Use the Tools Club

Stay curious. Ask better questions. Stay in charge of the buttons.

The Use the Tools Club is a CJSP Creative project for kids and adults who want to use modern tools without handing over their imagination.

We are not afraid of tools.

We are afraid of people forgetting they have agency.

A tool can help you write, draw, sing, build, research, organize, learn, imagine, and solve problems. But the person still matters. The question still matters. The judgment still matters. The soul still matters.

Use the tool. Do not become the tool.

First Club Mission

Ask one question you have been avoiding.

Make one thing before you judge it.

Use a tool to help, but do not let it decide for you.

Check the answer.

Take a walk.

Come back and make the next thing better.

What is the Use the Tools Club?

The Use the Tools Club is built around one simple idea:

Tools are here to help you make things, not make you disappear.

That means learning how to ask better questions, check the work, stay curious, notice what feels true, and turn your alone time into something alive.

For kids, that might mean drawing, writing, making a song, asking why the moon looks different, or helping Prudence solve a mystery.

For adults, it might mean using AI, notebooks, music tools, websites, calendars, research, prayer, and honest questions to build a fuller creative life.

The goal is not to become more machine-like.

The goal is to come back human.

For Kids

The kids’ side of the Use the Tools Club is about curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

Kids are allowed to ask big questions.
Kids are allowed to make strange things.
Kids are allowed to try tools, make mistakes, check the answer, and try again.

With Prudence and Mr. Turtle as guides, the club will offer creative prompts, coloring pages, story starters, activity sheets, music ideas, and little missions for kids who want to notice more, wonder more, and make more.

For Adults

The adult side of the Use the Tools Club is about staying awake at the controls.

Modern tools can flatten people when they are used passively. But used with attention, they can help a person think, organize, create, pray, write, build, learn, and return to others with fuller hands.

This is where CJSP explores AI, creativity, faith, solitude, digital work, and the practical art of using the tools without losing the person.
