About us and what we do

The Freedom Response

What holds most men back from pursuing their dream, passion and vision are three things: fear, isolation & something haunting us from our past.

This type of bondage keeps us "immature & foolish" compared to what scripture calls for us to be mature and have wisdom as we progress in life.

Stepping out of this type of bondage requires knowledge & understanding that leads to maturity and wisdom over time. These attributes - along with learning to create Union with God - is what we call The Freedom Response.

With coaching & guidance you will be apart of a community, receive discipleship that is not related to any church template (its more organic) and learn how to tell your story that will take you well into the next season of your life's journey.

This is what we believe and why we serve you through a Christ-centered business model of Discipleship, Community and learning to Tell Your Story.

We are not a church, or involved with being an elder or on any mens ministry team - this is a unique model of organic discipleship that focuses on people that want to grow more in their personal relationship with Christ and is non-denominational.

Bring your Bible, something to write with and your personal journal & you are all set.

Discipleship

We want to expand our ability to give our time, energy and resources. When we look at it from this perspective we need to CREATE quality time, energy and resources for ourselves FIRST to then be able to give it to others next. With this belief, we can progress knowing that what we are doing is focused instead of being distracted. We discover that our beliefs, values and attitudes are custom designed & unique to each individual by God for you to lead with - and we do this first by serving you through our events, mentoring and online programs.

This counters a sense of hopelessness, over-whelm, pride and selfishness.

Goal - blessing others as we are blessed beyond anything here on earth is genuinely felt in the heart and spirit. We can give up what we are searching for and become that what God wants us to be and learn to extend that to others is better than money, fame or social media attention.

This is an organic approach to building relationships one person at a time that is not following any religious denominational template.

Community

We need more men of understanding (Proverbs 20:5) in our communities and we do this by developing men to be mentors, coaches and guides under the umbrella of leadership. We build our relationship with Christ for leading ourself first, then we bring this understanding to our families, churches and communities - in that order. This is how you build community by learning how God reforms your own heart/will/spirit first - that impacts all you do that then inspires others to join in -therefore becoming a better leader. We encourage a challenge based lifestyle that requires you to step out of your comfort zone and take faith based risks as we guide you along the way.

This counters isolation, over-thinking and a victim mentality.

Goal - again, we need more men of understanding that are a few steps ahead of you - guiding, leading & pouring into you - so that you do not feel lost, alone or without mentoring as you are tested in the trials of life.

We coined this type of impact: Self-Control Leadership.

Tell Your Story

When we realize that all of what we have, do and serve others with comes from God we can have a sense of gratitude in all that God is and does - knowing that we can not do this on our own, or in our own strength - which means HE gets the glory as life experiences happen that are beyond what we thought was possible and we are able to lead through it.

This counters your ego, arrogance, self-entitlement and not knowing what to say for anyone lost with words in situations that can put you on the spot- you learn to listen, share and tell your story.

Goal - as we surrender our selfish ways and we receive a sense of being grateful in our heart - that we extend to others - is proof of Gods presence in your life and because of his grace, mercy and love coming from him - as it is revealed in all that we do - we realize that it is not from our own strength.

This becomes a way of communicating with others that we need more of in this world. Other people will sense The Holy Spirit working in you.

What's Next? How do I start up?

We start off with some video based content to get you on the same page with where we are going. Once you pick up on what is encouraged we will start to listen to parts of your story - that you share with us - that we can step in and offer guidance.

We suggest that you forget about a current 'outcome' and focus more on the journey of who you are becoming.
Why?
We have learned that the outcome can change, you can loose interest in it or God can change or take away the outcome - what is significant is who you are becoming - more like Christ over an outcome. Process is significant in building your identity, discipline and character.
This teaches you that no matter what happens in the end, you are secure in who you are regardless of what happens.

Unconventional Training

Taking on a Challenge Based Lifestyle incorporates values, beliefs and strategies that go against what you may currently be living from in areas of faith, family, fitness, friendship = what we call your Arena and each area of your Arena has a Gate.

These areas/gates of your life are what we listen for in hearing your current story you tell me - as we have heard many stories that fall short of what you are capable of and we want to then guide you into of what you are designed to be as a man of God.

This will require time, energy and resources on your part and as you do so we also encourage you to train in areas of fitness, wellness & spiritual disciplines. We will suggest a variety of options so that stress, sleep, your nervous system and more are managed with care as you CAN have more energy to expand God's Kingdom.
This is not a diet or a workout plan - and you do not need to be buff - but we do suggest that you challenge yourself with whatever equipment you have available to take care of your temple as we progress in your coaching/training.
