I founded Brazen for one reason: to tell excellent, redemptive stories that honor God and point to His Son.
Not stories for applause or comfort, but stories that carry truth, even when they cost everything.
Jesus was falsely accused.
Lied about.
Betrayed by those closest to Him.
He took on a debt and burden for people who could never repay it. He was shamed, mocked, and publicly condemned.
This animation we created at Brazen was for Tim Tebow’s children’s book If the Tree Could Speak, the story of a tree that dreamed of becoming something great, only to be cut down and made into a cross.
A symbol of pain.
Of shame.
But ultimately, of hope.
This story is about Jesus.
But it is also about calling.
About being misunderstood.
About sacrifice.
About purpose not proven by survival, but by obedience.
What appears to be an ending can still carry eternal purpose.
And in this moment, we’re reminded where it has always pointed:
To the cross.
“It is finished.” — John 19:30
