Start A Riot Media
Young Media Production House Start A Riot is a young company undertaking a big task. A different form of the Christian film, a new type of faith-based media.
As individuals, all three of us, have been very successful in our separate careers paths. That being said last December we decided that we could stay on our current career path and just become part of the machine and by machine I mean apart of a system that we see as broken. Films and music are made by a select few gatekeepers and all content flows through them. So like the salmon that swims upstr

It’s an invitation to new life.
Jesus was born so that we could be born again.
“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
— John 3:3
Our hope for you is that you will receive Christ’s gift
and experience the miracle of being born again.
🙏🏽 Merry Christmas

Jesus came to us as the ultimate gift—the gift of life. He is the perfect gift. It is essential to receive His gift and to get to know Him personally, not just to know of Him. A gift remains useless until unwrapped; simply knowing you have a gift does not allow it to flourish in your life. Every breath we take is a gift from the One who breathed life into us and made us in His image and likeness.
This Christmas, I would like to give you a gift! Allow me to speak a blessing over you and your loved ones.
Because I know:
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights." — James 1:17
I pray that:
"God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:19
I know that:
"The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it." — Proverbs 10:22
Finally:
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace." — Numbers 6:24-26
To receive the full blessing of His love, UNWRAP THE GIFT:
“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus asked Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
On the day we celebrate Jesus' birthday 🎂, I pray this will also be your spiritual birthday. To see the kingdom here on earth and in the next life, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN! 🙏

Everyone is talking; everyone has something to say. There are so many places for everyone to speak, but God is speaking to someone, and they can't hear Him because He speaks in a still, small voice. Stop talking, everyone, and listen!
God’s Revelation to Elijah
11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (has everyone lost their way like this man of God)
