In life, nothing worthwhile comes easy. Unfortunately, we fall for the lie that a fulfilling life should be easy or impossible. As a result, we eventually give up and settle for less. On the contrary, we must remain resilient and fight for the things that matter most in this life. These are the traits of a warrior. Anything less is a lie.
If you’re like many other men (and me), you feel most alive when you conquer, overcome, or accomplish the seemingly impossible. We’re hardwired for this, and suppressing or trying to convince ourselves otherwise just kills us inside. Some of us struggle with these feelings, while others go to the other extreme and act irresponsibly.
As a result, many men live unfilled and frustrated lives. Their marriages are crumbling, they feel unproductive at work, their family life is on life-support, their health is declining, and their finances are a wreck. These situations eventually lead men to live with detrimental doubt, fear, guilt, shame, worry, insecurity, and a slew of other paralyzing and destructive thoughts. Unfortunately, men will turn to find fulfillment in material things, distractions, and people. We seek it in cars, money, sports, entertainment, women, etc.
Yet, nothing seems to work, and it feels like you’re drowning in an open, raging sea with no help in sight. The problem is that we no longer know what it means to be a man, a godly man. However, there is hope. You need to stop settling for less and tap into the warrior within. You must live according to your true identity in Christ. This is the only way to live victoriously over the battles you face. I know because I was once there too!
I seemed to have everything I’d worked so hard for earlier in my life. Everything I’d dreamed of when younger was finally coming true. I was my own man, doing life on my terms. No one could tell me what to do anymore. So I used my independence to pursue success as I defined it. Success meant having my own business, a beautiful woman by my side, and lots of money, prestige, peer recognition, and status.
In the years that followed, I still didn’t feel complete despite having it all. Every time I reached a goal, I still wanted more. My desire was insatiable. More power, pleasure, possessions, praise…more, more, more.
One day I faced up to the fact that although I had more than enough, it wasn’t fulfilling. It felt like I’d reached the top of the ladder only to discover I’d climbed the wrong ladder. I felt defeated, lonely, and empty. I questioned what it all was for. I was lost.
However, through extensive studying of the Word, prayer, trials, contemplation, and with the help of godly mentors, I found three biblical tents that changed the trajectory of my life. These three tenets showed me that you and I were made to be warriors for Christ. God decided long ago that you were to be a man—a warrior destined for greatness.
Faith, Fire, Fury—or FX3®—is the approach that changed the trajectory of my life. I overcame many obstacles, roadblocks, and heartaches to discover what it takes to be a man, a warrior for Christ, and now have a calling to share this with other men.
FX3 is the culmination of decades of extensive study, prayer, introspection, experience leading other men, and overcoming trials. FX3 is not only a transformative approach but also a biblically based program and brotherhood. Its purpose is to unite, equip, and help men be devoted warriors for Christ, their loved ones, and others.
FX3 was the way I went from wayward and wrecked to rescued and redeemed by God.
In life, nothing worthwhile comes easy. Unfortunately, we think we can have it all with little to no work. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Lasting change and transformation takes deliberate effort. For this reason, I created the FX3 Challenge. The FX3 Challenge is for men ready to move from complacency to commitment alongside other brothers and the honor of being an FX3 Warrior. Considering manhood is under attack, we need warriors. Warriors that pursue and promote authentic manhood and the good it provides to all.
Becoming an FX3 Warrior requires a shift in mindset and lifestyle. The FX3 Challenge is a 12-week, highly interactive program consisting of three distinct phases or modules that provides this life transformation.
