Bruised. Crucified. Alive. Three words. The whole gospel.
The Risen Sweatshirt carries the gospel arc — from Isaiah 53:5's "bruised" prophecy, through the cross, to the empty tomb. Three beats. Death-to-life. Worn on Gildan 18000, the heavy-blend classic that's been a streetwear staple for decades.
Crewneck cut. Honest weight. Built for the long wear.
"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."
— Matthew 28:6
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities."
— Isaiah 53:5

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Bruised. Crucified. Alive." mean?
It's the gospel in three beats. Bruised — Isaiah 53:5 prophesied the Suffering Servant 700 years before the cross. Crucified — the central event of the New Testament and human history. Alive — the resurrection. Together, three words tell the whole arc of what Christ did.
Why these three words specifically?
Because they refuse to skip the cost. A lot of Easter messaging jumps straight to "He is risen" without sitting with what came first. The Risen Range honours the wounds before declaring the victory.
Is this sweatshirt for Easter or year-round?
Both. The resurrection isn't a seasonal event — it's the central claim of the Christian faith every day of the year. The sweatshirt works as Easter weekend apparel and as everyday declaration.
What's the difference between this and the Chosen Hoodie or Greater Classics Hoodie?
Different silhouette and scripture. The Risen Classic is a crewneck sweatshirt (no hood). The Chosen Hoodie is a drop-shoulder organic pullover (1 Peter 2:9). The Greater Classics Hoodie is a classic pullover hoodie (1 John 4:4). Three different cuts, three different scriptures.
Is the sweatshirt unisex?
Yes — classic Gildan 18000 cut, sized S to 5XL.
