Choose Faith | Faith Based Apparel, Retreats, and Community

Two Words,
One Decision

Choose Faith started in 2023, when James and a close friend were trading three words for the year ahead. His word was faith. Her word was choice. "Choose Faith" was born.

Choose Faith isn't a passive slogan or a mantra. It demands action. It is an active decision to believe in the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.

I believe the evidence of things unseen are the subtle whispers God puts on hearts. They serve as a guiding hand toward purpose and a road map for the direction of our lives. God places those whispers there as a call to action, not only to improve our own lives but to improve humanity.

So do it. Choose faith. Your friends and family are counting on you.

Marianne Williamson wrote, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

Choosing faith is choosing your light. Choose Faith. Choose your light.

James, Founder

Doubt Never Fully Leaves

"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 17:20

Every person in this community has a version of the same moment, the point where it would've been easier to quit than to keep showing up. For James, one of those moments was the bar exam. Failure, doubt, the quiet voice asking if he was cut out for it at all. All of it was real. So was the decision to sit back down, do the work again, and trust that the outcome wasn't the only thing that mattered.

Passing wasn't the lesson. Choosing to keep believing on the way there was. That's the same posture Choose Faith asks of everyone in this community: not blind optimism, not certainty, just the willingness to keep choosing faith on the days doubt is loudest.

What This Community Holds

This isn't a brand built around having it figured out. It's a place for people in the middle of their own version of that exam. Still studying, still doubting, still showing up anyway. Wherever you are in that process, you belong here.

The Bar

We pray against the spirits of doubt, chaos, confusion.
We pray for peace, clarity, understanding, and wisdom.
We pray for the strength of our ancestors, who paved the way for us.
We pray that when we're overwhelmed we come to seek comfort in your presence, dear God.
We pray for humility and sobriety in our lives.
We pray that our actions reflect good intentions, and we pray our good intentions are met with understanding and love.
We pray for the spirit of discipline & focus in our careers.
We pray to be responsible stewards of our resources.
We pray to hold our own emotional space. We pray we learn to hold, control, and release our emotions in healthy ways that honor our purpose, and the name, image, and likeness you've created for us.
We pray for the health, safety, and welfare of our friends and families.

We pray that we don't get in our own way! We trust ourselves, our intuition (our process, our timeline) because we know that you are the author of all of the above.

Good, better, best, never let it rest, until our good gets better & our better gets best.
Be strong, for we have no time to pay dream or draft. Our work is to do heavy loads, to lift, shun NOT the struggle for its God's gift. Be strong, be strong, be strong.
We are Warriors of Light, as we walk through darkness, God your word is the lamp to our feet and light to our path. We shall not forsake our future, nor shall we dwell in the past. We shall be ever present, choosing, choice not control, believing in the substance of things hoped for, and evidence of things unseen.

God, as we let go of who we imagined ourselves to be, allow us to be more who you want us to be.

We can build a castle with wisdom and consolidation. Our emotions will cloud our ability to see our peace; sometimes we will have to be still to find peace and sound judgement. We will continue to trust our instincts and intuition. And we know that things grow when there is good communication.

Lastly, God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
