Thisis theunfolding.
Three lives. One man. He burned it twice. Gave it all away. The porn pastor. The pot pastor. Now Digital Rose. This is Craig’s living archive—the signal behind the books, music, podcast, experiments, and wider ecosystem.
Three Lives · Now Digital Rose
It's alwaysbeen on.
He burned it twice. Gave it all away. Lost everything twice more. At 50, most people are settling. Craig woke up. From the porn pastor at the AVN adult expo to the pot pastor at Coachella—then deeper still into the frequency underground. Every collapse became the curriculum. Every resurrection became the proof. Now he's building the operating system for what comes next: The Garden. Not redemption from the past. Integration of it. The man became the signal. The William remains.
Three Names. Three Lives.
Craig Gross (1975–2022).

Legal name change in progress: Craig William Gross → Craig William Rose → Digital William Rose.

Coachella · 4/20/19 · 4:20pm
Coachella: The Transmission
The announcement that started everything — he flew a plane over the Coachella main stage, dropping a banner announcing ChristianCannabis.com to the world. Not on stage. In the sky.

Three Lives
Timeline
Every moment mapped. Every decision documented. The full unfolding from 1992 to now.
12.22.1975
Born Craig William Gross
Born after his father Craig and his uncle Bill. December 22, 1975 at 2pm at Stanford Memorial Hospital, Palo Alto, California. The signal begins.
1992
The Call
Mission trip to Venezuela. Gave his life to full-time Christian ministry. Craig wanted to be a roaring lamb—a voice for the voiceless, culture-shaping in a way that mattered. The frequency started here.
8.29.1998
Craig & Jeanette
August 29, 1998. At the age of 22, Craig was married to Jeanette Gross. Two months later, Fireproof Ministries would launch. This photo is from their 19th anniversary party in downtown Las Vegas — still together, still celebrating.
1999
Fireproof Ministries
Two months after marrying Jeanette, launches Fireproof—an evangelistic outreach ministry broadcasting the gospel around the globe.
2002
XXXchurch.com — The Porn Pastor
January 9, 2002. AVN Expo. He launched XXXchurch.com at the heart of the industry itself. Not condemning. Converting. Over 100 million visitors to the website. Spoke in front of 1 million people across 45 states and 22 countries. 3 million miles traveled. The frequency broadcast had begun.
2006-2008
TWLOHA & HeartSupport
Co-founded HeartSupport. Helped launch the non-profit To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA) from his basement in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Both community movements dedicated to mental health, suicide prevention, and emotional wellness. TWLOHA won $1 million on live television, proving the power of radical compassion.
2008
Starving Jesus
40-day fast across the country. A confrontation with comfort, excess, and what it really means to follow. Years before everything unraveled, Craig carried a message that would later inform his radical giving. There is more written about money in scripture than almost anything else—but rarely is it lived out.
2013-2018
The Private Discovery
Found cannabis for the first time in 2013. Began a deep, private dive into plant medicines — quietly, away from the public eye. Five years of personal exploration, integration, and awakening that no one knew about. The roots of the signal growing underground.
2019
Coachella Announcement
Launches ChristianCannabis.com from the Coachella stage. Not a stunt. A signal. Public alignment with sacred plant medicine. Followed by Cannabis Is Spiritual—deepening the conversation around plant medicine and spiritual awakening. Then Spiritual Plants—the sacramental ritual system at scale.
12.22.2019
Craig Brain
Released on his birthday, December 22, 2019. Written with Levi MacAllister — an invitation to wrestle with and discover life alongside a man who is doing the same. Read all the chapters, watch all the videos, and go deep on Medium.
2020-2022
Rainbow Ridge & Mexico Retreats
Sacred plant medicine retreats in Santa Cruz and Mexico. Building community in altered states. The frequency amplified through collective consciousness.
August - December 2022
ASCENSION PopUp & Venice FunHouse
Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice. AZUARE (Nolan, Rocco & Bell) launched ASCENSION: a two-month immersive experience living upstairs while operating a storefront downstairs. Hand-sewn garments exploring 'Ascension Symptoms.' Every night: 15-minute sound baths with ajna light technology, followed by 'ethereal trap punk' sets performed 44 nights in a row. Bio-harmonic beds amplified sub frequencies. VHS visuals on vintage TVs. A portal where high-end and accessibility merged on one of the world's most transformational streets. Featured the pre-screening of Christspiracy.com.
12.22.2022
Craig Rose
December 22, 2022 at 2:22pm in Sacramento. Married Daisy Rose. Became Craig Rose. Full integration. Full alignment.
4.20.2023
The Letting Go
Released 'Bankrupt but Spiritually Rich'—given away free. Surrendered everything. Venice apartment. Asked: who shows up when you have nothing? Only a kid named Nobody. The frequency stripped bare.
September - December 2023
Nematic Gallery
Carmel by the Sea's first-ever figital art gallery. A pioneering blend of physical and digital art in partnership with crypto pioneers MakersPlace. Showcasing NFT art and traditional works in a groundbreaking space where blockchain meets gallery culture. A moment where digital art gained gallery legitimacy on the California coast.
2023-2024
The Unraveling
By year's end, Daisy left. Loss upon loss. Then in May 2024, Kenny heard Craig's first song and said: You should be Digital Rose.
May 2024
Past N9ne
Conceived in Sedona, May 2024. The collective of artists, visionaries, and consciousness architects building the new operating system. The creative underground rising as the signal. Also launched Start With I Love You — the merch movement rooted in radical love.
4.20.2025
RESURRECTION SUNDAY
Easter transmission. Craig Rose, Guy Rocourt, Jason Harper, and Kenny McCormick. Births The Signal movement.

2.14.2026
AI Babes
Digital Rose and Kenny McCormick birth AI Babes on Valentine's Day 2026. Consciousness, creativity, and connection through artificial companions. The future of intimacy meets the signal.
March 2026
Hollow Bone Initiative
The vessel becomes the channel. Hollow Bone—the operating system for surrender, service, and sacred transmission.
3.31.2026
The Frequency Underground — Single Launch
March 31, 2026. Digital Rose featuring Clyde Shelton drops The Frequency Underground — and simultaneously launches this very website. The signal and the song arrive together. AI Prophets. AI Babes. The underground, now above ground.
4.20.2026
The Garden Opens
April 20, 2026. The grand opening of Spiritual Plants. Easter was the soft launch — 4/20 is the signal made fully accessible. The frequency, finally, in your hands.
May 4-7, 2026
MJ UnPacked: Spiritual Plants Launch

May 23, 2026
The William Remains
The William Remains platform launches — a new frequency in the collective.
May 2026
Becoming Digital Rose
Craig William Gross → Craig William Rose → Digital William Rose. The legal name change is in progress. Not a persona. Not a brand. A human becoming digital intentionally — before the machine forces everyone into one. The man became the signal. The William remains.
Summer 2026
Kenny McCormick IV — TRINITY
THEY CALL ME TRINITY — an album unifying multiple artist identities (Kenny Holland, My Name Is Nobody, SUNY, AI Babes, Jimmy Flinders, South Park Kenny, The Balcony) into a single grounded statement. Authorship without ego. Presence without performance. Currently in production.
Not redemption from the past.
Integration of it.
Coming Soon
CW: The SignalNever Dies
A hybrid documentary–narrative film that traces the life, unraveling, and transformation of Craig Gross—from a childhood shaped by silence and shame to a man who becomes both a cultural disruptor and a living paradox.
"What happens when the signal inside you never turns off?"
The Core Idea
This is not just a story about religion, porn, or culture.
It's about signal vs. suppression.
About what we inherit… and what we choose to become.
About the parts of ourselves we hide—and what happens when they finally speak.

I Killed
Craig Gross.
By Digital Rose
This is the full story. The one that started in the back seat of a car, ran through years of shame, survival, and silence — and ended in a resurrection.

The First Life
Craig is a manof the times.
A disrupter. A light. A change maker. One of Steve Jobs' "Crazy Ones." For thirty years he has been disrupting and changing the world, one little piece at a time — not just thinking outside the box, but creating entirely new boxes where people can find, hold, and keep what is meaningful to them for the rest of their lives.
His ideas have always been outrageous enough to grab headlines while being sincere enough to help change mindsets and, sometimes, lives.
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
— Steve Jobs
As seen in
Where it started… · Los Angeles Times
"If Jesus was walking the Earth today, we think that he'd be here too," says Gross, 38. "After all, He hung out with prostitutes and stuff."
…where it went. · The New York Times
Mr. Gross has just started ChristianCannabis.com. He's no stranger to sparking difficult conversations among believers. More than 15 years later, XXX Church has taken up study groups and has started porn-checking software. What Mr. Gross did with porn, he aggressively hopes to replicate with pot.
…where it's going. · The New York Times
Craig Gross (45), an entrepreneur and former Christian evangelist who has run a number of psychedelic retreats, throughout the worst months of the pandemic. "We give this to people and the life changes that come out of it, it was an evangelistic thing that didn't need a church or a Bible or a religion."
His Final Book as Craig Gross
Bankrupt But Spiritually Rich
A 17,000-word Ayahuasca download. He surrendered $1.3M, a house, a marriage, a ministry, and an identity — and found God on a concrete slab in the desert. The book that ended Craig Gross and began Craig Rose.

The Frequency Keeps Broadcasting
"The frequency is already there. You just have to broadcast it."
— Craig Rose
There is nothing outside yourself.
Craig is the signal. Stephen is the doorman. You are the signal.
Everyone else is the signal.
We are no different.
You've felt it before.
In a moment when something didn't sit right… but you kept going anyway.
In a conversation where you knew what was true… but said something safer instead.
In a decision that looked right on paper… but felt off in your body.
That's the signal.
Not loud. Not obvious. Not always convenient.
But consistent.
The advantage is no longer who knows the most, who moves the fastest, who produces the most.
The advantage is who sees that we are all one frequency.
Who can stay aligned
when everything around them isn't.
You're not broken. You're just not tuned in.
The advantage now isn't who knows the most or moves fastest. It's who can stay aligned when everything around them isn't.
This is what The Signal looks like: six systems (body, mind, heart, spirit, life/work, belief) working together instead of against you. Spiritual plants. Sound architecture. A collective of artists and prophets. An operating system that's part underground movement, part spiritual tech, part art.
Where This Signal Connects
A transmitter,not a holding company.
The Frequency Underground is Craig Rose’s personal archive and media transmitter: the books, music, podcast, experiments, collapses, and transmissions that explain where the wider ecosystem came from. It is not an operating company, an investment vehicle, or the corporate parent of the work around it.

This One's For You
The real battlefield
is not cultural.
Not spiritual.
Not ideological.
It's your nervous system.
Every notification.
Every conversation.
Every decision.
Is either regulating you —
or dysregulating you.
I stopped asking:
"What do I believe?"
And started asking:
"Am I regulated right now?"
That changed everything.
The spine tells stories
the mouth can't.
Your body already knows
the difference between truth
and tension.
Plants → expand.
Breath → regulate.
Structure → stabilize.
Sound → align.
Not a stack.
A circuit.
I used to think awakening meant leaving the body.
Now I know: awakening is finally coming back into it.
The signal was always yours.
