About Kingdom
About Us:
Kingdom Extreme Magazine exists to display the love, grace and acceptance of our heavenly Father, whom through Jesus Christ made the world whole and without one cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Kingdom Extreme Magazine has been established as a platform for positive, uplifting, straight edge and/or Christian artists, writers and musicians to spread their message. We believe that these artists are the back bone of our future and without the efforts of these strong men and women, Christianity will be contained to you local corner church and reserved for your grandparents generation. We are on a mission to spread the exceptionality of a walk with Christ to the youth of America and abroad. We feel there is no reason that church needs to be pushed into a box and lead by a guy with a suite and tie. We are immersed in the culture of today and understand where your kids live and how they feel. With that knowledge we are able to access a level of trust that no other organization can parallel, thus affording us the luxury of spreading the gospel directly to the youth.

We welcome you as you are! We are a non-denominational, non-judgmental, independent entity that operates free from any church oversite however, we give great heed to the words and advice of religious leaders and their congregations. The decisions and actions of the magazine are based on the greater good of His Kingdom.

Mission Statement
As missionaries to the United States we are committed to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the youth of America thruough any means necessary. We will be at the forefront of Christianity, pushing into areas that are typically shunned by the public and often times, the church. We will be the life-line to the streets, the bars, and the concert halls. Our light will shine amidst the darkness and troubles of the world for all to see. We lead with compassion, grace and understanding, as Christ has done.

Background
Our founder and director, Josh Drespling was the creator and editor-in-chief of the tremendously successful Empire Magazine. He single handedly took an idea from the meager beginnings of a local self published fan 'zine to a nationally distributed publication that triumphed the music industry. Empire was hailed as one of the finest underground music magazines by fans, record labels and bands alike. Empire acquired deals with Best Buy, Barnes & Nobles, Hastings, Walden Books, 7-11, Media Play and over 65 other independent retailers.
Josh also has an extensive background in graphic design, photography, and has often been know to be a marketing guru. Mr. Drespling has also performed in several musical acts and has a keen knowledge of how the music industry functions.

Financial
Kingdom Extreme Magazine is fully funded by organizational support, individual contributions and advertising sales. We have several organizations that support us financially, as we are their missionaries to the United States. We also garner contributions from individuals who feel that we are a blessing and are reaching the kids that they never could.
