Thank you for checking out Lighten Up Gear. Seriously. We appreciate it. You rock.
What We Do
We make parody Christian shirts. Simple as that. They are meant to make you laugh. Make you pause and think. Challenge you. Convict you. Maybe offend you. Start conversations with random people. And keep you clothed because you’d look silly shirtless (your mom sent us photos).
We’ll be launching our online store shortly so hold tight. We appreciate your patience while we work out some glitches.
What Makes Us Different
Our shirts are designed to be conversation starters–kind of like coffee table books. No one really reads coffee table books cover to cover, but they create conversations when you have guests over. Our shirts are designed to do just that. Start a conversation. Give you an opportunity to share your life and your faith with someone. Each shirt comes with a story to help you feel equipped to share your story. And most shirts have scripture references from the Bible.
We appreciate you supporting Lighten Up Gear and we want to support others. So we earmark 10% of our profits to go to charitable organizations. The cool thing is you get to help us decide where the money goes through our monthly polls. Vote for your favorite charity each month and the winning charity will receive a check from Lighten Up Gear. So not only do you get a swell shirt when you buy from Lighten Up Gear, you also help the world. You could provide food and an education for a child in Uganda. You could help a refugee family get their feet under them here in the United States. You could help stop the trafficking of children. Make a difference with Lighten Up Gear.
We’re praying for you. Each shirt we send out will be prayed over. We will ask God to bless you and give you opportunities to share your faith story with someone else.
So who are we?
Well, we aren’t located in Nashville or Texas. In fact, we’re from Des Moines, Iowa of all places.
We aren’t owned by a Christian corporate conglomeration. Instead, we like to think of ourselves as the little guy. We’re David, not Goliath.
We don’t have a fancy store. Jesus was born in a manger. Our church meets in a school gym. And our business is run out of our basement.
