Описание: Show Notes: Spirit Fueled Heroes with Ancientz creator, Howard “Quiggly” Chang

In this episode of the podcast, host Michele interviews Howard "Quiggly" Chang, a former lead toy concept artist for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, about his transformative faith journey and the creation of "Ancients," a franchise of biblically inspired robot collectibles. Howard shares how a personal encounter with God 12 years ago during a difficult divorce led to visions that inspired these characters, blending elements of Robotech and Pokémon with biblical stories from Hebrews and beyond. Now remarried, he and his wife Gloria have rapidly developed eight characters, launched a Kickstarter campaign, and debuted at Comic-Con, attracting interest from manufacturers, investors, and potential collaborators like Angel Studios. The discussion explores the mission to spark curiosity about the Bible through toys, future plans for a warrior series featuring faith-sharing athletes, and the importance of trusting God's provision over self-reliance.
