Welcome to The Movement
For the past several years, I’ve been writing, speaking, and creating resources to help men build stronger friendships. Much of that work began at my original website, designed to help men connect through faith-centered relationships and shared spiritual growth.
Along the way, I discovered something important: the need for meaningful male friendship is universal.
Men everywhere are facing the same challenges. Regardless of their background, belief or unbelief, or involvement with a church, temple, or synagogue, all guys face the same challenges. We are more connected through technology than ever before, yet many of us feel isolated, disconnected, and alone. We have numerous acquaintances, coworkers, and social media contacts, but too few trusted friends who truly know us well.
That’s why I created this new content channel: Get Out of Your Man Cave.
What You Will Find Here
This new content is designed to reach an even broader audience of guys, regardless of your religious tradition, faith, worldview, or political affiliation. The need for better male friends and better men exists in our neighborhoods, in the cities and rural areas, in our schools, and in our workplaces.
This site is dedicated to helping build deeper, more authentic friendships wherever you are on life’s journey. Through practical ideas, personal stories, and proven strategies, it will help you understand why male friendships matter so much.
Here, you will discover your personal “man cave,” the internal mindset or external space where you retreat whenever you are stressed or overwhelmed. It will identify the costs of that isolation and the immature “boyish” behaviors that come from spending too much time in your cave. It will then help you develop a circle of trusted friends for all the challenges ahead of you in life.
My writing at my faith-based site will continue, but my focus remains simple: to help men find better connection and genuine brotherhood so we can build up the next generation of mature and responsible men.

Also available is my first book, Get Out of Your Man Cave: The Crisis of Male Friendship and How to Turn Good Friends into GodBuddies. Written as part memoir, part confessional, and part devotional, this book describes my struggle with workaholism that teetered on depression that steered me into my church’s men’s group. It’s a practical handbook with valuable information about the issues men have making and keeping friends. It also includes personal reflection prompts and group discussion questions to help you develop deeper, more authentic friendships with other guys.
Both are available on this website or on Amazon.
