Vision 2036
While I have not personally experienced these thoughts, I have long felt an unexplainable connection with men who experience suicidal ideation. As the years have progressed and I have walked more closely with those carrying deep grief, despair, and hopelessness, I have continually encountered a pattern that is difficult to ignore. In the midst of that journey, I came across a statistic that men account for approximately 80% of all deaths by suicide in the United States, and I knew in that moment this was the Lord bringing clarity to a calling He had already been forming in my life.
Vision 2036 is the outworking of that calling. Rather than duplicating the direct service work already being done, my goal with Vision 2036 is to use the unique blend of my marketing and social work background to build a community-based care network that promotes a connected "circle" that links men to trusted relationships, Christ-centered communities, and practical pathways of care when they feel they have nowhere else to turn. This network is intended to serve as a bridge between isolation and belonging, ensuring that no man has to navigate despair alone and that help is not only available, but relationally accessible.
At its core, Vision 2036 carries a purposeful hope that reminds every man he is more valuable than he realizes. It seeks to restore identity, meaning, and direction by pointing men to lasting hope through eternal life in Christ, grounding them in the truth of Scripture, and strengthening them through authentic brotherhood in community.
As men are restored in these foundations, they are equipped to live with clarity and responsibility as providers, protectors, and servant leaders within their families, workplaces, churches, and communities—moving from survival to purpose, and from despair to hope.
MISSION
To cultivate and coordinate a Christ-centered circle of connection that links men to trusted relationships, supportive communities, and pathways of care that foster physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
VISION
A movement where men experience lasting freedom, restored purpose, and unshakable hope through an identity rooted in Jesus Christ, strengthened through authentic brotherhood, and sustained within connected communities of care that remind them they are deeply valued and never alone.
While it is my intention to maintain a grassroots-style collaboration beyond 2036 in my individual capacity, it is my prayer that this movement yields a formally organized effort by the year 2036, to establish a microvillage—a safe, temporary refuge where men can step out of crisis environments and engage in Christ-centered healing for mind, body, and soul through community, support, and restoration.
