Rise to Alive is a bold brand and a life mantra created and founded in 2022.
“Death is not merely a physical force, it can and will steal life from us emotionally and spiritually while we are still living. However, through the power of Jesus who overcame death itself, we can come back from the tragedies, heal from our pains, and find victory in all of our life experiences…
…The choice is mine—to decide that no matter what I have been through, no matter what I have lost, no matter what death I have to endure… I will Rise to Alive!”
WHAT IS THE “RISE TO ALIVE” SECRET?
The essence of story surrounds us as we live out our lives every day—story is filled with insignificance and inspiration, monotony and miracles, sorrow and solace, tragedy and triumph! What drives us, however, when we experience the first of each of those to embrace the latter? What moves us from being victims to becoming victors? What revives us from wounded to winners? The secret resides in the mantra of “Rise to Alive”—a phrase which boldly reflects a defiant choice to ascend out of defeats and deaths we encounter relationally, professionally, personally, financially and ignite a physical, mental, and spiritual state of victory!
