The Uprising is a reality television show centering around the lives and ministry of Jay Haizlip, Brian Sumner, and Christian Hosoi. Together and with the help of many others, they use their collective backgrounds as professional skateboarders as they comb skate parks, backyard pools, and other hangouts in an effort to spread the Gospel of Christ. Committed to affecting the world around them, the trio shares their faith and hope with friends, drug addicts, and even police. Through their ministry and the show as well, cultural and religious boundaries are breached with an unconventional but truly biblical approach to ministry on a person to person level.
