Hi, I’m from Southern California. I definitely feel like a black sheep where i live. I struggle to find “people like me” with majority of pillars and values aligned. In a season of realignment, surrender and reconfiguration.

What an incredible opportunity, to fellowship with other "black sheep" entrepreneurs and dreamers. Thank you David for being inspired to start a special group like this. I hope to contribute and invest in this community. As it says in Isaiah 41:10 "I am with you... for I am your God" so we are in good company! 🙏 For those of you I haven't met, I'm a fellow Believer in Austin, TX and founder of FjORD cold plunge. Passionate about faith, wellness and genuine relationships. Hope to meet you all soon!

Grew up on a small estate in a town called Walsall in the UK. I made some terrible choices in my teenage years that landed me in prison at 19 for a street fight. Nine months inside. Got out and my dad took me to work with him in construction, as a side hussle I ran nightclub events for a few years while battling drink and party drugs. Hit 30 and realized I was going nowhere. Went back to college, got into Construction site management and worked my way up to earn Royal charter ship status in my field. Somewhere in there I started BJJ (purple belt now), travelled Asia and Australia, got sober, married Jo, and we’re homeschooling our two girls - Ivy and Edie. These days I’m up at 4-5am doing cold showers and kettlebells, training twice a week, making electronic music as Uberkoolsound, managing construction projects, and trying to live clean following the Biblio style diet. The goal? Get me and Jo into our caravan eventually, live simple, pay minimal tax, raise independent daughters who know their own minds, train until I’m old, and meet God with no regrets. Not perfect. Still figuring it out. But free. “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.” - James 1:2

Good afternoon mighty Men of God. David - thank you for the invite. Your heart for Faith filled community and fellowship is so in alignment with me and what I feel called to build and be a part of. My name is Steve Vencl and I am based in Gilbert, AZ. Drawing nearer and more intimate with God each and every day. Currently find myself in a season of waiting that is filled with peace and honest conversations with Him. My anchor/life verse is: ““You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. ” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭CSB‬‬ Looking forward to connecting with yall and seeing how God calls me to show up in each persons life in here.
