ABOUT
Courageous Christianity is a ministry devoted to next-generation Christian leadership. Led by a retired Marine Corps Colonel and an ICF Certified and Christian Coach, the team is comprised of warriors focused on one mission; the Truth of Jesus Christ lived out courageously in the lives of men and women.
We envision a time when families will be restored to what God planned – a time when men, as the cornerstone of a strong marriage and family, lead their family, standing firm at the intersection of their faith in the love and truth of Jesus Christ. We envision wives taking their place as the helper God designed them to be. And we envision children flourishing as they become the next generation of Christian leadership of spiritually thriving men who they, themselves, are better husbands and fathers.
We believe we are all leaders. We are leaders at home, at work, and in our social lives. When we don’t lead, when we don’t live out God’s values and priorities, and when we don’t set an example for the people around us, we create a leadership vacuum that pulls in all manner of worldly confusion and manipulation. We see it all around us. People have lost their bearings for want of a faith-based compass, trustworthy and unchanging. People are seeking answers to life’s questions.
We believe the answer to these questions, the answer at home as husbands and fathers, is a deeper understanding of our faith and confidence as we bring that transformational love to bear on the world around us. That deeper understanding starts with men. Courageous Christianity exists to help men find the answers they seek in Jesus Christ, to learn how to live by God’s Word, and apply it in their everyday lives.

WHAT WE DO
We help men to understand who they are and how God sees them, apart from the confines of religious practice. We help them identify their gifts and Kingdom purpose. We help them to understand and to live out their values as disciples of the godly transformation available to all of us in Jesus Christ. We help them learn how to lead in their family, in their churches, and in their organizations.
We look at the spiritual battlefield as it is, we assess the strengths and weaknesses of current faith-based efforts, and we empower change based on scripture. We are donor-driven and as such we don’t have to adjust our message. We speak and teach God’s Truth.
Our goal is to empower next generation Christian leaders to effect spiritual, personal, political, economic, educational, and social change. We focus on three key areas:
- Context in Biblical Truth and understanding of the spiritual battlefield
- Teaching and mentorship in proven leadership and human factors principles
- Commitment to continued support to a community of individuals, churches and other organizations.
We must teach, train, and equip for our vision to be realized. We do that through specialized programs only made possible by donor support.
- A radio teaching ministry that delivers God’s Word to listeners. In its fourth year, we need financial support to continue and reach more listeners.
- A one-day Courageous Christianity Bootcamp designed to help men identify their values and spiritual gifts and understand who they are as a leader. We teach them how to establish goals for themselves and their families, and live and lead by God’s Word, ultimately to build a stronger Christ-centered family unit. Group coaching and mentorship follows. Funding will facilitate teaching men who truly want to lead as God calls.
- Increased production of Biblical teaching and discipleship resources that further equip Christian warriors and next generation Christian leaders.
RADIO TEACHING MINISTRY
