Christian graphic tees & minimalist home decor
that keeps God's Word front-and-center
A few years ago I was looking for Christian tees and had a hard time finding any that I liked.
What I did find were Christian t-shirts that were often flashy, cliché, and full of feel-good sayings.
And while that works fine for some, it’s just not my style. I'm drawn to neutral colors and simple, feminine designs.
But more importantly, I need clear, Biblical reminders of God’s truth to keep me grounded every single day.
May I be really honest for a moment?
Being a Christian wife and mom is a blessing, and also, it’s really hard. Keeping your peace and sanity is a sweaty, sticky, taxing battle, and it restarts every morning.
There are days when you feel untethered and tossed around, just trying to stay afloat. Discouraged that you’re not a good mom. Too busy with your sweet babies to ever get enough rest. Blindsided by challenges you never expected.
Friend, I long with all my heart to call out to you in the battle, “Run to Jesus! Run with all your might!”
HE is all you need.
Pure, straight Jesus.
ONLY Jesus.
Not caffeine.
Not the perfect routine.
Not more sleep.
Not a clean house.
(Though those things are really nice. :))
Somewhere along the line, life got harder than I ever expected. It tested my faith that Jesus was truly enough in my brokenness. And those cheesy Christian tees weren’t cutting it for me. I didn’t need more feel-good sayings – feelings are fickle and always changing. I needed REAL, meaningful Scripture to anchor me to the reality of God’s presence and character.
So I started designing Christian graphic t-shirts and minimalist home decor that simply let Scripture speak for itself, without distractions. I love finding those special verses that really resonate, the ones that tether our hearts to truth in a meaningful way. My designs are clean and timeless, gently guiding us back to Jesus again and again.
And when God's Word captivates our hearts and minds, we have everything we need to navigate our daily battles.
I’m Maria, owner of These Stones.
I want my life – and this business – to be a declaration of God’s goodness. Keeping little reminders of truth in front of my eyes all day long has changed my life. It’s a practical way to realign my focus multiple times a day – and I need that!
I’m a wife to Benji and mama to six precious kiddos who keep me busy, humble, and laughing. These Stones is a family business – I couldn’t do it without their support and help!
About nine years ago, we sensed God leading our family to move from Lancaster, PA to Los Angeles, CA, to share Jesus with our neighbors. Most of our neighbors are Latino, and you'll hear more Spanish than English around here.
Benji serves as the pastor of our small church plant – which meets in our home – and works in construction to support our family. I have the privilege of homeschooling our six children and serving alongside my husband. One of our favorite things to do is opening our home to whomever the Lord brings our way.
We’re humbled and grateful for the gift of stewarding this small business. It’s a small piece of our mission, helping to fund our ability to serve this community.
Friend, I pray that my Christian graphic t-shirts and minimalist home decor are a reminder of God’s faithfulness throughout the challenges of your day. It is my hope that each design gently points you back to the truth that Jesus is enough.
As you shop These Stones, I pray that your heart is strengthened by the truth of God’s Word. I hope you feel equipped to remember God’s goodness and anchor yourself to His truth.
