The Message Behind the Thread: How Scripture Inspires Our Designs

The Message Behind the Thread: How Scripture Inspires Our Designs

At Made In The EighTees, we don’t just print shirts — we print scripture, purpose, and conviction. Each design begins not with a sketchpad, but with the Word of God. Our mission is to turn powerful verses into bold statements of faith that walk with you through everyday life.

Why Scripture?

Because it never returns void. (Isaiah 55:11)
Our world is filled with noise, opinions, and agendas. But God’s Word cuts through the static. It convicts. It comforts. It changes hearts. When we design a shirt, we’re not choosing trendy phrases — we’re choosing truth that doesn’t expire.

Designs That Preach

Every tee is a form of evangelism. Whether it’s a verse that’s helped you through a dark time or a promise you're standing on now, our apparel becomes a witness without a word. You never know who might be reading your shirt — in line at the grocery store, walking down the street, or scrolling online.

We prayerfully consider the message behind every design. It’s not about being clever. It’s about being clear. We want each shirt to carry the boldness of the early church and the unshakable faith of the modern believer.

From Study to Shirt

Here’s a peek into our process:

• Prayer & Scripture study – Every collection starts with time in the Word.

• Theme discovery – What is God speaking? Boldness? Identity? Revival?

• Verse selection – We choose scripture that speaks directly to the theme.

• Design process – Fonts, layout, and artwork that support—not distract from—the message.

It’s More Than Style — It’s a Stand

Our goal isn’t to help you fit in. It’s to help you stand out for the right reasons. Every time you wear one of our shirts, you’re planting seeds. You're making the Gospel visible.
