Steven Drenning Jr was raised and lives in Southern California.
Previously an atheist of atheists, and partaker of every which wind of philosophy, psychedelic drug, and striking vanity; in 2009 God chose to replace this man's inner man and affect him to be a seeker of Christ above all.
Now in every art, be it poetry, painting, music, dance, etc; Steven seeks the theological aesthetic; to point man toward Christ, and show His glory.
