The Story
WHERE IT STARTED
Every night at 8pm, my family sat together in the living room and prayed the rosary. It wasn't optional. My last Fortnite game had to start by 7:30 at the latest, since back then a match ran 20 to 25 minutes, which left just enough time to run upstairs and be there for prayer before the router got unplugged.
Sundays meant church. Since I was a kid, I served at the altar every week, close enough to see the candles lit, hear every word, and watch the Divine liturgy up close. Those mornings taught me that faith isn't something you watch from the back. You show up and you serve.
In my family, the rosary was never only prayed. It was worn. Around necks, wrapped around wrists, hanging from rear-view mirrors. Faith wasn't something you kept in a drawer. You carried it with you.
Veritas Et Vita grew out of those nights and those Sundays. Truth and Life, made to be worn the way my family wore their rosaries: every day, out loud.
OF THE SEA
My name is Joshua, the one who walked after Moses and led God's people across the river into the promise. I've heard that story my whole life, so Moses parting the Red Sea always felt close to home.
In this design the water forms a cross, pointing to Christ. Below, “Veritasetvita” is written in red for the sea, and in the distance Jesus and the twelve wait by the boat.
GOD IS FOR US
I wanted something that brought believers together, one simple truth everyone who believes Christ died for our sins could stand behind.
“If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). One line, worn by many, carried in every season.
MARKED BY THREE
This one came together around Easter. I spent months brainstorming and went through plenty of rough drafts before it finally clicked: three crosses on Calvary, and the one in the middle that changed everything.
It's a reminder of what Easter cost, and what it gave.
CRUSADERS & DISCIPLES
Two names, one calling. Disciples answer “Follow me” (Matthew 4:19). Crusaders stand firm as good soldiers of Christ (2 Timothy 2:3).
Made heavy and made to last, for the ones who follow and the ones who fight.
