Cultivate
our devotional series
Cultivate is a series of books designed to help you tend the rich soil of your heart. It is an invitation to discover the beautiful process of growth that happens when we partner with the Father. These books are full of honest prompts, writings, photography, and poetry from our community’s process with the Lord. Our dream is that each volume would serve as a tool to help you cultivate your relationship with the Father and empower you to enjoy the process. Your heart is worth the work.
Cultivate is an invitation. These devotional books call to rhythms of devotion, creativity, and transformation. They prompt you to initiate personal time with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and live an empowered and sustainable life connected to your heart. We encourage you to slow down and savor each part of the journey.
CONTRIBUTORS: CAGELESS BIRDS COLLECTIVE
Cultivate is a collaborative project featuring writings, prompts, design, poetry, and art from the entire Cageless Birds collective and friends of our community. These writings are testimonies from our personal journeys that prompt you to pursue the Father through new and exciting ways.
Volumes
Volume I: The Head to Heart Journey (Revised & Expanded)
Welcome the REVISED & EXPANDED Cultivate Volume I: The Head to Heart Journey! This 120 page devotional book includes 17 new articles, poems, and writings and new art, design, and photography on nearly every page!
In 2013, we released this first volume of Cultivate. Almost a decade later, we have decided to expand and revise Volume I because we have grown and learned so many things over the years as a community of friends committed to Jesus, discipleship, and creativity. In The Head to Heart Journey, we give keys to journaling the voice of the Lord, settling into true identity, and exploring the terrain of your heart with God.
As you make your way through these pages, we encourage you to center your heart in this simple truth: God is a loving Father, ready and eager to speak to you.
Volume II: The Clarity Winter Brings
Volume II is designed to help us find the beauty in winter seasons of life. We created this issue to champion the significance of our roots growing deep into His heart , and our branches resting from producing fruit. This book includes writings on topics such as hope, perspective and stillness and is designed to help you carve out moments to hear His voice in the middle of your process.
Volume III: Fly High, Build Home
Volume III is created with the vision of bringing clarity to what it means to live a whole life. Our vision for this issue is that it would help bring language to what it means to thrive—to soar and to land in His heart for you.
Volume IV: Creativity Unlocked
Volume IV is meant to challenge your idea of what creativity is and unlock the truth that creativity is a mindset, not a skill set. If every child of God is made in His image, then creativity is not a talent for the select-few, it is a birthright. Our desire is that Cultivate Volume IV would empower you to take risks in expression and discover your creative ability. There are beautiful discoveries to be made when you dare to believe that He desires to speak through your creativity and meet you in the process.

Volume V : The Art of Connection, Pt. I was written with your most significant relationships in mind.

May “The Art of Connection” fill you with courage, hope and healthy perspective for God-centered relationships with those who mean the most to you.

Volume VI : The Art of Connection, Pt. II is the latest volume from the Cultivate devotional book series and the anticipated follow up to Volume V.
