I finally drew a cartoon again. Many of you are probably familiar with the TV series about the life of Jesus and his followers, The Chosen. Especially in the U.S., there are quite a few fans who regularly post memes related to the series on their own Facebook page. One of the best-known and best of them is Alan Schneider. He’s been trying in vain for a long time to get Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus, to follow him on Instagram. This topic alone is the subject of many memes.
The animated series The Chosen Adventures has been around for a while now, but unfortunately it’s not yet available in German here in Germany. Fortunately, a few episodes have been posted on ►YouTube so far. The Jesus in my cartoon is inspired by Jonathan Roumie’s cartoon version.
In addition to the daily watchwords, Bible verses for each year are selected well in advance. The annual watchword for 2026 is: “Behold, I am making all things new!”
I've created a few different versions. Which one do you like best?
I had the featured image printed as a card. There are only a few copies left. If you're interested, please feel free to contact me.
I designed the thank-you letter and newsletter for the Munich House of Prayer and went through the photo archive to find suitable photos. While doing so, I came across some beautiful photos of people in prayer and worship.
These have inspired me to create a new series. Here are the first three pieces.
There are also some great time-lapse videos of me painting with watercolors, which I don’t want to keep from you.
I’ve already shown you my Spreadshop. I’m always adding new designs there. Please feel free to let me know which of my pictures you’d like to see there—whether with or without text.

Here, I’d like to share with you the valuable feedback I received on this drawing:
“I don’t even know what to say about this picture. It really captures the situation I’m in right now. It completely overwhelmed me.”
Right now, I’m in a situation where I feel exactly as that pit depicts. And sometimes I haven’t seen that light at all. I’ve also been afraid time and again to make decisions, worried that they might be wrong.
This vision is such a powerful source of encouragement for me and for my journey. The accompanying Bible verses have also encouraged me greatly. And I believe once again that Jesus will show me the way through His Word. Thank you so much, dear Johannes, for this wonderful prophetic drawing.
I’m thrilled to introduce a new service to you. This is designed for people who can’t afford or don’t want to commission a standard piece of artwork from me.
I put a lot of time into these paintings; sometimes I pray for the recipients for weeks on end and then really refine the paintings. With my new project, I want to create the paintings more spontaneously—perhaps capturing only what comes to me during a time of worship—and not overwork the artwork as much.
Of course, you’ll still receive a beautiful painting and a specific message from God. So far, I’ve had the privilege of selling it five times, and the buyers were deeply moved.
On the first Sunday of Advent in 2025, the Generation Center—an organization affiliated with my church—held its annual Advent market once again. I was delighted to have the opportunity to showcase my art there. Even though I didn’t sell much, I had the chance to explain my work, have several meaningful conversations, and simply make myself known.
In November, I had a few opportunities to showcase my art to the public. Some friends from Creatio, the Christian artists’ network I belong to, took part in an exhibition at an artists’ studio. Another friend has her studio there. I had the chance to display some of my work there as well. I was happy that I was able to have some good conversations and even sell a few pieces. That’s pretty good considering I wasn’t really involved and was basically just allowed to tag along.
On October 25, 2025, we held the third special evening of “Gebetshaus Kreativ,” and this time I was in charge. The theme was “Healing Through Art .” What a wonderful evening it was. There were about 14, including 3 men. 90% of the visitors were at the Munich House of Prayer for the first time; many different nations were represented, including Hungary, Brazil, and Cuba… One woman was from Kiel and is currently doing a training program at the Augsburg Prayer House.
To start, I shared a few healing testimonies about my art, and then I placed some pictures around the room along with their accompanying stories and a QR code so people could read the full story (the latest posts here on the blog tell some of these stories). I had selected and printed out a few Bible verses about healing.
I guided the attendees on how they could get creative. We started with a wonderful live worship session (Silke and Susanne—the other two leaders of this format—were supported by Bernhard from the YMCA, who went along with it wonderfully). Then I played a (praised) worship playlist while people got creative.
It was wonderful to see people gradually taking their seats at the tables and getting wonderfully creative. Some drew inspiration from the Bible verses; one woman painted a picture for her father, who had grown up without a father. She wrote him a letter reminding him that he did have a Father in God and inviting him to accept Jesus. I thought it was lovely that even those who were hesitant at first got creative.
Some also had pictures for others in the room. One woman made me a card with a thank-you message. She had been struggling with the idea of whether God could truly heal through art. My testimonies were a word of encouragement for her.
The discussion at the end was so moving. Just seeing the different ways creativity came to life—it was as if God had spoken directly to us. It was already sooo late, but we just couldn’t stop our enthusiastic debrief… Amazing!

I’ve been drawing since I was a little kid. At first, it was mostly cartoon series like Wickie, Sinbad, or Captain Future. We also drew biblical stories in religion class. You can already see the influence of Asterix and my sense of humor in those drawings.
