I believe that faith grows best when it is practiced intentionally.
Not perfectly. Not without interruption. Not only in the quiet seasons when life cooperates and the calendar is clear.
But intentionally — with tools in hand and a willingness to show up on the page even when the words are hard to find.
That conviction is what gave birth to the Old to New journals.
What They Are
The Old to New journals are a series of spiritual formation journals designed to help you document God’s faithfulness, practice the disciplines that deepen faith, and move — one intentional page at a time — from a hurried life to a holy one.
They grew out of a season of intentional spiritual formation that changed the way I practice faith — a Fuller Theological Seminary cohort that introduced me to ancient disciplines I had never encountered in years of faithful church attendance. Disciplines like the Examen — pausing at the beginning and end of each day to recognize God’s presence in it. Gratitude journaling. Intentional, Scripture-rooted prayer for the people you love most.
I left that season with a full bag of practical tools — and a deep conviction that these tools were not meant to stay in a seminary cohort.
They were meant to be accessible.
To the woman who has never heard the word Examen but who would practice it every day if someone just showed her how. To the father who wants to pray more intentionally over his family but does not know where to start. To anyone in a season of grief, transition, or waiting who needs something more than good intentions to anchor their faith.
The Old to New journals were my answer to that conviction.
What Is Inside
Each journal includes:
- Space to document God’s faithfulness day by day — because the moments we do not write down are the ones we are most likely to forget
- The Examen practice — a simple morning and evening rhythm of recognizing God’s presence in your day
- Gratitude journaling — the daily discipline of naming what is good even when the hard things are loud
- Intentional prayers to pray over your spouse, your children, yourself — and your future spouse, future children, or grandchildren if they have not yet arrived
- Scripture and prompts designed to move you from surface-level reflection to genuine spiritual depth
For Men and Women
The Old to New journals come in two designs.
The women’s version features a warm, feminine design that feels like a quiet corner and a cup of coffee.
The men’s version features a cleaner, sharper design — same content, different aesthetic — because intentional faith is not a women’s only practice. The men in your life deserve these tools too.
If you are looking for a meaningful gift for a husband, a father, a son, or a friend who is ready to go deeper in his faith — this is it.
Who They Are For
These journals are for anyone who has ever wanted to be more intentional about their faith but did not know where to start.
For the woman in a season of grief who needs a place to put what she is feeling and what she is holding onto. For the couple who wants to pray together but keeps running out of words. For the person who has been a Christian for years and suspects there is a depth of practice they have not yet found.
For anyone who wants to document the story God is writing in their life — so they can look back one day and see His faithfulness clearly.
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 1:6
