OUR MISSION

Strapped exists to serve athletes and their families – planting seeds of faith through content and showing up in the trenches of life to walk alongside men, living out faith first and trusting Jesus to do the work.

OUR VISION

We are building content that glorifies Jesus and carries the truth through powerful stories, real conversations, and a process of going from lacking to rooted. Every episode, every post, every piece of content exists to plant seeds of grace, mercy, and forgiveness, call men out of the world and into the light of Jesus Christ, and arm them with the Word of God so they are prepared to meet Him face to face. That is what goes out to the masses. That is the entry point.

The real work happens in person. On a ruck or a run. Over coffee and an open Bible. In the back corner of a locker room. Shoulder to shoulder in the early morning before the world wakes up. One-on-one. Small groups. In the trenches of real life where faith is either lived or it isn’t. No judgment. No condemnation. Just men dusting each other off, picking each other up, and getting back in the fight – with grace for ourselves, forgiveness for others, and full obedience to Jesus Christ.

We are also building toward a permanent home. The farm is becoming the headquarters of this ministry – a place where men come to train, worship, and do life together in the presence of Jesus and the beauty of creation. A gym. A swimming pond for fellowship and baptisms. Healing and prayer gardens. Fire pits. Running trails. Sauna and cold tubs. Monthly church services and family days. Whatever Jesus blesses this land with, we will offer. The goal is simple – get men out of the noise, into nature, into community, and into the presence of Christ.

This ministry exists because we all need it. None of us have it figured out. We show up, we pursue Jesus together, and we trust Him to do the work.

OUR OUR PROCESS

Lacking → Armed → Equipped & Prepared → Rooted & Secured

In the fall of 2024, I was sitting in a hospital room with my son not knowing if he was going to lose his leg. In the middle of that fear, someone noticed the Strapped shirt I was wearing and told me how much they loved the message. I went back to the room and did something I didn’t expect – I googled the word strapped. What came back stopped me cold. Four definitions. Lacking. Armed. Equipped and Prepared. Rooted and Secured. In one of the scariest moments of my life, sitting in that hospital room with a peace that I can only describe as the presence of Jesus, I found the entire framework for what this ministry was meant to be. It wasn’t a brand. It was a process. The same process every one of us is already on – whether we know it or not.

Lacking

We all fall short. Every one of us has areas in our life where we are lacking – in faith, in discipline, in identity, and in how we’re living. This is where the process starts. Not with pretending, not with performance, but with honesty. Recognizing the need for Jesus is the beginning of everything.

Armed

We become armed through the Word of God – the Sword of the Spirit. This is our truth, our foundation, and our weapon against sin, distraction, and the lies of the world. We don’t fight with opinions; we fight with truth. God’s Word is how we begin to change how we think, how we live, and how we respond.

Equipped & Prepared

We don’t do this alone. We are equipped through brotherhood, accountability, and daily discipline. We prepare ourselves by showing up – in prayer, in the Word, in community, and in how we take care of ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. We’re not guessing our way through life – we’re training for it.

Rooted & Secured

This is the goal – to be rooted in Christ and secured in His promise. Not shaken by the world, not controlled by sin, but grounded in faith and confident in where we stand with God. This doesn’t mean we’re perfect – it means we are surrendered, growing, and walking toward eternity with Jesus.
