At the heart of it all,

We are a family of Jesus people compelled by the Lord to "pick up the plow" as creators and fully utilize the gifts He's given us for His Kingdom.

After a year off (at the unmistakable nudging of the Holy Spirit), we are back again! And praise God, we've been distilled with even more vision for the work our amazing Creator God has called us to. Since our beginning in 2022, we have been creating original content in theater, music, film, and publishing.

We are thrilled to announce The Passion Prophecies will be returning to the Germantown Performing Arts Center April 2-4, 2027 for three live performances.

For the last three years, The Passion Prophecies has been performed before thousands in south-eastern Wisconsin. The overwhelming response from the community has been one of gratitude and deepened faith. It is truly an experience unlike any other to encounter the love of God through live music, drama, and professional dance.

This is disciple-making 1:1, with months of rehearsals incorporating worship, Bible study, prayer, and spiritual development with our cast of over 70 people.

Music is a huge part of our calling and ministry to God.

To make music that glorifies our Father and anchors our hearts to His Holy Scriptures. We will be in the studio later this year recording a full length album of original songs with Aaron Wenninger and the Bella Folk Collective band. Your support will make this possible!

QUESTION:

HOW CAN THE PASSION PROPHECIES REACH THE NATIONS WITH THE GOSPEL?

God's answer: A MOVIE.

So, we will be FILMING The Passion Prophecies 2027 as a movie for maximum global impact. We have brought on JP Livingston of Skipping Stones Studio to direct this exciting undertaking. (https://www.skippingstonesstudio.com/)

Filming will take place during the live performances, and for two additional days in the theater.

And finally, our publishing mission.

It has been a great blessing to hear how our book, Rest Day is the Best Day, is impacting families. It can be found online everywhere books are sold. We have MORE books in our publishing pipeline we are excited to share with you!

WITH ALL THESE THINGS ON DECK,

We are looking for monthly partners who see the Kingdom value of these Holy assignments, and desire to partner with us to finance them -- for the glory and fame of HIS NAME on the earth.
