It’s here. Face the Mountain is now available.

This book has been years in the making—built on lessons of grit, faith, and the power of resilience. It’s not just a story; it’s a call to rise. Whether you’re climbing the mountain of self-doubt, hardship, or uncertainty, this book will remind you: the climb is worth it.

I wrote this for leaders, for believers, for those stuck in the valley. You’ll find stories, insights, and a framework rooted in the Three C’s of Resilience: Competence, Courage, and Compassion. You’ll meet people who faced storms and still stood tall. And you’ll get practical tools for your own journey.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Nelson Mandela: "It always seems impossible until it’s done." That captures the spirit of this book. Mountains aren’t meant to intimidate—they’re meant to shape us.

Call to Action:

Pick up your copy of Face the Mountain. Start your climb. And if it speaks to you, pass it on to someone else facing a mountain of their own.

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go”

What he's saying is spot on.  You can't be yourself and face your challenges until you know yourself.  That's where it starts.  But that's not enough.  He's also saying you can't face the enemy and defeat the enemy without knowing the enemy.  Both are vital.

There are some battles ahead.  Many of them.  But there are some major victories in store.  If you want to experience vi...
