Through simple hand-drawn storytelling, the newly released video examines the deeper causes of recurring struggles and the Christian path toward becoming new.
Wilmington, Delaware Sep 15, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Author and pastor David Piper brings a powerful message about the roots of human struggle to life through a newly released illustrated piece inspired by his Christian book, BREAKING FREE FROM OUR FALLEN NATURE: By Exchanging It For A New One.
Using hand-drawn visuals and a straightforward narrative, the video explores the difference between changing outward behavior and addressing the deeper condition of the heart. It offers viewers an accessible introduction to Piper's message of spiritual renewal, inner transformation, and freedom from patterns that continue to return.
At the center of the video is the image of a tree whose visible damage reflects problems developing beneath the surface. Through this metaphor, Piper examines struggles such as anger, worry, discouragement, pride, and broken relationships. The illustrated format presents these themes in a clear and relatable way, showing how temporary solutions may repair appearances without addressing the underlying causes. Rather than suggesting that personal growth means becoming a more improved version of the old self, the video points to the Christian belief that genuine renewal begins with becoming new through a transformed inner life.
"But sometimes the storm isn't the real problem. The problem is what's been growing underneath. The roots were already damaged. The storm simply revealed it," a line from the video.
Piper's message is grounded in decades of quiet service, ministry, and teaching. From 1978 to 1991, he served as a pastor across four provinces in Western Canada, later dedicating years to his church's children's ministry and to leading a weekly Bible study for seniors in Hamilton, Ontario. For 25 years, he has also served as a night prayer partner with the Crossroads prayer lines. Alongside his wife of 48 years, Piper has built a life centered on faith, family, and service, with a married son and three grandchildren.
The illustrated piece is intended for viewers drawn to Christian faith, personal reflection, spiritual growth, and the search for freedom from recurring struggles. Through this simple and accessible presentation, Piper hopes to share his message of renewal with a wider audience, including Christian communities and readers across Asia who may find meaning in its reflections on faith, inner change, and becoming new.

Since the Shaw Prize was first presented in 2004, the prestigious annual awards have been presented in three categories: astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences. A fourth category – computer science – was announced earlier this year in a move that is fully in keeping with the original vision of Run Run Shaw, the late Hong Kong film mogul and legendary philanthropist, who set everything in motion. His intention was to recognise the quest for knowledge and honour...

The appeal of a good knit is often immediate, from the softness against the skin to the reassuring volume and warmth. At 45R, those qualities begin well before a garment takes shape. The Japanese label’s latest selection puts the making process in focus, bringing together airy merino, characterful Shetland wool and the flecked textures of Donegal tweed. Founded in Tokyo in 1977, 45R approaches clothing through monozukuri, or the “art of making”, a philosophy centred on respect for craft and...

At 22, Luca Yang was running a small teaching company in New Zealand after quitting a six-figure finance job that he hated. It had humble beginnings, where he tutored English online for A$25 (US$17.55) per hour just to get by. When one of his students got into Oxford, word spread: one student became 50, then 500. By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
