Skater, longboarder, and ministry leader Vanessa Juliet has also remained open about her commitment to Christ and helped write the books.
Together, they created books designed to introduce skateboarders to the Gospel and encourage readers to learn more about Jesus.
Their goal is to provide biblical teaching for people within the skateboarding community and offer a resource for anyone interested in exploring the Christian faith.
One of the books, “Skate Gospel,” centers on conversations between two friends who grew up skating together.
Instead of presenting a traditional study, the book focuses on honest discussions about bringing Jesus back into skateparks and reaching skaters where they are.
Another release, *"Life of Jesus," introduces readers to the life and teachings of Christ, giving skateboarders another way to learn about Christianity through a format created with the skate community in mind.
Through outreach events and local skate sesh, the team hopes to encourage more people to learn about Jesus and grow in their faith.
Rather than speaking from a distance, they draw from their own time spent at skateparks and within skateboarding culture to encourage every to have faith, purpose, and a close relationship with God. Amen!
