What is Kingdom Work?

This is not costume. This is calling.
Not cloaks of the past, but threads of testimony—
woven from what was tossed aside,
reborn into garments that reveal grace in every fold.

Some pieces are marked with messy paint splatters
crooked cuttings, and imperfect writing—
like prayers scribbled in haste,
or faith patched together on the edge of surrender.
Because life is not tidy, and neither is transformation.

These looks carry stories—
from treasures tucked in my parents' attic,
to construction bags and bits from Charlie’s, my favorite used tool shop,
to scraps rescued from the edge of the trash.
Each piece saved, shaped, and sanctified.

Kingdom Work is not about dressing like Bible characters.
It’s about becoming the message.
From Genesis to Revelation,
each look whispers of wilderness and wonder,
of battlefields and blessings,
of miracles stitched into the mundane.

Crafted from upcycled materials,
rooted in scripture,
and carried on the backs of friends
who walk in faith and purpose—

This is wearable worship.
This is holy imagination.

Created by Brandi McMichael. Modeled by her community.
