Faith That Meets Us Where We Are

Modern Burlap began, as many things do, with something small.

I was a new mother, and Scripture was already deeply present in our home and in the way we lived our days. I wanted the tangible things around us to reflect that truth too, woven into feeding schedules, bedtime routines, laundry, exhaustion, and the ordinary work of loving a family.

So I made something I wished existed. Then I made another. What began as a small creative project slowly became Modern Burlap.

At the time, I did not know what the business would become. I wanted to work faithfully, make good things, and entrust the results to God.

Scripture gives many pictures of people serving God in ordinary settings as well as extraordinary ones. Again and again, God meets His people in real life and calls them to trust, worship, love, repent, serve, and obey.

Looking back, the desire beneath Modern Burlap was simple: I wanted the things we made to reflect truths our family already loved and believed.

That still matters to me.

Today Modern Burlap can make products, printables, prayers, stories, and devotionals. Whatever the form, I want it to be true, rooted in Scripture, and pointed toward Christ.

That is part of why this journal exists.

God’s Word has something to say in the ordinary places of our lives. My hope is that this space helps us return to it with open hearts and live what we read.
