NATIONAL TREASURE OR TRASH
War, Memory, and the Intergenerational Costs of Combat
National Treasure or Trash explores leadership, war, institutional memory, military service, and the long-term human consequences of conflict across generations.
Drawing from military experience, historical analysis, family history, systems thinking, and modern institutional challenges, the book examines how societies remember war, how institutions shape people, and what costs quietly carry forward long after conflict ends.
Rather than offering simple answers, the book challenges readers to think critically about leadership, stewardship, sacrifice, resilience, and the relationship between citizens, institutions, and the burdens of national power.
Themes include:
• Military service and identity
• Intergenerational memory
• Leadership and stewardship
• Institutional resilience
• War and societal disconnect
• Systems thinking and long-term consequences
• Civic responsibility and continuity
DI$CIPLESHIP: Faith and Finance
Di$cipleship explores the intersection of stewardship, faith, leadership, responsibility, finance, discipline, and long-term personal development.
The book focuses on the idea that leadership begins long before titles, positions, or institutions — and that sustainable success is built through habits, stewardship, responsibility, resilience, and intentional living across every area of life.
Rather than approaching stewardship narrowly through finances alone, Di$cipleship examines broader questions involving purpose, discipline, relationships, service, accountability, community, and personal growth.
The book is designed to encourage practical reflection and long-term thinking while helping readers develop stronger foundations for leadership, stewardship, and decision-making in both personal and professional life.
Themes include:
• Stewardship and responsibility
• Faith and discipline
• Leadership development
• Long-term thinking
• Personal accountability
• Resilience and growth
• Financial stewardship
• Service and community
THE DI$CIPLESHIP MINISTRY SERIES
The Di$cipleship series is designed to function as a complete leadership, stewardship, and personal-development ministry framework when used together as an integrated system.
The Core Book establishes the foundational philosophy surrounding stewardship, faith, responsibility, leadership, resilience, service, and long-term personal growth.
The Leaders & Facilitators Edition provides structured guidance, discussion support, leadership-development concepts, and facilitation tools for pastors, mentors, ministry leaders, small groups, and organizational environments.
The Field Manual serves as the practical application component, helping participants actively apply concepts through reflection, accountability, discipline, discussion, and day-to-day personal development.
Together, the three components are intended to create a balanced discipleship and leadership-development ecosystem focused on stewardship, accountability, service, resilience, community, and long-term growth both individually and collectively.
DI$CIPLESHIP – LEADERS & FACILITATORS EDITION
When used as a ministry resource, the Leaders & Facilitators Edition of Di$cipleship is designed to support pastors, facilitators, mentors, ministry leaders, Veterans’ groups, and small-group communities seeking to encourage deeper conversations surrounding stewardship, faith, responsibility, leadership, discipline, and long-term personal growth.
The expanded edition combines structured discussion guidance, leadership-development concepts, stewardship philosophy, and practical facilitation tools intended to help leaders create thoughtful, grounded, and sustainable group engagement.
Rather than focusing narrowly on finance or personal success alone, the book explores how stewardship applies across leadership, relationships, service, accountability, resilience, community, and long-term decision-making.
The goal is to help facilitators create environments that encourage meaningful discussion, personal responsibility, spiritual growth, and long-term development both individually and collectively.
DI$CIPLESHIP FIELD MANUAL
When used as part of a ministry, discipleship group, or leadership-development program, the Di$cipleship Field Manual serves as a practical companion resource focused on reflection, application, discipline, stewardship, accountability, and day-to-day personal growth.
Structured as an actionable workbook and guided-development tool, the Field Manual encourages participants to move beyond theory alone by actively applying concepts involving leadership, faith, stewardship, service, resilience, and intentional living within everyday life.
The manual is intended to support individual growth, small-group engagement, leadership development, and long-term habit formation while reinforcing the broader themes found throughout the Di$cipleship series.
The focus is not perfection, but consistent growth, reflection, responsibility, stewardship, and the development of stronger personal foundations over time.
