WHO IS ZEAL.

Zeal. The name says it all—a pursuit of passion, with purpose at its core. It’s not just about faith in God; it’s about faith in whatever drives you. That’s why we put a period at the end of Zeal.—because your passion should make a statement.

For us, faith changes everything, and Zeal was born as a faith-based brand to inspire and empower. Whether your pursuit is MMA, training at the gym, putting in long hours at work, skateboarding, extreme sports, fighting, or kickboxing, Zeal represents the grit, resilience, and dedication you bring to your craft.

This is about putting faith on display, faith in God, faith in your purpose, and faith in yourself. Whatever your passion, whatever your grind, Zeal is here to be the brand that fuels your pursuit.

WHAT WE STAND FOR:

Zeal stands for the pursuit of passion, no matter the obstacles in your way. Just as Joshua broke through the walls of Jericho with faith and determination, we’re here to inspire you to break through your own walls—whether they’re physical, mental, or spiritual.

Whether you believe in God or not, faith is the hidden essence that drives us to higher heights and bigger goals. It’s the unseen force we all need to conquer ourselves and reach the other side. When you wear our logo, it’s a symbol of that faith, fueling your purpose and empowering you to overcome every challenge.

OUR STATEMENTS AND SOLGANS:

Born to Burn, Built to Conquer

This reflects the journey of a Christian: we are all born into sin, destined for destruction without God (Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”). But through faith and surrender, we are reborn (John 3:3: “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”).

The "burn" represents the refining fire of trials and transformation (1 Peter 1:7: “These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold”), and the "built to conquer" speaks to God rebuilding us with purpose, strength, and victory in Him (Romans 8:37: “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us”).

Through God’s power, we conquer not only sin and fear but also ourselves, stepping into our God-given potential.

 

Pursuit of Passion

This represents the drive to chase what sets your heart on fire—your purpose, your dreams, and ultimately God Himself. It’s about channeling zeal into action, knowing that passion without direction is empty.

Colossians 3:23 reminds us, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” True passion stems from aligning your goals with God’s will and giving your all in the pursuit of what He’s placed in your heart.

Settle Never for Luck

This statement challenges the mindset of passivity. Life isn’t about hoping for luck; it’s about stepping out in faith, taking action, and trusting God to direct your steps. Proverbs 16:9 says, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”

It’s a call to reject complacency and instead embrace faith-driven effort, knowing that blessings and breakthroughs come from perseverance, not chance.

 

Fear no Man, Faith in God

This slogan is rooted in courage and ultimate trust in God. Psalm 27:1 declares, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?”

It’s a reminder that fear of people or worldly challenges has no place when you’re rooted in faith. Trusting God means stepping boldly into His promises, knowing He fights for you (Deuteronomy 31:6: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you”).

AMOR of GOD

This is a beautiful play on words, combining the love of God (amor) with the protective strength of His armor. Ephesians 6:10-18 speaks of putting on the full armor of God to stand firm against spiritual battles. This armor is not just for defense but is wrapped in God’s love, empowering us to walk in truth, righteousness, and peace.

At its core, “Amor of God” reflects that to wear God’s armor is to be clothed in His love—a love that shields, guides, and transforms us. It’s the perfect balance of strength and compassion, showing that God’s greatest weapon is His unending love (1 Corinthians 13:7: “Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres”).

 

ALL ABOUT THE OWNER:

Hello, my name is Nicholas. By profession, I’m a screen printer—something I stumbled into almost by accident, a trade that found me rather than the other way around. Life has its ups and downs, and through it all, I’ve always sensed that there’s a deeper, spiritual side to life. Through my trials and tribulations, my highs and my lows, there’s been one constant: a relentless pursuit to find God, to uncover my purpose, and to understand why I’m here.

For much of my life, I’ve felt like I had an orphan spirit—adrift and searching for something I couldn’t quite name. Growing up in New England, I experienced a place full of contrast: some of the kindest souls you’ll meet but also some of the harshest realities. Life there can deal blows that fists cannot, and it taught me that placing faith in people alone often leads to disappointment.

When life hit me hardest, I turned inward, desperate to find meaning. It was in my brokenness that I found God—or perhaps He found me. In that moment, He planted a dream in my heart: Zeal. A brand born from my own passion and faith, created to inspire others to become the best versions of themselves and to boldly chase their own purpose.

Life is often about those moments when we hit a wall and say, “Enough is enough.” It’s in those moments that we either stay stuck in the wilderness or decide to fight for who we were created to be. Sometimes we blame the devil for our struggles, but the truth is, life can turn us into our own worst enemy. We must learn to rewrite the lies we’ve told ourselves, to replace them with truth and faith.

Zeal is my way of putting my own passion and faith on display, combining the things I love most. Martial arts has been a huge part of my life, instilling discipline and resilience from an early age. I’m also a gym enthusiast, finding mental, physical, and spiritual fulfillment in staying active. For me, movement isn’t just important—it’s essential.

The other cornerstone of my life is drive. Through that drive, I found faith in God and realized that He speaks, loves, and is always there—even when we don’t cry out to Him. His love is steadfast.

Finally, I’ve had a dream since high school to start a clothing brand, but it never fully came to life until I truly found God. Those little sparks of inspiration I’d had for years suddenly became a fire, and as doors shut around me, one big door opened. The narrow path may not always be easy, but it leads to life. As Jesus said, “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake will find it” (Matthew 16:25).

My Best Advice to You: Never stop pursuing who you were created to be. Trust that even in the hardest moments, God is working. Sometimes, the only thing standing between you and your best self is the courage to believe that change is possible.
