Keep Growing
Resources from Raeanna’s talks
The conversation doesn’t have to end when the talk does.
If something you heard today stayed with you, if it made you think, stirred a question, or reminded you of someone you need to see a little more clearly, I hope you’ll keep going.
I’ve gathered some of the things I’ve created and some of the places that have become part of my own journey of faith, creativity, healing, and hope.
Take what is useful. Share it with someone who needs it. And most of all, keep walking.

🌻 Find Hope
The Happy Little Sunflower
Finding Hope in the Valley
I wrote The Happy Little Sunflower for the woman who’s been through the valley and needs to know she isn’t alone, and for the children who are growing up in the middle of difficult stories.
It’s a simple story about finding hope in a place that doesn’t look very hopeful.
Because sometimes a little light is enough to help us keep going.
Give a Book to Someone Who Needs It
Every purchase helps make it possible for me to place copies into the hands of women and children who need a little hope of their own.
The best way to make sure it reaches the people who need it most is to purchase copies and donate them to your local shelters and advocacy centers!
🌱 Wear the Hope
Hope Grows Here.
This isn’t just a shirt. It’s a reminder that hope can take root in unexpected places, and that sometimes we get to be the ones who carry it into someone else’s day.
Wear it as a little declaration: hope is still growing here.
And every shirt helps support the work of bringing hope to women and children through CVAN.
❤️ Show Up
Truth Girlz
Sometimes changing a life doesn’t look dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like showing up.
Truth Girlz walks alongside teenage girls through the difficult years between childhood and womanhood, helping them grow, love, and live well.
But programs need people.
Girls need women who will keep showing up long after the lesson is over, women who will listen, notice, encourage, and care enough to still be there next week.
If you’ve ever wondered whether simply being there could really make a difference, I hope you’ll consider finding out.

One Story, Woven
A Thematic Two-Year Bible Reading Journey
I originally created One Story, Woven for my own high schoolers.
I didn’t want Bible reading to become another box to check. I wanted them to remember Scripture. Understand it. Make connections. See how the stories, promises, people, patterns, and prophecies fit together.
Because Scripture isn’t a collection of disconnected stories.
It’s one story.
And at the center of it is Jesus.
This free two-year reading journey follows five days a week, leaving room for real life, because missing a Tuesday shouldn’t mean giving up on Wednesday.
Use it for your own time in Scripture, walk through it with your family, or use it as a resource while discipling someone else.

✨ Meet Jesus
Unveiling the Mystery: Meeting Jesus
If you’re still wondering who Jesus is, why He matters, or what Christianity is really about, I made this for you.
Unveiling the Mystery: Meeting Jesus is written like a letter to someone I love.
No pressure.
No performance.
Just an honest invitation to slow down, ask questions, and come meet Jesus for yourself.

🎙️ Keep Listening
At Forest Edge
Sometimes a painting can say something words can’t.
And sometimes words can reach places a painting can’t.
At Forest Edge is where I continue those conversations through stories, Scripture, faith, creativity, and the questions that live underneath the surface of everyday life.
If something from today’s conversation made you stop and think, you may find another piece of the conversation there.

Raeanna Tilly | Artist of Hope
I never set out to become an artist of hope.
I picked up a paintbrush because I needed somewhere for my thoughts to go.
Over time, I began to realize that the things I was painting, flowers, stories, beauty, grief, Scripture, light, were becoming another way of saying something I’ve learned over and over again:
There is still beauty here.
My paintings are created to carry faith, hope, creativity, and encouragement into the places where words sometimes aren’t enough.

Ekklesia Fellowship
Faith was never meant to be lived alone.
If you’re looking for a place to grow in faith, walk alongside other believers, and live out the gospel together, you’re welcome to learn more about our home church.
See. Show Up. Carry Hope.
You don’t have to build a platform.
You don’t have to be impressive.
You don’t have to have everything figured out.
You don’t even have to know exactly what you’re doing.
Look around.
Who has God already placed in your path?
Who needs to be seen?
What has He already placed in your hands?
Maybe it’s a paintbrush.
Maybe it’s a Bible.
Maybe it’s a listening ear.
Maybe it’s a cup of coffee and an hour of your time.
Maybe it’s simply the courage to stop in the hallway when someone asks a question that matters.
Whatever it is, open your hand.
You don’t have to light the whole world.
Just carry the flame you’ve been given.
And let it catch.
