THE OUTLIER ETHOS

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe the Kingdom of God is a realm, not a religion.

Jesus did not come to start Christianity. He came to reveal the Father and invite us into His Kingdom.

Christianity has become the wolf in sheep’s clothing—man’s attempt to build a religion instead of God’s invitation into the Kingdom. It's an orphan-making system disguised as light, leaving people feeling like they’re never enough.

We’re done with religion. We’re done with performance. We’re done with churches that use hype and emotion to build systems instead of connecting people to God. We exist to help people find freedom in Jesus outside of organized religion—guarding the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

The Outlier’s Way is the narrow road Jesus spoke of—the path that leads to life. It is not about performance, religion, or hype, but intimacy with the Father. Only those who know Him and do His will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. We don’t live from Sunday to Sunday; we practice a Christ-centered life of purpose, power, and provision every day—just as Jesus instructed.

We are not reformers patching up a broken system. We're revolutionaries—like Jesus—calling people out of religion and into the living Kingdom.

We’re Outliers—sons and daughters of God, royalty of the Most High, the 13th Tribe, a remnant who rise above broken systems.

We believe in the Law of Ability: the measure in which you understand your God-given identity determines the measure of ability you can access and release. The only way to fulfill your destiny is to break free from orphan-making systems, heal the wounds that told you you’re not enough, and come into alignment with your true identity in God.

Identity unlocks ability. Ability produces breakthrough. Breakthrough leads to destiny.

Our allegiance is to Jesus alone. Our path is the narrow way. Our pursuit is the Kingdom.

If you’re tired of religion but still love God, you’ve found your people.

Why Every Outlier Needs a Personal Mission Statement

March 21, 20244 min read

When was the last time you truly sat down to define your purpose? Not just dream about it, but actually articulate what drives you, what you stand for, and what legacy you want to leave behind. If you’re like most people, the answer is probably “never.” But here’s the truth: without a clear mission, you’re drifting, not driving.

That’s why I wrote My Mission Statement: A Shortcut for You to Create Yours. It’s not just a book—it’s an invitation to clarity and purpose. As an Outlier—a freethinker, creator, or entrepreneur—you know you’re wired differently. You see possibilities others overlook. But even the most driven individuals lose momentum without a clear roadmap.

My Story: From Dream to Clarity

I still remember the moment everything changed for me. It was 2007, and I was sitting with a billionaire who also happened to be a devoted follower of Christ. In our conversation, he said something that rocked me:

“Whether you have a big dream, a small dream, or no dream at all, the cost is the same. You’re going to exchange your life for it.”

That idea stuck with me. I realized that every single day, I was exchanging my time, energy, and effort for something. But what was I truly building? Was I chasing someone else’s vision or crafting my own?

I took two weeks to pray, reflect, and draft my personal mission statement. I wanted to clarify not only what I wanted to achieve but also how I would live while pursuing it. Little did I know, that clarity would become my anchor in the storms to come—bankruptcy, homelessness, and starting over with a wife and four young kids.

What Writing a Mission Statement Does for You

A mission statement isn’t just a document; it’s a compass. It reminds you of your “why” when challenges arise. Here’s what it does:

  1. Gives You Clarity: When you’re overwhelmed, it helps you focus on what truly matters.

  2. Anchors You in Adversity: In tough seasons, it reminds you why you started and why you must continue.

  3. Sets Your Direction: It acts as a roadmap, ensuring your efforts align with your values and goals.

  4. Inspires Others: A clear mission motivates not just you, but those around you to rally toward a common vision.

Why Outliers Need a Mission Statement

As Outliers, we face unique challenges. We don’t follow traditional paths; we blaze our own. But that freedom comes with responsibility. Without a clear mission, even the most ambitious plans can falter.

A mission statement is especially crucial for:

  • Freethinkers: To stay true to your values in a world full of noise.

  • Creators: To build projects that align with your deeper purpose.

  • Entrepreneurs: To focus your energy on ventures that matter.

The Simplicity of Writing Yours

In My Mission Statement, I break down the process into simple steps, including:

  • Reflecting on Your Values: What truly matters to you?

  • Defining Your Purpose: What legacy do you want to leave?

  • Writing It Down: Putting your mission into clear, actionable words.

You don’t need to start from scratch—I share my mission as an example and provide a template you can adapt.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait

Too many people put off defining their mission until life forces their hand. Don’t wait for a crisis. Take control now. Imagine waking up every day with unshakable clarity, knowing who you are and what you’re working toward.

Writing your mission statement isn’t just a task—it’s an investment in your future.
