The Footwashing Series
On the eve of Valentine's Day, 2022, I sat down and asked God what it looked like to be His beloved. I drew an image of Jesus kneeling and washing the feet of His Bride.
Days later, as I burnt my dinner at the stove, I saw the same image, but hundreds of different people sitting on the stool having their feet washed by Jesus. "Lord, is that you? And if it is...are you sure?" I asked, knowing how controversial it would be.
Convinced it was Jesus, I started drawing. The images went viral, and the Footwashing Series was born.
It captured the attention of millions of people as everyone waited to see themselves in the image, having their feet washed by Jesus. The exhausted mother, the young woman battling anxiety, the teenager too distracted by their phone to even notice Jesus washing their feet.
The footwashing seat is open for everyone.
Footwashing, Today
If you like the Footwashing Series, this book is for you.
40 chapters, 224 pages, 100+ illustrations of Salt & Gold words and artwork.
Sit down on the seat and let Jesus wash your feet, then drop the stones, pick up a towel and learn how to wash the feet of your friends...and enemies.
All around us are disappointed, disillusioned, and wounded people, covered with the grime of ambition, jealousy, self-protection, church hurt, broken relationships, and world-weary hearts.
Here's how to wash feet in this generation.
