What if spiritual living didn’t mean having all the answers, but simply walking with intention?
Jesus Was a Camper is more than a book or t-shirt. While it makes a cool coffee mug, there is something greater we are saying. It’s a lifestyle. A philosophy. A vibe. And a movement for people who feel something sacred under the stars, who hear whispers of wisdom in the wind, and who find themselves most at peace around a campfire (especially with an acoustic guitar).
Yes—we believe Jesus is who he said he was.
But we also believe his life points us toward something universal: a simpler, freer, more intentional way of being.
That’s the spirit of Jesus Was a Camper.
It’s not about being preachy. It's not about asking you: "Have you been saved?" It’s not about dogma or denomination.
It’s about living simply, loving deeply, and wandering well.
Why “Jesus Was a Camper”?
Because he was.
He walked. He wandered. He camped out.
He found solitude in the wilderness, shared meals with strangers, and spent time away from the noise to reconnect with what matters.
Jesus wasn’t building an empire; he was building a way of being.
He taught on hillsides, healed on the road, and often chose the wild over the temple.
We take inspiration from that as a way of life: to walk with intention, to embrace nature, to lead with love, and to let go of what doesn’t serve us.
