From Gospel Single to Creative Ministry: How “Good News” The Coloring Book Is Helping Believers Rediscover Childlike Faith
Whether used individually for personal devotion or collectively in family or ministry settings, the coloring book delivers a clear message: the Good News is still transforming lives — one colored page and open heart at a time.
In March 2026, gospel artist PTtheGospelSpitter (Ashante PT Stokes) released his single “Good News,” a track born out of personal trials, including a season of incarceration where his faith in YHWH deepened significantly. Now, that same song has inspired something unique: “Good News” The Coloring Book.
Every illustration in the book draws direct inspiration from the single’s cover art. Each page features a carefully chosen scripture reference connected to the “Good News” message. The overarching purpose is both simple and profound — to encourage people of all ages to convert and become like little children so they may see the Kingdom of Heaven, just as Jesus taught in the Gospels.
This project stands out in today’s crowded Christian creative space because it combines art, music, and scripture in an interactive format. Rather than passive consumption, it invites active participation. Coloring while meditating on scripture creates a multisensory experience that many believers are finding refreshing.
Stokes, known for blending rhythm and gospel with bold, honest lyrics, has always brought energy and authenticity to his music. The coloring book extends that ministry beyond listening into doing. It makes deep biblical truths tactile and approachable, particularly for visual learners, families, and those who struggle with traditional quiet times.
The childlike faith theme draws straight from Matthew 18:3 — “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” In a fast-paced, often jaded world, this call to simplicity, trust, and wonder feels countercultural. The coloring book serves as a gentle, creative tool to cultivate exactly that posture.
Early users report that the activity helps reduce anxiety while fostering reflection. Parents are using it with children, turning coloring sessions into meaningful conversations about faith. Youth groups and small groups have incorporated pages into study times, pairing the illustrations with discussion of the attached scriptures.
What makes the project especially powerful is its origin story. Written during a difficult chapter, the song “Good News” carries genuine weight. Stokes transformed personal hardship into a declaration of hope — and now into a resource that helps others do the same.
In many ways, “Good News” The Coloring Book represents a modern expression of creative worship. It bridges the gap between contemporary gospel music and hands-on spiritual formation. By making scripture visual and interactive, it lowers barriers for people who might otherwise feel intimidated by deeper study.
As churches and families look for fresh ways to engage the next generation and re-engage adults, projects like this offer promise. They honor the creativity of the Creator while pointing people back to the heart of the Gospel.
Whether used individually for personal devotion or collectively in family or ministry settings, the coloring book delivers a clear message: the Good News is still transforming lives — one colored page and open heart at a time.
