About Worshipper & Warrior
Worshipper & Warrior exists to empower men to be wholehearted disciples of Jesus. We equip men to live from their hearts, not just their heads, through being honest about their sin, hurt, and disappointments. The more men live from their Spirit-empowered whole heart, the more they come alive and walk in freedom.
Letter from Pastor Steve
Our Mission
Saint Iraneous said, “The glory of God is a man fully alive.” We believe that we as men were created to be fully immersed in God and fully alive. The mission of Worshipper & Warrior is to challenge and equip men to be wholehearted worshippers of God and fully engaged warriors for the cause of Christ on the earth. Such wholehearted life comes through a lifestyle that is willing to risk being vulnerable with our own hidden darkness, shame, and failings. It is in such honesty that we begin the road to healing and freedom.
The journey of becoming a wholehearted worshipper and warrior will require authenticity, risk, and vulnerability. At Worshipper & Warrior, we believe that this road must be traversed in the company of others. It is in relationship with other mutually vulnerable men, our bloodstained allies, that our heart comes alive with faith and hope. It is in learning to face and be real about the dark places of our heart that we can grow into wholehearted living. This is a dangerous road! But this is the life God created you to experience. Join us at one of our events, start reading our blogs, and learn the way of a worshipper and warrior.

God put the author, David, through his own spiritual boot camp. This psalm speaks of the heart of God in training men to be wholehearted.

Psalm 144
1 Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle—
​
2 My lovingkindness and my fortress,
My high tower and my deliverer,
My shield and the One in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues my people under me.
​
3 Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?
​
4 Man is like a breath;
His days are like a passing shadow.
​
5 Bow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
​
6 Flash forth lightning and scatter them;
Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.
​
7 Stretch out Your hand from above;
Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters,
From the hand of foreigners,
​
8 Whose mouth speaks lying words,And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song to You, O God;
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
​
10 The One who gives salvation to kings,
Who delivers David His servant
From the deadly sword.
​
11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks lying words,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood—
​
12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth;
That our daughters may be as pillars,
Sculptured in palace style;
​
13 That our barns may be full,
Supplying all kinds of produce;
That our sheep may bring forth thousands
And ten thousands in our fields;
​
14 That our oxen may be well laden;
That there be no breaking in or going out;
That there be no outcry in our streets.
​
15 Happy are the people who are in such a state;
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
