Prepared in Spirit. Ready in Strength.
What does it mean to be a man of God in an increasingly dangerous world?
Can you bear a cross with one hand—and be ready to defend your home with the other?
Sell Your Cloak is not a call to violence. It’s a call to readiness. A challenge to Christian men to lay down passivity, reject cultural confusion about masculinity, and take up the biblical mantle of protector, provider, and spiritual leader.
Rooted in Luke 22:36 and forged in the balance between faith and responsibility, this book explores:
Why the gospel calls us to both meekness and courage
How to cultivate spiritual discipline alongside practical preparedness
The weapons every man should own—and how to train with them wisely
How to be a peace-seeker without becoming a pushover
The danger of delighting in violence—and the failure of fearing it
Why salvation is your first and only foundation for any kind of real preparedness
Written by a man who applies the concepts of the book to his own life, this is not a book of theory—it’s a real-world charge. A call to rise—not as a brute, not as a keyboard warrior—but as a servant-hearted, battle-ready follower of Christ.
If you’re looking for a tool to enrich the road to biblical masculinity that doesn’t shy away from reality—or the cross—this is just such a book.
Selling a cloak of my own
Towards the end of 2020, something happened in my life that made me stop and
seriously re-evaluate what I believed about responsibility, preparedness, and whether or
not I fell into those categories as I should.
Since then, many have walked alongside me—some by offering wisdom, others through
mentorship, and some just by pointing me to the right resources when I needed them.
I’m grateful for every one of them.
Around 2023, I started keeping a list. A growing list of “Boy, I wish I had…” and
“Man, I’m glad I learned that.” Things I got wrong. Things I got right. Lessons I learned the
hard way. Lessons I wish I had grasped sooner.
I didn’t know what to do with it all.
Should I launch a personal podcast? Start some kind of training program? Start a YouTube channel?
But every idea fell flat—not because they weren’t good ideas, but because none of them
captured the heart of what I wanted to say. Podcast - limited reach. Training program - I
wasn’t and still am not qualified. YouTube channel? Ok, but how to create an audience to
reach? Honestly, I wrestled with whether this was just about scratching some itch for
personal accomplishment. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t.
I wasn’t chasing a platform.
I was being pulled by a burden.
I’ve compiled those notes, conversations, convictions, failures, and hopes into one place.
What emerged is Sell Your Cloak—a book I’m proud to share with you.
This isn’t just a book about guns, gear, or training. Sure, those things are in there—but
that’s not the heartbeat.
This is a plea to men:
To BE men—but more importantly, to be the men GOD created us to be.
Sell Your Cloak isn’t a training manual. It’s a mirror.
It’s a series of honest questions and real-life challenges that I had to ask myself and
wrestle through—and still do.
Questions every man should ask.
Truths every man should weigh.
I believe this book is more than a collection of lessons.
I believe it’s a call.
To be more vigilant.
To lead more boldly.
To love more sacrificially.
To fight not just for what we have—but for who we are becoming.
If you decide to pick up a copy, my prayer is that it blesses you, challenges you, and
sharpens you as iron sharpens iron.
