Thank You, St. Louis — A Day of Faith, Family, and Fellowship

Thank you to my wife and family for going on this journey with me. We lean on eachother.

1. A Big Thank You to My Mom

   
   

   First and foremost, thank you to my mom for helping at our 3Fold Love Co tent in Francis Park in Saint Louis, Missouri. You were amazing all day long, talking to visitors, smiling through the heat, and bringing that steady calm that holds everything together. Watching you serve others with joy reminded me of why family is such a vital part of our mission.

2. Grateful for Everyone Who Stopped By

   
   

   Thank you to every patron who came by the tent. Your support, your purchases, your encouragement, and your prayers mean so much to our family. Every conversation mattered. Thank you also to all the attendees who came out to support Lutheran education. It was powerful to see a community so unified in purpose.

3. Thank You to LESA

   
   

   LESA, you put together an incredible event. Your dedication to education and faith shines through everything you do. Thank you for all your hard work and for giving families and small businesses like ours a place to share our gifts and meet others who share our love for Jesus. Learn more about what LESA does for our community at lesastl.org.

4. The 3Fold Love Co Experience

   
   

   We had a blast sharing our clothing and designs with everyone. At 3Fold Love Co, we make Christian apparel that blends street style, meaning, and comfort. It was inspiring to see how many people wanted to talk about the messages on our shirts and hoodies.

   
   

   But something surprised me. Even at a Christian event, a few people tried to talk us out of our faith in Jesus. I never expected that kind of adversity there, but it reminded me that faith often shines brightest when it is challenged. Through every conversation, I stayed thankful that our tent stood as a small beacon of hope and belief.

   
   

   What was really interesting was how our more secular items caught the most attention. The fleur de lis hoodie stopped people in their tracks, and the purple Everything Will Be Fine T-shirt sparked a lot of conversation. You can check out our fleur de lis design and others at 3FoldLoveCo.shop. Sometimes even simple messages can open doors to deeper talks about grace and peace.

5. Simple Designs, Strong Messages

   
   

   One of the biggest lessons we learned is that people love the simple designs best. Clean lines, simple words, and authentic meaning. The shirts in our Minimalist category got the most love and attention. You can see that collection here: Minimalist Collection.

6. A Thank You to the Vendors and Performers

   
   

   Huge thanks to all the vendors who made the event so much fun. There were excellent beers from local brewers, and Fallon’s Restaurant served up a phenomenal spread of Northern European food. Check them out at fallonsbarandgrill.com. And a shoutout to St. Louis’s own Funky Butt Brass Band for the incredible live music — they brought pure joy to the park. You can find them at funkybuttbrassband.com.

7. Resting After a Full Week of Ministry

   
   

   After a full week of ministry that included three events that were a little more beer heavy than usual, it feels good to take a Sabbath today. It is my twin kids’ birthday, and while I am writing this blog post, it feels peaceful. Writing and reflecting is my way of resting in the Lord.

   
   

   My day job in the HVAC industry is all hustle, deadlines, and profit margins. But 3Fold Love Co is different. This is where I get to pause, honor God, and build something meaningful with my family. We do this because we love Jesus, because we love people, and because we believe that faith belongs everywhere — even on a hoodie.

Thank you, Saint Louis. Thank you, LESA. Thank you, family. Thank you, Jesus.
