Visual
Theology.

Visual Theology began in 2015 when I teamed up with author Tim Challies to answer a simple question: how can a writer and designer help people understand the Christianity and the Bible better? What started as a few posters has grown into a global resource—books, curricula, and visuals that are now used in churches, classrooms, and homes all over the world to make theology both clear and compelling.

FAQ.

Are you the Visual Theology guy?
icon

Yes — I co-founded Visual Theology with Tim Challies. Together we’ve created books, curriculum, and a design brand that’s been used by churches all over the world. That experience shapes how I approach every project: combining biblical clarity with creative excellence.

Where can I get Visual Theology posters, books, or curriculum?
icon

Those resources are available at visualtheology.church. That’s the best place to browse, purchase, or learn more.

What kinds of projects do you take on?
icon

I primarily partner with churches to create sermon series branding, visual identities, curriculum, and creative systems that serve the mission of the church. At the same time, my design work translates beyond ministry — I’ve led high-profile projects for hollywood stars, businesses, and mission-driven organizations, and I’m comfortable operating at both the local church and national brand level.

Do you only work with large, high-profile clients?
icon

Not at all. While I work on large-scale projects, I still love to partner with smaller churches and organizations when my schedule allows.

Do you only work with churches?
icon

Nope! I've worked with Universities, Home Builders, movie stars and lots of other people and businesses.

What is your availability like?
icon

Because I serve full-time as Creative Director at my church and still work on Visual Theology, I take on only a select number of additional projects each year. This allows me to give each project the attention it deserves.

Do you do one-off projects or only ongoing retainers?
icon

Both. I take on one-time projects like sermon series branding or book design, as well as longer-term creative partnerships when the fit is right.

What’s your process for starting a project?
icon

I start with discovery: understanding your goals, audience, and challenges. From there, I create design solutions that are strategic, simple, and aligned with your mission.

Can you consult with our creative team instead of doing the design yourself?
icon

Absolutely. I often step in as a consultant or outside creative director, helping teams strengthen their design systems, branding, or communication strategy. I also lead workshops on creative direction, production, tech, and building systems that help teams thrive.

Do you speak at events?
icon

Yes — I’m available for speaking, training, and workshops for churches, conferences, and creative teams.

How do you handle budget?
icon

I prioritize projects where design can make the greatest impact. Every project is unique, so I don’t use set packages — instead, I scale solutions to fit both smaller churches with limited resources and larger organizations with complex needs. My goal is always to align the scope of work with your mission and the value it can bring.

What makes you different from other designers?
icon

I combine 25+ years of design leadership with deep knowledge of the church and evangelical world. My work sits at the intersection of theology and design — helping churches and organizations communicate timeless truth in ways that are clear, compelling, and visually excellent.

What’s the best way to work with you?
icon

Reach out with your project details. If I’m not available, I may be able to recommend other trusted designers or resources.
