I grew up on a family farm where hard work was expected, but affirmation was absent. The abuse I experienced left deep wounds of fear, guilt, shame, and the belief that I would never be enough. The pain followed me into adulthood and became destructive patterns that hurt my life and my family.
But God met me in the wreckage. He pulled me out of the lies that defined me and showed me I was loved, known, and worth redeeming.
Broken Ground Ministries is the overflow of that redemption. I want to walk with men who feel lost, angry, or ashamed and show them the same grace that saved my life. Read My Story

Our mission is to walk with broken, hurting, and isolated men and lead them back to the healing power of Jesus Christ. Through authentic brotherhood, biblical truth, and practical discipleship, we help men take one more step toward freedom, purpose, and spiritual maturity.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” - Psalm 147:3
We envision a world where no man faces life alone, where men rise as spiritually grounded, emotionally healthy, and courageous leaders. We see a movement of men who embrace accountability, walk in integrity, nurture their families, and boldly impact their communities through the grace and power of Jesus Christ.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” - 2 Corinthians 5:17
