My Ninja Way: Why I’m choosing to love, God and love people

In the world of Naruto, every shinobi lives by a personal code; a guiding principle called their Ninja Way. It’s not just a motto. It’s a commitment. A promise to themselves and the world around them. For Naruto, it was simple: “I never go back on my word. That’s my ninja way.” No matter what he faced rejection, loneliness or loss he held onto that conviction with everything he had.
That got me thinking…
What’s my ninja way?
As a Christian, my ultimate guide isn’t a hidden scroll or secret technique it’s the Word of God. And when I look at what Jesus said matters most, it boils down to two powerful commands:
Love God. Love People. (Matthew 22:37–39)
That’s it. That’s my Ninja Way.
Not just a slogan. A way of life.
That heart of living out your faith with conviction and courage is what inspired me to write Faith and Anime Devotional: Believe It (Naruto Vol. 1). I wanted to show how the struggles, sacrifices, and victories we see in anime aren’t just good storytelling they reflect the spiritual battles we face every day.
In each devotionals, I connect iconic Naruto moments with biblical truth:
🌀 Naruto fighting through rejection
🌀 Sasuke wrestling with identity
🌀 Gaara learning the power of love
🌀 And how God’s love, grace, and truth meet us right where we are
This devotional isn’t just for anime fans. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they had to hide who they were to fit into church culture. It’s for the misfits, the deep thinkers, the late-night binge watchers who also pray for purpose. It’s for YOU.
👉🏾Why I Created the Shirt
Alongside the book, I designed a special limited-edition shirt that captures my Ninja Way:
👉🏾“Ninja Way: Love God. Love People.”
It’s more than merch. It’s a message.
When you wear it, you’re declaring your faith boldly and creatively. You’re showing that loving God and loving others is your ultimate mission and you’re not backing down.
Whether you’re at an anime convention, a youth group, or just running errands, this shirt lets the world know what you stand for. Just like Naruto wore his identity with pride, we can wear our faith the same way.
