After meeting through Russ Dizdar’s Project Josiah, Tom and Jared teamed up to make a film; Detestable. Shortly thereafter a YouTube channel was launched.

Now, over three years and three films later, they are still encouraging and helping to equip other followers of Jesus to be bold in their faith and expose the darkness.

Jared has been keeping busy in Texas with his family, through his involvement with a local church, and by producing content on his YouTube channel Jared 2.0. Jared has additionally been known to write content for his blog from time to time.

Based in Ohio, Tom keeps busy primarily with content for Through The Black, but has also been known to start side projects and channels discussing music and lyric analysis.

What we believe:
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
Born of the Virgin Mary;
Suffered under Pontius Pilate;
Was crucified, dead and buried;
The third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven;
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit;
The Holy Christian Church,
the Communion of Saints;
The Forgiveness of sins;
The Resurrection of the body;
And the life everlasting. Amen.
