I uploaded this on my channel earlier this year, but I decided to re-upload it in memory of a friend that suddenly and shockingly passed away. I reflected and prayed on the tragedy and the aftermath and decided to write this to reach others and let them know that if there’s anyone out there that has these dark struggles- that there’s hope. True hope that doesn’t fade or let you down. You’re not alone. Jesus didn’t come to Earth to not know how it feels to be human. God became His creation. He’s not a god that is far away, far from suffering and human pain. He entered into this mess, and He’s in your mess. No matter what you’ve done He loves and will forgive you. It’s not an empty victory, filled with endless desolate affirmations and a god that doesn’t know how to handle our mountain of sin or doesn't care about your pain. This is what true victory looks like. In many ways I wanted this to demonstrate the Old and New Covenants. God became His own creation to pay the just penalty for sin that we could never pay. He took our place, the righteous for the unrighteous. *This* is the atonement. I mean... wow. "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."- 2 Corinthians 5:21. I filmed this with three different cameras, over six hours of footage. The editing itself was a total rollercoaster, wild and unpredictable. To me, the video is just as much art as the painting itself. I hope you all enjoy it. I worked very hard on it.

Sometimes we (sadly) poke the bear to be mean. Sometimes we poke it to provoke. Other times the bear did a no-no and needs to be held accountable. So in this video, I'm daring to address the madness of all the false predictions about the 2020 election. I try to pick and choose my battles, and when I choose to ‘battle’, it needs to be in with the right intention. Paul reflects this in scripture that we need to be at peace with people as much as we can, except when it comes to the gospel and identity of Jesus. That’s worth fighting for. I’m not here to do what’s popular, I want to do what’s right. All this was done in the name of Jesus, and that’s really the heart of me speaking about this. This shames Jesus’ name. That’s worth speaking up about. That being said, I think this definitely needs to be firmly addressed.
