Building a Tactical Household. 14yrs Army SpecOps, homeschooling 5 kids on 50 acre homestead, living in a bus while we build, running construction company.
How I became a multimillionaire as an enlisted soldier with a base pay of $2801/month
AND then walked away from my government pension so I could be a better dad
When I showed up to Ranger Battalion, I let my squad know that I was a Christian.
That meant I didn’t drink, dip, or curse, and that I was a virgin (and would be until my honeymoon night).
They were dumbfounded.
My team leader remarked “I thought people like you went extinct
Married at 23 (she was 22).
Never dated anyone else.
We were both virgins but really enjoyed figuring things out.
Now we have five kids, our own businesses, and a farm.
Normal is: your wife staying home with your kids while you work hard/smart enough to make that possible.
Work ethic + an ability to learn skills + a moderate understanding of business (not degrees) makes this possible.
You may also need to reduce your family overhead (e.g. no

I was broke, my construction business was loosing money, and I was getting sued.
I had two mortgages and we were living in a broken down mansion with no heat or AC.
Out of desperation, I submitted my resume for a government contract job with a $15k/month salary. The catch: I’d
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse… A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does
I feel like in America today, a lot of pastors were the ones that got beat up as kids, retreated to books, and then were given authority because of degrees.
They were never respected by males, and that’s why they took up preaching to woman (of both sexes).
We need more
It is not normal to drop your kids off with the government so you can help build a giant corporation that hates you.
Stop for a second and count the costs.
The illusion of security, health insurance, and two weeks of paid vacation aren't a good trade for your children's souls.
The strongest women we have aren’t out being mediocre at politics…
They are:
- often pregnant
- home schooling their 5+ children
- planting gardens
- pulling fresh sourdough bread from the oven
- making music (and teaching their kids to do the same)
- making a meal for the
Things will change when men:
- acknowledge Christ as King
- stay in shape
- make money (a byproduct of mastery)
- get married (then have sex)
- make lots of babies (and home educate them)
- take their family to church
Honorable mentions:
- buy some land
- plant gardens and/or
Don't send your sons to college.

: a shotgun

I inherited a 20 gauge shotgun from my grandfather, and for years it’s the only gun we had. I kept it in the corner by the bed. It was loaded with buckshot without a shell in the chamber, so the sound of me
Two years later: The hard life isn’t over but we’re continuing to build wealth with real skills (we learned over time) and hard work.

Today is a glorious day. The government has given me permission to build my house on my land. How nice of them.

The plan is to build the whole thing with my kids, and hopefully we'll be done by Christmas!
Our culture has no idea how much more masculine obedience to God can make you.

They would also ask “how can we trust you in a

I remarked “we’ll we’ve almost been arrested at this park before”
My kids all smiled knowingly.

Miserable people are allergic to joyful Godly marriages and are simultaneously resentful and envious.
Envy: I wish I had it and at the same time want you not to have it!

Most of Christians today would tell David to have Goliath over for coffee and to get him to say the sinner prayer.
We do have examples of mercy in war — like King Alfred and Guthrum.
But some people are just “vessels of wrath prepared for destruction.”
Historically, households have been much more tactical than they are today.
Tactical meaning “showing skillful planning; aiming at an end beyond the immediate action”
Households haven’t always relied on benevolent employers, the government, and fragile superstructures for food,

The conversation would have been worthless without me also closing with and destroying the enemy without fear — because “God has fixed the time of my death”
For all the single men out there that want to find a good woman to marry:
IF I was still single, I would:
- get the skills/job to earn a good income
- get in great physical shape
- attend and submit to the authority of my local church
- never look at pornography
Then I’d:

Find a church that men run, children sit with you during worship, and is focused on praising God (not entertaining you) then commit for 50+ years and see what happens.

Men, your ability to lead hinges on your ability to recognize the serpent’s tactics.

So what does he do instead?

I see a lot of bros posting about workouts, but I often wonder what it’s like at their dinner table.
Does his household have joy?

Do his kids respect him?
Don’t use the barbell to escape building a productive household.
I love how “Christians” read Proverbs 31 and think it justifies women being pyramid scheme/side hustle overlords while someone else educates their children.
Men and women are different.
Women will always be mediocre soldiers and policemen compared to men.
That's ok! We are stronger when we fill the rolls God intended us to fill!

Men, one of the most masculine things you can do: take your kids to church and let them hear you sing like you’re charging and enemy on the field of battle. You are!

This world needs men building productive households.
Families turning children into joyful competent adults while also building wealth.

- love my wife well
- raise joyful competent children

Trying to raise men that:
- fear God (only)
- listen to instruction
- know how to work
- tell the truth
- take responsibility
- open doors and give up their seat for women
- know how to sink a rear-naked choke
- can run a skid steer
- can drive a nail
- love reading

A lot of Christians would rather go to five conferences than build one barn, start a small business, or work out.
It’s done in the doing not in the listing to people talk about the doing.
Over the age of 12 and still playing video games? Stop it!
Gaming companies are worth billions because they get you to trade an epic real life later for a fantasy today.
