The Mission

It has been my experience that most men have never really sat down and thought through the question, “When did you become a man?” Most men have fallen into manhood rather than intentionally stepping into it; that was what happened to me. I was never taught what it meant to be a man and as a result I made a mess of my life as I stumbled through it and hurting many that I cared for.

However, the unexpected happened and God in His abundant grace saved me in 2007 and He began shaping me into the image of His Son. But, it wasn’t until I was 29 years old that I was confronted with the reality that though I was doing a variety of “manly” things, that didn’t mean that I was a man or knew what it meant to be a man. This all came crashing upon me when my wife became pregnant. I remember sitting in the doctor’s office moments away from finding out the gender of our child and praying silently in my head for a daughter because the prospect of having a son terrified me. It terrified me because for the first moment in my life I realized I knew next to nothing about being a man so how was I supposed to raise one. However, God in His providence decided that this was a prayer request He would not grant me. On October 31, 2013, my son came into the world. Looking back, I now see that was the moment I began this journey of trying to learn what it means to intentionally be a man according to God’s Word. 

Over the last few years, I have found that I am not alone. Men all around the world have similar experiences, fears, concerns, doubts, and questions. The more men I spoke with the more it is becoming clear that Christian men are confused on what biblical manhood is and how to pursue it. That is where this ministry comes into play. It is my prayer and focus to come alongside men and help equip them to engage in the fight of faith. To come alongside men and help equip them to live body and faithfully as men of God.
