Move beyond mere survival.

Our Vision

We envision a reality where those who are so convinced of their worth and value can lead and influence from a secure place; not needing to convince, control, manipulate or avoid, but becoming more and more effective for good.

HeartStrong is more than just a name.

Our Mission

HeartStrong is a belief, a posture, a way of living that flows out of an inner reality that is honest about it's failures, flaws, and foibles as well as honest about it's inherent worth and value.

Our mission is to help people live and lead from a place of inner strength rooted in True Love.

Through coaching, content, and community we seek to help people become more and more effective within their culture.

HeartStrong is a non-profit 501c3 organization.

We are a profoundly gospel-centric faith organization in the orthodox Christian tradition.
