Jackson Murphy makes things because something in him has to.

Songs, books, drawings — all of it began as something private, made for God and himself.

For the person honest enough to admit they’re still in the middle of it.

About the Work

Jackson’s songs, books, and drawings began as something he made for himself.

A feeling he needed to get out. A question he couldn’t stop asking. A resource he needed but couldn’t find. A way of staying honest and present in seasons that nearly broke him.

He believes the ideas are given to him. That making something is how you honor that. That creativity and faith aren’t separate things. One flows from the other.

The work was never created to instruct or fix. It emerged quietly, as a way of paying attention.

Where It Began

Jackson’s story began when he reached the end of himself. After losing his marriage, he chose sobriety. What followed wasn’t a clean recovery. It was a reckoning with everything he couldn’t control, fix, or outrun.

He wasn’t looking for an audience. He was looking for God.

Out of that season came the writing, the songs, the drawings. What he found there changed him in ways he’s still discovering.

The Work Today

Some of this work sat in a box for years before it found anyone. He believes that’s part of how it works — nothing is wasted, and the right person finds the right thing when they need it.

What lives here is what felt ready to be offered.
