Walk the path of grief with clarity, faith, and strength.
The Beacon Project exists to help men who have suffered loss find hope and joy in Jesus.
No man should navigate loss alone.
Leading a family, a life, a ministry, or even a business is already a lonely path. Add grief on top of that and you’ve got a man on an island that feels impossible to escape, with almost no chance to build his own life raft. For too long, this has been the normal, a trend for men who have suffered, that they endure their suffering silently, painfully, and alone.
This isolated suffering and unprocessed grief leads to increased risk of substance abuse, depression, heart disease, and attempted suicide.
A different path is desperately needed for men to rise out of isolation and into the new chapter of life. An early loss cannot be answered with an early exit. When given the chance, these losses can invite them to explore and find a renewed faith and hope in Jesus along the way.
Our 3 Pillars of Renewal
Clarity
Podcasts, writings, digital content, and more created with the desire to impact men around the world through social media and podcasts.
Community
An online community for men to connect, engage, and encourage one another. Made available for free for any man who is grieving.
Care
The goal is for any member of the Beacon Project to have 4-6 counseling sessions made available for a deeply discounted cost.
A heavy burden made lighter only by Jesus.
Rooted in Biblical truth, practical wisdom, and real-life experience.
The Beacon Project provides the guidance men need to navigate loss with strength and faith, all while finding a renewed sense of belonging, joy, and a stronger faith in Jesus Christ.
How it Works
1 - Join for Free (coming soon)
Joining the Beacon Project is absolutely free. Once you’re in, you’ll get access to our private Slack community, paired into channels with men just like you, and begin forging a new path forward.
2 - Find Strength and Clarity
Through webinars, community events, and counseling, members of The Beacon Project will find a new path forward in life. Holding onto the lessons they’ve learned, embracing their grief, and walking with strength and clarity for the future.
3 - Live in Renewal
A life renewed doesn’t erase what happened. It grows with, around, and because of what’s happened. A renewed life alongside your grief is the path most men yearn to find, and it’s a path members of the Beacon Project will walk on for the rest of their days.
We know you want to be STRONG.
You need a community that understands your grief and can help you walk a clear path to healing. Grief, at its core, can feel isolating, leaving you stuck, uncertain, and alone. No man should have to carry his loss by himself. We know how the weight of what you carry, and we’ve walked this road too, which is why we've built a community of men dedicated to helping you reignite your strength, unlock new clarity, and lean into a new sense of who God has called you to be as you navigate loss.
A note from our founder →
“I needed to feel permission.
Permission to have fun and embrace a new normal without feeling like I forgot who was now gone from our family. Permission to give myself grace as I understood what life looked like with my grief and loss. And ultimately, permission to try again at all of it.
I quickly learned I’m not alone. Any man who is grieving quickly turns to taking care of others (their family, children, spouse, etc.) before himself. It’s in our nature; it’s how we’re designed. At the same time, eventually, our souls will beg to be cared for and we cannot ignore it.
If you’re reading this and you’re like me, then know that there is a place for you here. To adventure, to remember, to be recharged, to embrace, and to renew your spirit in a way that only Christ can accomplish.
Welcome to the Beacon Project, and welcome to the brotherhood.”
