STARTING FROM SCRATCH: THE LAST ADAM || Battle Ready - S03E27

After a quick tease of Erwin's upcoming new project, Aaron sits down with Joshua Rhodes, creative director and creator of The Last Adam - a faith-based clothing line and brand started in 2018 - and asks him about the origins of his brand, how he started out, and what he's learned along the way.
From creative purpose to the source of creativity and the importance of rest, Aaron and Joshua dive into the nuances of creation and artistic expression.
They discuss the balance of work and personal creativity, sources of inspiration, and how authenticity in your brand is what creates genuine engagement.
Joshua shares the origins and inspirations behind his designs for The Last Adam, and his vision for what faith-based clothing could be. This leads to a larger discussion on creativity in the Church, how the majority of designs and content don't include the outsider, and the political divide seen in the church from the response to the "Defend the Oppressed" billboard which Joshua helped design.

Love this brand! First saw someone wearing the “Spirit That Gives Life” hoodie at the first Seattle gathering. Loved the message on that hoodie!

Great podcast!!! Really enjoyed listening to it!! Thank you!!!!! Too many people say “God says” to manipulate people and it’s such a turn off. Also projectile vomiting on people is a huge turn off too. Anyways, I voted for Biden because I’m hoping he will lead us toward unity. These past 4 years have been brutal for minorities. It honestly breaks my heart and I can’t stand it. I can’t sleep a lot of days but I’m lucky to have a bed, many people don’t. Anyways, I respect you both no matter who you voted for. Joshua, I can tell you are a very genuine person. I love how your line is so inclusive to everyone, not just religious people. I feel like people get too caught up in “talking like God” instead of coming from a place of love, which I think says a lot more. We can say a lot of things but if our actions or the way we treat others is the contrary, your words are just that, words. You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk? I feel like you will reach so many people both in and out of the church by being genuine like you are, and more people will get to see God’s love genuinely. You’re a real one!!! Bless you both for not being fake!!!!!!!
