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 ready for that just yet - I still needed (and continue to pursue) training myself. 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.
With the releases of Sell Your Cloak: The Workbook and upcoming release of Sell Your Cloak - Kings & Priests the catalog grows, and the challenge and call expands. The Sell Your Cloak series continues to call me out to answer the way Christ did - poured out, equipped, and ready.
