The Cross We Carry Podcast – 100 Crosses, 100 Stories…

I’m a single father with full custody of my daughter. Every day, I try to live my faith in a way she can see—not just hear about. I truly believe God is calling me to this work… to use the gifts He’s given me to reach people where they are, not where we expect them to be…

This ministry means everything to me because it’s about more than tattoos and stories—it’s about bringing the message of hope to people who might never walk into a church. I give all glory to God for opening this door and giving me the opportunity to go out and hand-pick some of these testimonies while also creating a space for others to reach out and share theirs…

That’s the vision behind The Cross We Carry Podcast…

Here’s how it works:

I’ll give 100 people a small cross tattoo for free—something permanent they can carry with them as a reminder of faith and hope. While they’re in the chair, we’ll talk about their life, their struggles, their redemption, and what faith means to them. These conversations will be filmed in real time and turned into podcast episodes—raw, unfiltered, and God-centered.

And this isn’t a one-time outreach—my hope is to continue doing this for 100 episodes every year, hand-picking testimonies and giving others the opportunity to step forward and share their story, so together we can reach as many people as possible with the truth of Christ.

Why this matters:

A tattoo can open the door to conversation. A testimony can open the door to faith. When we capture both in real time and share them, they can reach hearts that sermons or church services might never touch…

This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a ministry that uses art to open the door to faith. Every episode will capture the moment a cross takes shape on the skin while the story of God’s work in someone’s life unfolds in their words.

With your help, we can share 100 stories of hope, redemption, and transformation each year. Stories that may inspire someone to take their first step toward God… even if they’ve never set foot in a church.

I believe this is what God has called me to do, and I give Him all the glory for this opportunity. Now, I’m inviting you to be part of it.

One cross. One story. One mission. All for His glory.
