A Band of Brothers
Our Story
In 2000, I signed my first record deal and thought I was on top of the world â but within 18 months I had a nervous breakdown and ended up in a psychiatric appointment addicted, depressed, alone, and with suicidal thoughts. In the Lord's great mercy, he delivered me and planted me in a community of believers that loved me and helped me begin to live out my faith.Â
It wasnât â7 Easy Steps'; life is hard and faith is messy. I know. Letting go of the lies that have held us hostage and transforming into the man Godâs called us to be is never easy⌠but itâs always worth it. As I began to pursue and integrate the truth of Godâs word into my daily actions, everything changed.Â
In 2007, God used a literal âbandâ of brothers to both set me free and to restore my music career. Itâs been my honor to spend the last 20+ years walking alongside great men of God, on and off the stage, encouraging and training each other to go all-in on Jesus and follow hard after him.
In 2021, Take the Hill was founded out of a deep desire to help develop and multiply that same Christ-centered camaraderie and missional focus for other men, in my own local church, and abroad. We believe everyoneâs welcome, nobodyâs perfect, and with Jesus anything is possible.
Imagine what it would be like if you had brothers like that? Imagine how different your life would be? The kind of man youâd become? Thereâs too much at stake for you to continue to try and fight on your own. We werenât designed to do this alone â you need a band of brothers.Â
So what are you waiting for? Come join us â live on mission, multiply your impact, and create legacy by becoming the man God called you to be. Itâs time to take action. Are you ready?
Stop Trying. Start Training. TAKE THE HILL.

Then Jesus came to them and said, âAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.âÂ
~Matthew 28:18-20

Take the Hill Show & Podcast
Many Christians struggle with their calling because they don't have a plan to put their faith into action on Monday morning and because they decide to pursue it alone. Life is hard and faith is messy. We know. The Take the Hill Show is for men who've decided it's time to stop trying and start training to become the man God's called us to be â faith, business, marriage, and family.
