In this inspiring episode of Faithly Stories, guest Brian Chung, co-founder and CEO of Alabaster, shares with host Alicia Lee how a vision to present Scripture through the lens of design and beauty became a movement that's reshaping how people engage with God’s Word.

From his upbringing in Hawaii in a Buddhist household to a transformative encounter with Christ in college, Brian's personal story lays the foundation for a conversation about faith, art, and calling. He takes us behind the scenes of Alabaster’s first bold step—a Kickstarter campaign that far exceeded expectations—and the passion that has since driven their mission to make the Bible more visually compelling and spiritually meaningful.

With over a million books sold and recognition from Inc. 5000 and Forbes, Alabaster’s success reflects not only entrepreneurial grit but also a deep commitment to spiritual integrity. Brian opens up about moments of failure and hard choices, including one pivotal production error that became a defining lesson in choosing mission over money.
