Lazarus Coffee Co. was never just about coffee. It started with a simple question: “What if this could be a way to plant seeds of faith?”

I’m Pepper White Riley — founder of Lazarus Coffee Co. and someone who believes deeply in the quiet, steady work of the Lord. My heart behind this company is simple: to use coffee as a bridge, and this platform as a way to gently sow truth into people’s lives — through Scripture, prayer, and free resources that point back to Jesus. The name Lazarus comes from the story in John 11, when Jesus called His friend back to life.

That story is at the core of who we are — not just a miracle, but a message: no matter how far gone something feels, Jesus can bring it back. Lazarus Coffee Co. exists to plant seeds of faith — and to help water them however we can. We believe in Scripture that speaks life, encouragement for the soul, and moments of reflection — whether you're reading from your phone or sipping coffee at your table. There’s no pressure here — just small, intentional things to stir up spiritual hunger and remind people of what really matters. Whether you’re new to faith or just feeling spiritually dry, my prayer is that something here nudges you closer to Jesus.

Our logo might feel intense — a skull with a crown of thorns. But that’s the heart of our message. Death doesn’t have the final say. We were dead in our sin, and Christ raised us — just like Lazarus. The skull reminds us of what we were. The thorns remind us of what He wore. And the life we live now? All grace.

We offer a growing library of free, printable resources to encourage you wherever you are: Scripture memory tools, prayer and journaling guides, verse art for your home or coffee cup, and encouraging reflections rooted in truth. We’re not here to sell faith — we’re just here to scatter seeds and trust God with the growth. If something here encourages you, share it. Use it. Let it be a tool for your own walk or someone else’s.

This is a quiet little corner of the internet that’s prayerfully crafted to nourish weary hearts, and I’m so glad you’re here.
