We can’t wait to embark with you on the adventure of a lifetime.
WHO WE ARE NOW
We are two men with one story and one mission: to live a life worthy of sharing with others. We seek to redeem our gifts while embracing our sensitivity through mutual accountability and the grace of God.
WHO WE WERE THEN
Nathanael Philip-Abad Mosher and Nehemiah Williams were two exceptionally gifted, yet exceptionally sensitive young men seeking to do good. Nathanael entered UCLA as a biomedical engineer with secret dreams of becoming a comedian. Nehemiah went his way to the renowned Berklee College of Music to pursue God through song. As they embarked on their respective hero’s journey, they hid a darkness lurking underneath. The once tiny monster relegated to the corners of their mind grew and ran roughshod over their lives. They spiraled into debilitating depression as pornography decimated the integrity of their relationships. Yet when they saw nothing but death, the Light of Truth appeared and they surrendered everything to Life itself.
WHY FOLLOW US?
Follow us as we climb the tallest mountains, slay the fiercest dragons, and pursue the highest good while confronting the greatest evil we’ve ever known.
WHAT WE’RE DOING
Here at PPDK Productions we firmly believe that if you actively and consistently pursue the highest good, you will find God, because that’s who He is. To deny the calling the Lord has put on your heart is to choose Death. There is nothing more tragic than a man lacking purpose. Follow us as we document our attempts to live a life well-lived and to tell the stories of others who wish to do the same. A life well-lived is a story worth telling, one that resonates deep with meaning, purpose, reverberating past the recesses of the mind and straight to the heart.
We’re starting with our stories because that’s what we know. We can’t tell you how to live, but we can tell you how we survived our own. Through interview, through song, through joke, through poem, through heart-wrenching story, we’ll tell you the truth of our lives in as many ways as we can in the hopes that one day, you will too. Living to tell the tale is our purpose. We’re doing it first so you can too.
“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” - Isaiah 55:12 NIV

What does, “A House of Worship Through Testimony” even mean?
Well, one day, we’re going to have a building on the westside of Los Angeles where people go to not only be fed spiritually by the redemptive true stories of those seeking the highest good, but also accidentally entertained. To “entertain” means to uphold expectation. PPDK is an abbrevation of the word “paraprosdokian” which means “against expectation”. When someone delivers their testimony gracefully, artfully, and with the highest skill, not only does one go there and leave feeling “entertained”, but their expectations are transcended into a new place they never thought they would go. That is the power of the “paraprosdokian”, a turn of phrase in which the second part makes you re-evaluate the meaning of the first, resulting in perspective. Patiently enduring the pain of life with the help of people engages one with their purpose, reveals perspective, and allows them to live to tell the tale. “Paraprosdokians”, or “one-liners”, are the result. Every great story is chock full of them and it’s our mission to deliver you the best ones!
