The storm was real. So was the hand that caught him.
"But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." — Matthew 14:27 (KJV)
The story behind it: In the dark before dawn, the disciples saw Jesus walking toward them across the Sea of Galilee. Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind he began to sink, "and immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him" (Matthew 14:31). This one is for anyone in the middle of their own storm.
The design: A vintage engraving on the back: storm waves, light breaking through the clouds, and a robed hand gripping Peter's wrist above the water, with "BE OF GOOD CHEER" above and "IT IS I; BE NOT AFRAID" below. A small gold cross and "— Matthew 14:27" sit on the left chest.
The hoodie: Gildan Heavy Blend 50/50 cotton-poly with a front pouch pocket and a double-lined hood. Unisex fit. Bone and gold ink on Black, Dark Heather, Graphite Heather and Forest Green; deep ink and gold on Sand and Ash. Made to order just for you.
A gift that means something: for a son heading out on his own, a husband who carries a lot quietly, or a friend walking through a hard season. Pair it with the Not by Sight hoodie (Peter stepping out of the boat) for the step and the catch, or add the matching Be Of Good Cheer mug.
