THE STAND UP AND LEAD PROJECT was launched on July 4, 2020, to encourage and equip men of all ages to become the leaders that our culture desperately needs.
2020 has brought an avalanche of challenges that are even now in the process of stripping away our veneer of civilization, exposing a deep rot that has left many of us weak, confused, and dependent. Harsh realities and difficult choices that have been avoided for generations are no longer avoidable as systems of law, education, economics, and justice crumble around us. But alongside these great challenges are even greater opportunities.
Our mission is to help men seize those opportunities so that they might become the leaders that we need in our families, businesses, churches, and civil government. Together we can build a culture in which true liberty, freedom, and prosperity are the norm, but only if we first build the appreciation for true adulthood, responsibility, and self-sacrifice that makes each of those beautiful things possible.
With a focus on individual responsibility (beginning with ourselves), local solutions, and informed optimism, STAND UP AND LEAD hopes to inspire, educate, and equip others as we all learn and grow together during this amazing time of challenge and opportunity.
