In, 'A Holy Resilience', we share the story behind Jake’s pen-and-ink artwork “Resilience” and how it inspired the Resilience necklace, including the meaningful collaboration with Rebekah Lyons’ for her book, Building a Resilient Life. We talk about the shared themes that connect Jake’s artistic interpretation and Everyday Heirloom’s wearable symbolism. We also answer frequently asked questions: What’s one piece of marriage advice we’d give to couples who work together? Are we full-time artists or is this a side-gig?

In Ep 2, ‘The Symbolism of Wings’, we dive into the heart behind the “Seraphim” necklace and how this piece sparked an entire creative movement for Everyday Heirloom. We explore the rich symbolism of wings throughout Scripture and share the inspiration that eventually led to Jake’s Flourished Bird Collection. We also answer a listener favorite: How do you stay creative at an elite level when your job depends on it?

In this episode, “Sing a New Song,” we explore the heart behind our necklace design, the Hallelujah Harp, and the story that shaped the arrangement of Jake’s painting, “Be Thou My Vision.” We share the creative process, the vision driving these works, and the ways beauty shows up in our everyday rhythms of running a business and raising our sweet kiddos. You’ll also hear answers to one of our most-asked questions: What does daily life actually look like for us—and do we have help?

Jake encourages listeners to “learn to love what must be done” and turn even the most mundane routines of life into prayer. Season 2 of the podcast concludes with Jake reading his final prayer, “The Maker’s Prayer” from his book.

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.

‘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.

Jake shares how he designed the front cover and the thought process behind it, including a fun surprise when you first open the book!

Jake and Hannah talk in-depth about the meaning of the title of Jake’s new book: defining what it means to be an “old soul” and a “new creation in Christ.”

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.”

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.

What does it look like to build a marriage AND build a business alongside one another? Jake and Hannah truly love working together -- but it wasn't always that way. Being married to your co-worker is rarely glamorous and requires copious amounts of intentionality, clear communication and sacrifice to make it work.

In this conversation, Hannah interviews Jake, asking him his most FAQs when it comes to his unusual career: How did you become a Master Penman? What does this actually mean? How do you make a career out of doing calligraphy? – and more!

Hannah and Jake open up about the details of the initial stages of their relationship that would become the ingredients for their decade-long marriage-and-career combined.
