Todd's Journey

My life journey is probably not much different from yours. I’ve experienced the wonders of childhood, the powerful lessons of youth, and life-changing moments that have shaped my path.

As a teenager, I accepted Christ as my Savior and felt a deep calling on my life. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of participating in ministry at many levels, walking alongside people in their faith journeys and other’s walking beside mine. 

As a parent, husband, friend, and businessman, I’ve witnessed God’s miracles—sometimes in abundance. Yet, I have also faced failures and unexpected hardships, learning through my imperfection and sin. Embracing Romans 8:28, I have come to see life as a story, buoyed by God’s grace, and embracing the series of ups and downs it yields, ironically and uniquely preparing me for my calling as a men’s missionary.

Through God’s acceptance, redemption, restoration, and healing, He has aligned my passion for connecting people, with His purpose—thus the birth of ManJourney.

It’s important to define that ManJourney is not a building, a church, a club, or a business. There’s nothing to monetize or grow for personal gain. But there is profit—and that profit is you. It’s a Christ-centered idealism created to find value in connecting, loving and serving people right where they are, from right where we are! Uniting us together, to collaborate, serve, invest, encourage, and inspire one another —simply because we are all better together, and realizing we are each on our own unique journey. 

Being transparent, stepping into the role of a self-funded, home-based missionary can feel overwhelming. Yet, it’s a good overwhelming, because it requires full reliance on Him. The bigger the dreams, the more intentional, the deeper the need for Him. Hence, our ministry verse: John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.”

My prayer is that every person, organization, group, and ministry I encounter and connect with, feels encouraged, loved, and blessed, and, is pointed towards Christ. I pray that through my life, others will see a life well-lived and recognize the value of their own journey through God's unfiltered Grace.

Onward!    Todd
