Do you ever wonder what it truly means to serve like Jesus did? In a culture focused on status and self-promotion, what if radical humility could stir revival and transform hearts?

On today’s episode of The Collide Podcast, we’re joined by the incredibly creative and faith-filled Shanna Noel! Shanna is the founder of Illustrated Faith, a movement and resource hub that invites women to engage with the Bible in a fresh, artistic way. What started as a personal form of worship through journaling and scrapbooking has grown into a beautiful community that glorifies God through creativity.

In our conversation, Shanna shares how a simple love for capturing life’s small, meaningful moments led her to paper scrapbooking—and eventually to the journaling Bible that would change everything. In 2014, she courageously posted her faith journaling online for the first time, not knowing that this vulnerable act would ignite a wildfire of creativity and connection among women seeking to meet God in a more personal way.

We talk about the journey of Illustrated Faith, the heart behind it, and what it looks like to translate the Bible into a “creative language.” Shanna opens up about the unexpected influence God has given her, the ways He’s used her gifts to impact others, and how she’s learned to move from relying on others for her faith to becoming someone who helps others build theirs. Her story is a reminder that God can do powerful things when we say yes to Him—even when we’re unsure or afraid.

Whether you’re a seasoned Bible journaler or just beginning to explore creative ways to connect with Scripture, this episode will inspire you to lean into the unique gifts God’s placed inside you. Shanna’s joy, authenticity, and creativity are contagious, and we’re so excited for you to hear her story.

In this powerful episode, Willow Weston, the Founder and Director of Collide, delivers an inspiring message straight from our Women of Impact online course. If you’ve ever longed to experience the extraordinary, to step into something bold and brave but feel stuck in the ordinary—this message is for you. So often, we sit in the safety of the boat, waiting for God to show up in big ways, hoping for miracles, breakthroughs, and wonder. But what if Jesus is already calling you to take the first step?

Rooted in Matthew 14:22-36, Willow reflects on Peter’s bold move to step out of the boat and walk on water toward Jesus. Through this story, she invites you to consider: What if the extraordinary you are longing for is just outside the place you’re in right now? What if it’s your turn to go ahead?

This episode will challenge and encourage you to take leaps of faith, trust Jesus with your steps, and believe that God empowers ordinary people—like you—to live extraordinary lives.

Key Takeaways:

• The extraordinary life God has for you is often just outside your comfort zone.
• Bold faith isn’t waiting for miracles—it’s stepping out when God says “Come.”
• Jesus meets us in the unknown, transforming our ordinary into something Divine.
• You don’t need to feel ready to move forward—you just need to be willing.

Ad Mention: Our Go Ahead Bible study empowers women to experience the extraordinary and Divine in their everyday lives.

Our Yes, You Bible study on self-worth encourages women to see beyond their inadequacies so they can be purposed to their fullest potential.

In this powerful episode, Willow Weston, the Founder and Director of Collide, delivers an inspiring message straight from our Women of Impact online course. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have what it takes to make an impact—this message is for you.

So many of us carry around an invisible list of what we lack: confidence, qualifications, resources, time. But what if God isn’t asking for perfection—just what you do have? Sit with Willow in John 6 as she unpacks the story of the loaves and fish, and be invited into your own story of impact. You’ll walk away encouraged, challenged, and reminded that God loves using the seemingly ordinary to do the extraordinary.

Key Takeaways:

• God uses unlikely people to do extraordinary things—your feelings of inadequacy don’t disqualify you.
• Your past doesn’t define your purpose. You already have something God wants to use right now.
• Small offerings can create big impact when placed in God’s hands.

Ad Mention: Our Yes, You Bible study on self-worth encourages women to see beyond their inadequacies so they can be purposed to their fullest potential.
