Book

What is Lifting the Weight of Truth about?

This is my story of seeking and embracing foundational Truth. This is a personal journey through early addiction, illness, redemption, and faith—told through the lens of powerlifting and recovery. This book is for anyone pushing hard through life and still coming up short. 

When and where can I get the book?

Lifting the Weight of Truth releases in July 2026 and will be available on Amazon. You can sign up to be notified the moment it drops.

Ministry

Do I have to be a Christian to benefit from your message?

Not at all. I welcome anyone seeking truth, healing, or strength—no matter where you are on your faith journey. This book may be challenging. I pray it's worth your lift. Remember, growth requires training!

How can I request mentorship or connect one-on-one?

You can reach out by the contact form or request a discovery call. Please note that I am not a licensed counselor. I am first and foremost a friend of faith. I offer mentorship on a case-by-case basis.
