I Know Because I've Lived It.

How a conversation about my tattoos became the heartbeat behind the T-Shirt Drop.

The Question That Sparked It All

Can a T-shirt really start a conversation about God?

It might sound simple, maybe even far-fetched to some. But if you’ve lived with a message inside of you, if you’ve walked through life marked by His love, you already know the answer.

Yes. A T-shirt can speak before you ever say a word. A shirt can spark curiosity. And sometimes, a shirt can open someone’s heart to God.

I Know Because I’ve Lived It.

A lot of my tattoos point back to the love of God.

They’re not just art, they’re invitations.

They represent stories—real ones. Testimonies etched in ink. Grace, healing, purpose, identity. Mercy that met me in the mess. Love that didn’t let go.

And every time someone stops me and asks,

“What does that mean?” “Is that scripture?”

I'm reminded of how God uses even the smallest things to open doors.

I’ve had conversations about faith in grocery stores, airports, gas stations… not because I had a mic in hand, but because someone saw something on my skin that made them curious.

That same energy—that same bold, everyday declaration—is exactly what birthed the T-Shirt Drop.

Not only a Message to But a Movement

This drop isn’t about selling clothing. It’s about living the message and inviting others to do the same.

We’ve been building something intimate, intentional, and Spirit-led:

• 1:1, Open Here, Find Him Waiting – an e-book and coffee table-style book to sit with God, personally.

• 1:1 @ The Table – a weekly Bible study space for discipled creatives and hungry hearts.

• The Table LA – a curated dinner where faith, creativity, and real-life conversation meet.

And now, it continues with what we wear.

Evangelism Looks Different Sometimes

Maybe it's not a pulpit. Maybe it’s not a verse on your Instagram bio. 

Maybe it’s just the shirt you throw on as you head out the door.

That’s what I’ve seen. That’s what I’ve lived.

You never know whose heart is waiting to be nudged by something they can see.

This is about building space—online, in print, at the table, and now on your back—for God to show up.

Because when you carry His love, you don’t need a mic. You just need to show up with your whole self—and let Him do the rest.

With bold love,
