I was born into a life of service and calling—the son of a Christian preacher and a social worker. Guiding others through spiritual, personal, and relational struggles isn’t just something I do; it’s woven into my very DNA.
For years, I’ve worked as a Christian marriage and sex therapist, helping individuals and couples navigate the sacred space of their relational and sexual lives. This work has been deeply fulfilling, and the need for it remains significant.
But over time, I began to notice a pattern. Men were showing up in my office—emotionally distant, empty, and adrift. They were good men, but they were just going through the motions of life—disconnected from any real passion, purpose, or fire.
And this inner void translated into:
❌ Strained marriages
❌ Unfulfilling careers
❌ A struggle with distraction, addiction, and numbing out
At first, it seemed like a relationship problem—a lack of communication, intimacy, or conflict resolution. But it became clear this wasn’t just about skills or techniques. This was a crisis of the masculine soul.
These men weren’t just struggling in relationships; they had lost touch with their very manhood—their drive, their strength, their purpose. And addressing only the surface symptoms without tackling the root issue was like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.
That’s why I’ve committed myself to something bigger than therapy alone. While I continue my work as a marriage and sex therapist, I’ve also chosen to stand in the gap—creating a space for men to reclaim their authentic masculinity. Because this isn’t just about individual men. When men RISE into their strength, it transforms families, churches, and entire communities.
God created both men and women to reflect aspects of His glory—but masculinity isn’t just a generic expression of humanity. It’s something distinct, designed with purpose and power.
Yet, today’s world offers men two extremes:
⚠A culture that labels masculinity as toxic.
⚠ A shallow, watered-down version of manhood that lacks true strength.
But masculinity, as God designed it, is inherently good. It’s not neutered, not neutral, and not something to apologize for. Our very bodies tell the story of generative power and potential. It’s time we remember this story.
Through counseling, writing, and teaching, I’m here to:
✅Challenge men to reject passivity and step into their strength.
✅ Provide a clear framework for reclaiming true masculinity.
✅ Equip husbands and fathers to lead with boldness and love.
✅ Restore the narrative of masculinity as a force for life and goodness.
When men RISE, everyone wins. If you’re ready to step into the man God created you to be, let’s get to work.
