FEROCIOUS FAITH PRODUCT LINE INC
About us
In February 2018, Ardenna launched the Ferocious Faith corporation in Texas. Her idea was to create a company that would allow her to fulfill her passion for ministry and business. She wanted to design her corporation proportionately divided into 50 percent ministry and 50 percent business.
The company's three main components include blog posts about faith, God’s grace, mercy, and many trending topics for Christians. Another part of the business is our online store, which we created to sell inspirational products for men and women.
Finally, the third aspect of the business will include hosting events geared toward Christian women in the military and Christian women Veterans.
Team up with us in 2025 to launch and grow our businesses and ministries!

Christian Warfare
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens. 13 For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. 14 Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, 15 and your feet sandaled with readiness

BUILDING FEROCIOUS FAITH
Requires Heavy Lifting
Take Up Your Cross
Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross dai‐ly, and follow me. 24 For who‐ever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will save it. 25 For what does it benefit someone if he gains the whole world, and yet loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and the holy an‐gels. 27 Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
Why does God require faith?
Our relationship with God is similar to our relationship with others in that all relationships require faith. We can never fully know any other person. We cannot experience all they experience nor enter into their
minds to know what their thoughts and emotions are. Proverbs 14:10 says, "The heart knows its own bitterness, and a stranger does not share its joy." We are incapable of even knowing our own hearts fully. Jeremiah 17:9 says that the human heart is wicked and deceptive, "Who can know it?" In other words, the human heart is such that it seeks to hide the depth of its wicked-
ness, deceiving even its owner. We do this through shifting blame, justifying wrong behavior, minimizing our sins, etc.
God has revealed enough of His nature for us to be able to trust Him. He has shown through the events of history, in the workings of nature, and through the life of Jesus Christ that He is all-powerful, allknowing, all-wise, all-loving, all-holy, unchanging, and eternal. And in that revelation, He has shown that He is worthy to be trusted. But, as with the Israelites in the wilderness, the choice is ours whether or not we will trust Him. Often, we are inclined to make this choice based on what we think we know about God rather than what He has revealed about Himself and can be understood about Him through a careful study of His inerrant Word, the Bible.

The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States.
That September, the Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by Black Americans and other peoples of African descent.
Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The event
In February 1926, Woodson sent out a press release announcing the first Negro History Week. He chose February because the month contained the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, two prominent men whose historic achievements African Americans already celebrated. (Lincoln’s birthday was February 12; Douglass, who was formerly enslaved, hadn’t known his actual
The author of more than 20 books, including A Century of Negro Migration (1918), The History of the Negro Church (1921), The Negro in Our History (1922) and his most celebrated text, The MisEducation of the Negro (1933), Woodson also worked in education, as principal for the Armstrong Manual Training School in Washington, D.C., and dean at Howard University and the West Virginia Collegiate Institute.

Featuring Famous Black Americans
America’s story is a rich but complex one in which a select few people have taken center stage in the struggle for equal rights for Black people. Their strength, courage, and determination have left an indelible mark on the fabric of American history, culture, and society.
Harriet Tubman (1822-1913)
An abolitionist and political activist, Harriet Tubman is best known for helping enslaved people escape through the Underground Railroad.
A former slave herself, Tubman’s bravery and determination in conducting numerous missions to rescue enslaved individuals, coupled with her efforts in the women’s suffrage movement, made her an enduring symbol of courage and freedom in American history.
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895)
Frederick Douglass was a social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York.
Known for his eloquence, Douglass wrote several autobiographies describing his experiences in slavery and his life after the Civil War. He was a powerful voice for human rights and social justice.
A prominent scientist and inventor in the early 20th century, George Washington Carver was renowned for his innovative agricultural research and advocacy for sustainable farming.
Best known for his work with peanuts, including developing over 100 products from them, Carver played a significant role in revolutionizing agricultural practices in the southern United States, especially for struggling Black farmers.
