# About me

STAND STRONG began with a personal conviction to understand the essence of the ancient warrior in modern-day culture. To STAND STRONG spiritually, an artistic standpoint was adopted, inspired by history, mixed media, graphic design, illustration, graffiti, typography, and street art. STAND STRONG confronts the spiritual and political issues of the day with the goal of looking through a conservative lens and wrestling to discover moral balance. We seek true wisdom and honorable character. Finding life answers is a noble quest in a depraved culture when compromise takes precedence over spiritual backbone. Self-sacrifice is unpopular today. The true value of discipline is to give oneself to it. The characteristics of a true warrior are birthed out of Ephesians 6:10-18, and this is the foundation from which STAND STRONG draws its inspiration. The opposition we face in life is not from this world, so neither should our combat weapons be from this world.

History shows many courageous men and women of old standing against great worldwide injustices. Hundreds of years later, people are still facing injustices and oppression, and we are considered countercultural if we combat these problems. We're told that every area of our lives---ethics, morals, faith, even food---are archaic. STAND STRONG makes a real return to masculinity and femininity and challenges the norm, leading a culture that swims upstream. The time is now to speak and fight actively for our freedoms. Our strength to stand is found in the process of struggle and the ultimate victory is ensured by perseverance through trials. STAND STRONG confronts spiritual, mental, emotional, and social well-being. We cannot back down and sit idly by while evil runs wild. Our faith determines the direction of our beliefs. As Gordon A. Eddie said, "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."
