About Me
Meet Thomas Bradley
Revolutionary Designer. Follower of Christ. Deep Thinker. Creating Heirloom Pieces That Bear Witness to Truth.
The Foundation
I served in the United States Marines as an Amphibious Assault Vehicle Operator and Crew Chief. Once a Marine, always a Marine—that discipline and precision live in my heart.
The Corps taught me to never quit, to focus under pressure, and to execute with excellence. That foundation shaped who I am, and now I'm walking into what God has called me to next.
The Journey
After the Marines, I went to Rhema Bible Training College and graduated in the Pastoral field. This gave me a heart for people and a passion for the Gospel—not just in word, but in deed. My fruit should speak for who I am.
I worked in solar, helping families secure their future. But I wanted to build something with my hands—something that would last for generations and open doors for the Kingdom.
The Vision
God dropped this vision into my heart, and Persecuted Truth was born. I'm not just making bags—I'm creating revolutionary designs from the ground up: leather, hardware, every element crafted with intention.
I'm a free thinker, fascinated by ancient history and what the world was like before. But I'm even more captivated by the new heaven and new earth God will create. I love thinking deeply about creation, revelation, and the mysteries God unveils.
Why I Do This
I make bags for two reasons. First, because it's what I love—and as Ecclesiastes teaches, finding joy in your work is the meaning of life. Second, because this business is a port: a place where people come in and go out, where the Gospel is shared, where lives are changed.
Every piece I create is 150-200+ hours of devotion. This isn't just craftsmanship—it's worship. It's legacy. It's a witness to the Truth I bear.
This is what I was made to do. This is my calling. This is my life's work to the glory of God.
