welcome.

This is more than a publication. Belonging House is a movement of artists and creative people.

The movement is also a message:

Raise up an army of artists who will build Jesus a throne in the earth.

Fear not God can be trusted.

Listen to the Lord, and do what he tells you.

For Twenty years our founder, Christ (rhymes with "wrist") John Otto has been writing, teaching, and helping artists and creative people become master copies of Jesus Christ, the Icon of the Father.

Our community is now reaching thirty-eight nations. The thread that holds it all together is the Friday email.

Access all areas

By signing up, you'll get access to the full archive of everything that's been published before and everything that's still to come. Your very own private library.

We do not use the email for marketing, and this publication is not subscription driven. We rely on God to provide and show you that if God can keep Belonging House running, God can help you embrace a full time creative career. We want mature disciples of Jesus Christ becoming servant leaders in every realm of the arts and culture. Our goal is make a way for the coming of Jesus, that the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ.

Fresh content, delivered

Stay up to date with new content sent straight to your inbox! No more worrying about whether you missed something because of a pesky algorithm or news feed.

We also create PHYSICAL resources: books, and a monthly email for those who pray for us or support our community. We are in the process of creating a physical newspaper, Breathe and Fire. These are all ways we tell the story of all that God is doing through Belonging House.

People like us do things like this.

Join a community of other readers, artists, and creative people who want to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. We are learning to listen to God together, we are pray together, and we share life together.
