The Kingdom Artist Institute

Building freedom and harmony between faith, art, and career

About KAI

The Kingdom Artist Institute (KAI) helps creatives build healthy, mutual relationships between their faith and art careers. Through our podcast, books, courses, and community, artists learn to:

Walk in Wholeness
Bring all parts of who they are as Kingdom artists to their faith walk, creative expression, and career.

Move In Freedom
Stand unapologetically in the art life God is leading them to build – regardless of the kind of art they make, who they make it with, or where they make it.

Work in Harmony
Engage their faith, creativity, and career in a single experience where each part flourishes and achieves its fullest expression through working together.

BOOKS

The tenderness of truth in Marlita’s modules awakened a desire in me to reorient my thoughts, beliefs, and practices as an artist with a newfound trust in God.

Like so many others, I have carried a conflict between my art and my faith that I have never quite been able to understand or articulate. Marlita’s divine wisdom has allowed God to heal that divide and help me to understand that those essential parts of my identity were never meant to be severed in the first place.

I didn’t think I could have a positive relationship with a Christian God again until I joined the Kingdom Art Life Course. Marlita has created a curriculum that brings together individuals from different walks of life to create communication with a new vocabulary to explore a new view of God. This is the kind of conversation we all need to be having as a spiritual collective.

It busts myths, breaks new and exciting ground and is like a stream in the desert of spiritual support for the artist. It will change your mindset and activate a new belief in this kingdom art life relationship.

I am excited to continue my art walk with God with a renewed sense of knowing that he wants to be involved in all aspects of my walk, and in giving him the space to speak into my life and allowing space to listen.
