About Adopted Into Glory
Art, apologetics, and a life shaped by adoption into God’s family.
My name is Gage Kinney, though creatively I am known as Ape. I am an artist, writer, musician, and Christian apologist, and Adopted Into Glory is where those parts of my life come together.
I was adopted at the age of two, along with my brothers. That part of my story has shaped the way I understand identity, family, belonging, and the Gospel. Scripture teaches that those who are in Christ are not merely forgiven and left at a distance. We are brought into God’s family and adopted as His children.
That is where the name Adopted Into Glory comes from.
This site was created to make faith visible and truth clear. Through artwork, essays, interactive tools, and honest examination of difficult questions, my goal is to help people understand Christianity, test its claims, and grow more confident in what they believe.
My work is shaped by a love of classical art, theological study, philosophy, logic, Scripture, and real conversations with people who believe differently. I do not want to avoid difficult objections or offer shallow answers. Truth is worth examining carefully, defending honestly, and communicating clearly.
Whether I am creating a charcoal drawing, writing an apologetics essay, building an interactive resource, or making music, the purpose remains the same: to create with purpose, speak with clarity, and point people toward Christ.

Why I Built This
I built Adopted Into Glory because I wanted to create the kind of resource I would have found useful while asking serious questions about faith.
There are people who believe but do not know how to explain why. There are people who are uncertain and do not know where to begin. There are also people with strong objections who deserve more than a dismissive response.
This site is for all three.
I am convinced that Christianity is true, but I do not believe truth needs to fear honest examination. My goal is not merely to win arguments. It is to present the Christian faith clearly, answer objections fairly, and help people move closer to the truth.
