I started Olivet at my kitchen table after a season that almost broke me. I’d lost my job, my dad was sick, and one night I held the small cross my grandmother gave me and just cried. That cross reminded me God was still there. I thought: what if I could give that feeling to other people?

So I made the first pendant, tucked a verse card inside the box, and shipped it with a prayer. That was 18,000 customers ago.

Now I’m closing the shop to go full-time into ministry. My church asked me to lead a Christ-centered program for young men in our city, and I can’t do both. I’d rather these pieces be on someone’s neck than boxed up in my garage, so everything left goes at closing prices: 10% off one, 20% off two, 30% off three or more.
