Colors of Character is a story of obedience, faith, and redemption. This documentary style film displays the life of Steve Skipper and his transformation from a violent street gang member to a prolific sports artist. Untrained as an artist, his gift of painting is purely God given.

Growing up in a dysfunctional home in Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement, Skipper traveled down a dark, dangerous path, joining a gang, selling drugs, and living a life of addiction and darkness. But upon meeting an evangelizing lifeguard named Big Mike, a yearning for a different life was awakened, and his journey took a sudden turn.

This is an amazing, awe-inspiring, redeeming example of how God's love can change the trajectory of someone's life. Using Skipper's talents, God provided an escape from the darkness, and Skipper's obedience afforded him a powerful, beautiful, and successful life's journey. Despite his many struggles, even after becoming a Christian, he is now a world renown painter of sports players and Civil Rights heroes.

This film brings to mind two Scripture passages:

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heaven laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Matthew 11: 28-29

In all thy ways acknowledge him and, he shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:6

This documentary is a wonderful illustration of how God's grace and our faith and obedience can become an extraordinary, colorful life of character.
