Straight answers. If something isn't covered here, reach out — the first conversation is always free.
No. Men from any background are welcome here. I will not try to convert you or push faith on you — that's not my job and it's not how I operate.
What I will do is speak from what I know. Faith is not a side element of my coaching — it's the foundation of everything I do and everything I teach. It will come up. It's part of my reality and I won't pretend otherwise. If you can engage with that honestly, even if you're skeptical, you'll get everything this program has to offer.
For the pastors and church leaders reading this — my purpose is not to evangelize the already evangelized. It is to build the Church. I come alongside you without an agenda and without any interest in telling you what you already know.
Come honestly. That's the only requirement.
I get it — money is a real thing. But here's the question I'd ask you first: if money wasn't a factor, is this something you'd want to do?
If the answer is yes, book a call and we can talk it out. The first conversation is free, there's no pressure, and we'll figure out what makes sense from there.
The Gardener and Warrior program is the curriculum — a structured 12-week guide you work through at your own pace, with weekly teachings, virtue practices, reflection questions, and community prompts built in. It's designed to be done with a group of men, but you set the timeline.
1-on-1 coaching is live accountability. It's you and me, working through whatever you're facing — fitness, habits, faith, life decisions — with regular check-ins, direct feedback, and someone who actually knows where you are and where you're trying to go.
They work well together. A lot of men start with the program or Stage One, and then come into coaching when they want someone in their corner for the long haul.
My 1-on-1 coaching is for men. That's not a slight — it's a focus. The program, the methodology, and the way I coach are built specifically around the challenges men face, and I believe men do better work in spaces designed for them.
That said — good men's coaching is profoundly beneficial to the women in their lives. I have had wives interrupt our calls to thank me personally for helping their husbands become the man they see in them. When a man gets his Faith, his Habits, and his Fitness right, it doesn't stay contained to him. It compounds into his marriage, his family, his community. That's the goal.
For group settings — church workshops, men's and women's ministry events — I am available to teach in mixed or women's contexts. If you're a pastor or ministry leader looking for that kind of engagement, reach out and we can talk about what that looks like.
The best first step is to start somewhere — and there are two free options that cost you nothing but a few minutes.
Take the Temple Assessment. It's a short self-assessment across Faith, Habits, and Fitness that shows you exactly where you are and where to focus first. Most men are surprised by what they find. It takes less than five minutes.
Get Stage One of the Gardener and Warrior program. It's the first four weeks of the full program, free with your email. If it produces something real in you — the rest of the program and coaching are waiting.
If you already know you want to talk, skip straight to the free 15-minute call. No pitch, no pressure — just a conversation.
All the strongest men I know have a coach. All the best coaches I know have a coach. I have a coach. That's not a coincidence — it's a pattern.
A coach sees what you can't see about yourself. He holds you to a standard when your motivation fades. He brings outside perspective to problems you've been too close to for too long. And he accelerates your growth by helping you avoid the mistakes he's already made or watched others make.
The question isn't really "why hire a coach?" The real question is: if you take your calling seriously enough to invest in it, what's the cost of not having one? Mitch didn't hire a coach because things were going great. He hired one because he'd been stuck — and in three months, everything changed.
The first conversation is free. You have nothing to lose by finding out if this is the right fit.
Most coaching picks a lane — fitness, or mindset, or faith, or life coaching. RDP Coaching doesn't compartmentalize because you don't. Your faith affects your habits. Your habits affect your fitness. Your fitness affects your marriage, your work, your family. All of it is connected.
The framework here is Faith, Habits, and Fitness — integrated, not siloed. Grounded in Scripture. Built on eight years of teaching, a Marine Corps background, and my own experience going from injury to 42 miles in eight months, from personal wreckage to clarity of calling.
Beyond the framework — this is relational coaching. I know you. You know me. That's not something you get from a program someone built once and sells to everyone.
No. That's the wrong starting line entirely.
I meet you where you are — not where you think you should be. If you were already in great shape with your habits dialed in and your faith integrated, you probably wouldn't be looking for a coach. Most men who reach out are starting from somewhere they're not proud of. That's exactly the right place to start.
The only requirement is that you show up honestly. The rest we build together from there.
Not at all. Virtual coaching works exactly the same way — same accountability, same check-ins, same results. The relationship is what matters, not the geography.
1-on-1 and group coaching are both available virtually, nationwide. Church workshops are available in-person anywhere with travel expenses covered by the hosting church, or virtually for any church anywhere. If you're local to Arkansas, in-person sessions are available. But distance has never been a reason not to start.
That's a fair question and it deserves an honest answer.
A lot of coaching fails for a few reasons. Most programs have a limited scope — they address one dimension of a man's life while the others stay broken. They also tend to set the bar too high too fast, which creates an early win or an early failure with no middle ground. And many rely on challenges and motivation to spark action, rather than doing the deeper internal work that produces real, lasting change.
I'll also say something most coaches won't: there are coaches out there who are in it for the money, selling a program they built once that isn't really about you at all. They exist. I don't think they're the majority, but it wouldn't be honest not to acknowledge it. If that's been your experience, I understand the skepticism.
What I've learned — in my own experience hiring coaches — is that real coaching is relational. You know the coach and the coach knows you. Not a program. Not a system. A person who is invested in where you specifically are going. That's what this is. And if it turns out we're not the right fit, I'll tell you.
Honestly — it varies. And I'd rather be straight with you than promise something that depends entirely on what you bring to it.
Radical change in three months is possible. I've seen it. Mitch came to me and within three months called hiring a coach the best decision he'd ever made — and that compound into his marriage, his faith, his business, and his family. But Mitch showed up. He was all in. He did the work honestly.
The work is yours. The results are yours. I'll help — consistently, honestly, and without giving up on you. But I can't do it for you.
Here's what I've found to be true: most of us overestimate what we can do in a month, and dramatically underestimate what we can do in a year of consistency. My coaching goals aren't radical transformation in 30 days. They're a life lived worthy of your calling in Christ — for yourself, for your family, and for your community. That kind of life is built over time, not overnight. And it's worth every day of the work it takes.
