My Story

My name is Alex. I grew up in the Episcopal Church. I was baptized and confirmed. But, sometime in my teenage years, I thought I was smarter than all of it and decided that religion was useless. I went to a school where church attendance was mandatory. My roommate and girlfriend were Catholic. I would go with them to Mass to get it over with. I didn't think any of it applied to me. I thought it was just stories. Sure, be nice to people but I didn't want all the other stuff. I needed it but it would be a while before I realized that.

I moved into my college years and struggled. I spent quite a few years lost in the wilderness of excess. It was hard for me to see it but I'm sure it was obvious to everyone else. I tried a lot of solutions but none of them worked for very long. Along the way, there were quite a few special people who treated me as a son of God even though I didn't always return their love. I was a searcher looking in every place but the one I'd known all along had the answer.

A couple of years ago, I was walking across my kitchen. Just another Thursday. I put the peanut butter into the cabinet and someone reached down and tapped me on the shoulder saying, "Look around. How do you think we got here?" And like a movie flying past my eyes, I saw all the times that I was guided, protected, cared for, and brought back from the brink. Often by people who themselves aren't followers of Christ. I thought of my wife and son and the multitude of blessings. It all simply made sense. My life, my true life, exists after I pass from this Earth.

I now understand that our lives on Earth are not our own. We live to glorify God through his son Jesus Christ. I've come to believe this in a way that feels outside of myself. It's a truth deeper than my own name. My goal with Deathless is to shine a bit of His light onto the face of others. I pray for an eternity in Heaven with Jesus and that I can bring with me anyone willing to share His love. I have been blessed in so many ways. I now know that I am Deathless as long as I keep Him in front of me all of the day.

This Deathless clothing is a simple way to make a statement and start a conversation.
