What is the confessions Collection?
Since the release of Confessions in late November 2017, the album has manifested itself into other artistic expressions, which aim to herald the same process we all experience while diving into the practice of confession. We’re calling this The Confessions Collection. This project has taken on three forms:
Confessions: The Devotional — A Collection of Writings, Artwork, and Prayers
Confessions Conversations: A Study & Reflection Journal (Leader Guide also available)
Confessions: The Documentary
This project is made up of many influencers, including various authors, poets, artists, and more. We would love to introduce you to them and to connect you to their resources.
Give to the confessions Collection today!
We believe in the power of community! We’re offering the opportunity for you to partner with us as we produce, create, collaborate, and distribute these resources for the Church at large. Your contribution means the world to us.
Confessions: The Devotional
A Collection of Writings, Artwork, and Prayers
This devotional is laid out to take the reader on a contemplative journey that feels more like a process than an arrival. Mirroring the progression of the Confessions album, each chapter contains a written excerpt, a poem, a prayer, and a piece of visual artwork all aiming to point the reader towards themes that come up during the practice of confession. Contributors include Chad Bird, Jessica Thompson, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Joel Fitzpatrick, Jeremiah Bonds, Levi the Poet, Sarah Condon, and many more.
Featured Authors & Poets: Haley Montgomery, Justin McRoberts, Chad Bird, Amanda Cave, Levi The Poet, Jessica Thompson, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Jared Smith, and many more

Confessions Conversations: A Study & Reflection Journal
One of the key aspects of confession is experiencing it with community. Wendy Hinman and I have developed a study and reflection journal (and Leader Guide) for any small group setting. This study was crafted to work in tandem with the ten-episodes of Confessions: The Documentary.

Confessions: The Documentary
Storytelling is an effective way to articulate not only our testimony but also to find common ground with others. Understanding grace more demands us to dive into the honest mess with God, ourselves, and others. This ten-episode docuseries follows five stories that are marked by confession of sin and an ultimate profession of faith in Christ. Confessions: The Documentary was curated to work in tandem with Confessions Conversations: A Study & Reflection Journal.

I am honored to offer these resources beyond the album to the individual who is seeking hope in darkness and freedom in the light. These resources are also for the local church as we continue to learn to do life together and to talk about hard things better. We hope all of this will bless and enrich your walk with Christ and your journey in living more honestly with yourself, God, and others!
