May 01, 2025 Resurrecting Old Hymns For a New Generation
Jake’s book, ‘Old Soul, New Creation,’ features several artworks from his Classic Hymns Collection including “His Eye is on the Sparrow,” “Be Thou My Vision,”and “The Old Rugged Cross.” In this episode, Jake and Hannah give further insight into these hymns, their origin stories and ultimately how the couple aims to “dust off” the old hymns so that we continue to carry them into the future so that they may serve the Church until Jesus returns. Jake and Hannah share what it was like to collaborate with musical artists Bowen Abel and Christy and Nathan Nockels to better share these powerful hymns with a new generation.

‘Old Soul, New Creation,’ is officially LAUNCHED! Join Hannah and Jake as they celebrate this artistic endeavor that is now in the hands of hundreds around the world! In this episode, the couple discusses the idea of creativity as a cure for an epidemic of the fast-paced and anxious culture we live in, a topic Jake touches on in the book. Hannah plays interviewer as she asks Jake pointed questions about defying the “starving artist” stigma and how that has played itself out in Jake’s career as a professional artist. The couple passionately share their conviction about restoring art to its rightful place as worship to God and how art plays a powerful role when it serves as a means of communion with others.

If you’ve followed Jake and Hannah’s work for any length of time, it doesn't take long to realize that every art piece, whether it be a painting or a jewelry design, conveys deep spiritual truths through timeless methods of craft – with every detail contributing to the greater message. Jake’s new book, ‘Old Soul, New Creation,’ is no different in that every detail of the book (cover and layout included) was carefully thought out and designed in a way to encapsulate what it means to co-create with God, encouraging readers to take up our creative mantle as the Imago Dei. Jake shares how he designed the front cover and the thought process behind it, including a fun surprise when you first open the book!

April 03, 2025 You Are Creative – Because God Is
Season 2 of Made to Last is celebrating the release of Jake’s new book, ‘Old Soul, New creation’! We’re kicking off our second season with an introduction to Jake’s book: what it’s about, the backstory of how it came to be, and who it’s for (psst! if you thought it was only for aspiring artists, think again)! ‘Old Soul, New Creation’ invites you to see yourself as creative – because God is. As Jake says in the episode, “You may not be artistic, but that is entirely beside the point. Everyone is creative as an image bearer, the Imago Dei.” And while OSNC follows Jake’s developing artistic career, the stories throughout take you on an unexpected spiritual journey and what it looks like to co-create with God. As Jake was given permission to tell his story in a raw and vulnerable fashion in the form of this book by his editor, Jake encourages listeners to “tell your story of how God has been faithful thus far.”

March 06, 2025 Small Beginnings: The Everyday Heirloom Story
When Jake and Hannah designed and created their wedding bands, they never thought they’d be designing jewelry for the world over. From the overflow of their work together in the realm of fine art, Jake and Hannah started another creative business in the form of their fine jewelry collection, Everyday Heirloom Co., in 2018. The business had an unsure start and Hannah outright rejected the idea when Jake first presented it to her. Now 7 years later, they can’t imagine life without it. The business brought Jake and Hannah closer than ever as the two of them learned to elevate and honor one another’s gifting. Through EH, the couple remind women of their inherent identity as God’s Beloved, creating tangible reminders of God’s faithfulness for their everyday life.
“Do not despise these small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” Zechariah 4:10
