Detroit, MI - “But that is not how you came to know Christ, assuming you heard about him and were taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus, to take off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires, to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.” [Ephesians 4:20-24]

Join the adventure with Dex, Chris, and Bowie as they dive into the world of comic books and young adult novels, with a soundtrack that glorifies the Lord.
