<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you grew up in the late ’80s or ’90s, you probably remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—the action figures that defined a generation. In this powerful episode of *Healing &amp;amp; Becoming*, Tamika Thomas sits down with **Quiggly**, the lead concept artist behind those legendary toys, who has now stepped into a new calling—creating **Ancientz**, a faith-fueled universe inspired by Hebrews 11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;After years of business success, burnout, and a spiritual awakening, Quiggly rediscovered his creative fire and found a divine mission: to tell redemptive stories through futuristic heroes built on biblical truth. Ancientz reimagines timeless legends as robotic warriors of light, reminding us that faith and imagination can coexist beautifully.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Together, Tamika and Quiggly dive deep into the intersection of **faith, creativity, redemption, and legacy**—and what it means to let God breathe on your gifts again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;img src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/16.0/1f4a1/32.png"&gt; What You’ll Hear in This Episode:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;* Behind-the-scenes TMNT nostalgia and how it shaped the Ancientz universe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;* The redemptive story of how God reignited Quiggly’s creative mission&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;* The biblical inspiration behind Ancientz—especially Hebrews 11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;* Encouragement for creatives who think it’s “too late” to start again&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;* How Ancientz is redefining faith-based storytelling for a new generation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;img src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/16.0/2694_fe0f/32.png"&gt; About Ancientz:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ancientz is a collectible universe where **spirit-powered robotic heroes** rise from the pages of faith and legend.
