Enoch Magazine interviewed Shane Claiborne as he traveled through the southeast. Shane had just gotten back from Australia, when he rolled though Charlotte, NC. His entourage consisted only of his mother and he spoke two days at the Christian-based artist colony in downtown Charlotte known as Area 15. Shane is a well known author of popular books like The Irresistible Revolution and Jesus for President.
When I was in 7th grade I discovered my first Bad Religion CD, Stranger than Fiction. From that day on I began my journey as a young kid who would find a passion for Punk Rock. I loved what these Punk Bands had to say. What really attracted me to Bad Religion was what they were singing about. They addressed issues in their songs that I never heard about in church or Sunday School.
Joel Maslin is one of our Enoch Team members. He journeyed with us the first time to Skid Row and now he has returned. It’s very hard to capture 90% of what happens when we travel to Skid Row. Most of the team prefers to walk around and talk with people. The other side of our team is working on filming and editing. But Joel fits right in between, or rather, he fits no category.
Enoch Magazine traveled to Atlanta Georgia in early December to document a street minister named Sean Rogers. It was outside a homeless shelter that I ran into Karl. Certainly, the first thing you notice about Karl is his swollen eye.

Enoch Magazine is back helping the homeless in Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles. Last March we took our first journey to help the homeless and we’re back to continue the work we started. Listen to Brandt Russo as he talks about the overwhelming experience of people reacting to our Skid Row Trip.
Art is seen and interpreted by people in many different ways. I consider myself someone who appreciates art, but what I may think is beautiful…others may think is terrible..
It’s all about the eye of the beholder.
This past summer Enoch Magazine was in St Louis and we stumbled across the Screwed In Art Show.It was about midnight and we had just finished filming the Less Than Jake concert….
Enoch Magazine went to Scotland. Carter Theis, Daniel Libby and Alex Brownley flew up there to hook up with skateboarder/missionary David Reasbeck, (or REZ-BEK). David was already working on a newly formed skate church with some other missionaries from Globe Missions. These videos contain interviews with Dave, skateboarding sessions and local kids we met while we were…
The second half of our first trip was spent meeting with known figures in the community such as Pastor Ron. We learned that the first real need for Skid Row is to assist those who are already down there working everyday to make a difference in people’s lives. Most of them are under funded. Nevertheless, they have dedicated their lives to assisting the poor and the addicted.
Enoch Magazine went to Skid Row, downtown Los Angeles in March of 2008. We filmed a documentary with 8 guys from different cities who decided to be a part of this crazy experience. If you don’t know, Skid Row is about an 8 block radius, where over 10,000 homeless people live, either on the streets, in shelters or missions.
