interests you. Enjoy!
- Download PowerPoints and Image Packs
- Sermons and Podcasts
- A Cartoonist’s Guide to the Bible
- Teaching Videos
- Visual Preacher Community
Resources You Can Download and Use Today
I create a series of cartoon style illustrations for almost every sermon I preach. They start in PowerPoint, but because we use Pro Presenter at the church I serve, I always export the slides to .jpg images. I figured, why not bundle the PowerPoint and image packs and make them easy to download for preachers and teachers like you?
This is a labor of love and all of my downloads are either FREE or $1.00. You do have the ability to pay as much as you want. Buy me a cup of coffee, that would be nice. Your generosity will help me keep going to produce more resources for you and your people.
There a two types of downloads:
- PowerPoint and Image Packs
- PDFs of Bible Studies that you can print
Use the index to sort through the various categories

Online Resources
Explore Every Book of the Bible
Find cartoons, illustrations, videos, commentaries, and other helpful information about every book of the Bible.

Spiritual Formation
Explore resources that will help you learn to grow deeper in the love of God. I’ve created many tools that dive into spiritual practices, personality types, missional spirituality, and more.

Theology
Theology is one of those scary words that either intimidates people or rallies them for a fight. It shouldn’t be that way. Theology is just the process of talking (or doodling) about God.
I have a PhD in Missional Leadership and have written and cartooned my way through such topics as The Trinity, The Church, Luther’s Small Catechsim, The Apostles’ Creed, Postmodern Epistemology, and more.

Teaching Videos
You are welcome to explore my library of videos. Each module below is an ever-growing playlist. Click the playlist menu to expand and explore.
Use them in your small group, teaching, or for personal study. I’d love to hear the ways you have used them.

Animation that Explores The Bible and Theology


I signed a book contract with Fortress Press to add to the Working Preacher Book Series. They asked me to write a book about using visuals to enhance the craft of preaching.
I need your help.
This page is dedicated to creating a community of preachers and communicators to discuss and learn about the craft of visual communication.
