Teaching with Dirt

It can be hard to connect with those who are different from us. Where do we start? What do we talk about? How can we work together? 


It may sound simple but as we grow closer to God he will show us how to love and connect with each other. 


Soon we discover that we need what each one has on the inside to REALLY grow! 

Teaching Tools

Made Book

This book teaches us that every person on earth was made with something beautiful to share. 'Made' is the simple version of a teaching tool called 'Dirt to Use'. Like the teaching, you can read this message, take it in through the vibrant pictures or participate in a real-life experience of growing closer to God and others. *Available on Amazon!

Made Recordings

We love sharing this message personally so we've started recording versions of us reading the book as we build jars together. We will also offer videos of the full ‘Dirt to Use’ teaching. Spoiler alert, in time we hope to post videos of others sharing this message around the world! Videos and clips will be live on YouTube, Tic Tok, etc. beginning November 2022. 

'Dirt to Use' POWERPOINT

The 'Dirt to Use' message is about growing closer to God and to each other. It's shared through a transformational process of getting our hands dirty: Dirt -> Form -> Set -> Color -> Use. 

We use a ball of clay, aka 'dirt' to represent each person on earth. During the message we transform this ball of clay into a jar as we practice sharing, listening, accepting, exploring, and growing together. 


This free message can be used to teach God's love and vision for us as his family in a variety of settings. We are also working on a 'Dirt to Use' Study coming soon!

Jar Kits

Some of us learn best by physically doing something. And some of us, myself included simply love getting our hands dirty! These kits can be used in a classroom, in a small group, or at home with family and friends.


As we build together we explore our hearts and our hurts. Each page will guide us through a process where we celebrate our differences, transform and realize how much we need each other to grow! 


Kits can be used with the Made book as well as the 'Dirt to Use' teaching. 


We can't wait to see how you will use your jar!

How to build a jar - the made way!

Building Jars Together

We are not pottery professionals but we do love getting our hands dirty WITH others!


As we make these jars we follow a simple jar-making process captured in the 'Dirt to Use' teaching and made book. Every page and step in the process allows us to learn about each other and grow together. We also end up with a one-of-a-kind vessel to use for something beautiful. 


One way we hope to use these jars in the future would be to offer them as an earthy packaging product. Though the packaging options are endless we have a special place in our hearts for oils and natural beauty products such as coconut oil. Can't you imagine this beautifully made jar on your bathroom/kitchen counter?! When we get to this point our jars will become part of our business support efforts which invest in loving, teaching, and employing others. 


For more information on using the made book and Dirt to Use teaching in your classroom, church, friend groups, or workplace, email Kim! info.restoresb@gmail.com 


We would love to know how you use your jars!

...Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand...


Jeremiah 18:6 (NIV)
