The Establishment of The Outpost

After months of quiet work, long nights, early mornings, prayer, and refining the vision, we’re honored to open the gates to The Outpost.


This is not a brand launch in the traditional sense.

It is the establishment of a stronghold.


For months, the three of us gathered regularly to speak honestly about the state of modern masculinity. We spoke of faith, responsibility, passivity, and the quiet erosion happening in plain sight. Again and again, our conversations reached the same breaking point. Frustration without action. Conviction without movement.


That moment marked a turning. We understood that if we longed to see a generational shift, it would not begin with quiet commentary, but with commitment. So we stopped circling the problem and began taking responsibility. We began to envision something different. A culture, a Church, families and marriages led by men who are present, initiated, grounded, and faithfully engaged. Men who do not outsource their formation. Men who abide.


The Outpost was born out of a growing conviction. Modern men are not weak because they lack information, but because they lack formation and initiation. Most men carry wounds they were never taught how to face, name, or rightly heal. All men feel an ache yet few seem to know how to properly identify it. We live in a time of noise, performance, and distraction, where men are told to either dominate or disengage, perform or disappear. Few places remain where men are called to abide, to shoulder responsibility, and to walk faithfully with Christ over the long haul.


The Outpost exists to be that place. That stronghold.


From the beginning, God has entrusted men with responsibility, not as tyrants, but as servant-kings. Men were designed to cultivate, guard, lead, and remain faithful under weight. Yet today, many have retreated. Not always outwardly, but inwardly. Abdication often looks like busyness, isolation, or passive consumption. It looks like men surviving instead of standing watch. It looks like wounded and stressed out guys who feel isolated and alone.


The Outpost is not a retreat from the world into that same place.

It is a refueling station for those who choose responsibility.


Historically, an outpost served men on the frontier. It was a place to step off the long and difficult path. A place to rest briefly, resupply wisely, and return to the wilderness steady and resolved. Spiritually, this is what we are rebuilding here. A gathering place for men who refuse to drift, who know they need brothers, wisdom from sages, truth, and Scripture to endure.


Here, wandering cowboys sit with storied sages.

Here, bravado and ego are left outside.

Here, questions are welcomed, not shamed.

Here, wisdom is passed down, not left in dust.

Here, men are reminded who they were designed to be, and Who they belong to.


The Outpost is a stronghold. Its aim is deeply human and deeply spiritual. Through shared truth, unscripted conversation, Scripture, and brotherhood, we are forging a community of men who pursue Christ, sharpen one another, and take up their mantle in their homes, churches, and communities.


This is not about hype, hustle, or building platforms.


It is about depth, faithfulness, and staying rooted.


We believe that abiding is not passive. It is how men hold the line. When men abide in Christ, they lead with clarity. When they are sharpened in brotherhood, they stand firm. When they refuse abdication, generations are changed.


What begins with a few men gathering around truth can spread.


The gates to The Outpost are now open.


If you are weary, but willing.

If you feel the weight, and refuse to drop it.

If you know you were made for more than isolation, distraction, or half-hearted faith.


Pull up a seat.

Resupply what’s been depleted.

Stay rooted.


Welcome to The Outpost.

Gather. Supply. Abide.

I love your hearts. You’re in it to give away and not to receive. Would love to get something started in Denver.

This is wonderful! Teaching the next generation that we must do everything in community will save lives, marriages, and guide men to walk with God rather than bucking up on their own understanding.
