152: Kristen Kludt and the Art of Life with God

Kristen Leigh Kludt is co-creator of Field Guides for the Way and author of A Good Way Through: My Journey with God from Disappointment into Hope. Today, Kristen shares how art brought her closer to the Lord in a time that she didn’t understand what he was doing. Through her struggles with infertility she grew deep friendships and found a relationship with God more connected than ever before. Now, she inspires others to find their own connection with God using her experience and love for art. Listen to Kristen’s story today! Stories Kristen shared:

What Field Guides for the Way is about
Growing up in a Christian family in Wisconsin
What her relationship with God was like early in her life
Wrestling with God through infertility
The reflection her therapist gave her about God
How discovering creativity helped
How the Spirit works through the Bible
Learning to live in God’s love for her
Waking up and deciding to write a book
How Field Guides for the Way was born

Great quotes from Kristen:

I was afraid of the darkness inside of me.

For me, meditation looks a lot like art.

Art is less about creating a product and more a language with which I can speak and listen to God.

The beauty of God’s faithfulness was not in the fact that I got what I wanted I got what I wanted.
