T.A.A.S. University:
A Path to Christ-Centered Manhood
T.A.A.S. University is an 8-month experiential journey designed for men who want to align every area of life—faith, purpose, relationships, and leadership—with biblical truth.
This Christ-centered program focuses on genuine personal growth and transformation, teaching men not just how to succeed in love and life, but how to discover their mission and pursue true victory.
What Does "T.A.A.S." Stand For?
TAAS represents four actionable pillars of biblical manhood:
T – Trust and obey God
A – Accept blame without shame
A – Always purpose to glorify God and love others
S – Serve while leading
Why I Created TAAS University:
Far too often, we assume that education, sports, and a loving home will naturally produce successful men. We expect these experiences to teach us what it means to be a man—our responsibilities, our roles, and how to fulfill them with excellence.
But the truth is, being a man is vitally important and requires far more than passive experience.
Like any meaningful pursuit, manhood demands intentional training, guidance, and challenge.
To become good men—capable, responsible, and honorable—we must be taught, pushed beyond our comfort zones, and tested by real-life situations.
Without this deliberate preparation, we risk falling into mediocrity, never realizing our true potential or the positive impact we could have on those around us.
I created TAAS University to fill this gap.
Born from years of research, prayer, personal struggle, and coaching men through life’s challenges, this program provides the roadmap many of us never received.

The Trust & Obedience Required for Transformation...
Naaman had it all.
As commander of the Syrian army, he was powerful, respected, and successful.
The text tells us he was “a great man with his master and in high favor”— essentially, he was the most decorated general in the region, a man who had won victories for his king and commanded the respect of nations. He had wealth, status, military genius, and royal favor.
Everything, except the one thing that mattered most: his health.
Leprosy was slowly destroying him.
When he finally heard of a prophet in Israel who might cure him, Naaman came with an entourage befitting his status—horses, chariots, servants, and gifts worth a fortune. He stood at Elisha’s door expecting, quite reasonably given his position, that the prophet would come out personally, call upon God with dramatic ceremony, wave his hand over the diseased flesh, and heal him on the spot. This was a man accustomed to deference, to spectacle, to having his expectations met.
Instead, Elisha didn’t even come to the door.
He sent a messenger with stark instructions: “Go, wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored.”
Naaman was furious. The text says he “went away in a rage.” And who could blame him? He’d traveled all this way, brought extravagant gifts, and this prophet couldn’t even be bothered to meet him face-to-face? The instructions made no sense—go dunk yourself in a muddy river? “Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?” he protested.
He could bathe in clearer, grander rivers back home. How could this possibly cure leprosy? What was the mechanism? Where was the logic? This felt beneath him, pointless, offensive.
Here’s where the story turns on a single, crucial moment.
Naaman’s servants—people of far lower status, people whose opinions he could have easily dismissed—spoke up with remarkable wisdom: “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much rather, then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
Think about what they were really asking.
They weren’t pointing out that the task was easy (though it was) —they were pointing out that Naaman was willing to trust Elisha if the instructions matched his expectations, but unwilling to trust him when they didn’t. If Elisha had prescribed some elaborate ritual, some heroic quest, some procedure that made sense to Naaman’s understanding of how healing should work, he would have done it without question.
The problem wasn’t the difficulty or simplicity of washing in the Jordan. The problem was that it required trust without understanding.
This is the heart of the matter: Naaman wanted a cure he could understand, one that made sense to him. He wanted to see the connection between cause and effect, to comprehend why this particular river, why seven times, why no dramatic prayer or laying on of hands. He wanted the cure to work in a way his military mind could grasp.
But God doesn’t submit His methods to our approval. He calls us to obedience as an act of trust.
The servants understood something profound: obedience to God’s wisdom isn’t all about the difficulty of the task—it’s about surrendering our need to understand everything before we act. It’s about trusting that God sees what we cannot see, knows what we do not know, and works through means we might never choose ourselves.
Naaman eventually went to the Jordan, and with each immersion, he was making a choice: I will trust what I do not understand. I will obey what makes no sense to me. I will place my faith not in my own comprehension, but in the prophet’s word.
And on the seventh time, his flesh was restored “like the flesh of a little child.”
TAAS University: Your Jordan River
You should consider attending TAAS University if you’re ready to acknowledge that some things in your life aren’t working.
Maybe you can’t quite name it yet, but you know you’re not the man God created you to be. You’re carrying something—patterns of thinking, behavioral habits, emotional wounds, spiritual blockages—that’s preventing you from becoming whole. Like Naaman, you’ve come seeking transformation. And like Naaman, you’re going to receive instructions that may not match your expectations.
You’ll open a reading assignment and wonder: What does this have to do with my actual problems? You’ll encounter an exercise that feels disconnected from what you think you need. You’ll be asked to engage with material that doesn’t seem to address your specific situation in the way you expected. And in those moments, you’ll face the same choice Naaman faced: Will you trust the process, or will you walk away frustrated because it doesn’t make sense to you?
Here’s what you need to understand: The readings and exercises in TAAS University are your Jordan River. They may not look like what you expected. They may not address what you think your problem is. They may seem irrelevant, too simple, or strangely focused. But they’ve been carefully designed through discernment and invite God into the transformation process.
God can use anything to accomplish his purposes.
He healed Naaman through a muddy river. He might transform you through a reading about something you think you’ve already mastered, or an exercise that seems to miss your “real issue” entirely. The question isn’t whether you understand how a particular assignment will help you. The question is: Do you trust that God can work through the process?
The Temptation to Skip What Doesn’t Make Sense
You’re going to be tempted to pick and choose. To do the assignments that resonate with you and skip the ones that don’t. To engage deeply with readings that address what you already know are your struggles, and skim past the ones that seem off-target. To complete exercises that make sense to you and dismiss the ones that feel irrelevant.
This is Naaman saying, “Surely the rivers of Damascus are better than the Jordan.” It’s your wisdom competing with God’s wisdom. It’s your diagnosis of what you need over ruling the expert guidance you sought out in the first place.
But consider the servants’ question applied to your situation: If the curriculum told you to do something that aligned perfectly with what you thought you needed, you’d do it without hesitation. So why not do it when it requires trust instead of comprehension? Why not engage fully with every reading and exercise, even when you can’t see how it connects to your transformation?
Every assignment you skip because it doesn’t make sense to you might be exactly the one God intended to use to heal you.
You don’t know which immersion in the Jordan is the seventh one.
You don’t know which reading will unlock something in you that’s been closed for decades.
You don’t know which exercise will be the channel through which God’s grace finally reaches the wounded place you’ve protected for so long.
Obedience as an Act of Faith
Completing every reading isn’t about being a good student. Finishing every exercise isn’t about checking boxes. This is about faith made visible. This is about trusting that God is at work in this process, even when—especially when—you don’t understand how a particular assignment serves that work.
God calls us to obedience as an exercise in faith. He doesn’t always explain His methods. He doesn’t submit His plans for our approval. He simply gives instruction through those He’s called to guide His people, and He waits to see if we trust Him enough to obey what we don’t understand.
This is the deeper curriculum of TAAS University:
-
Learning to trust God’s wisdom over your own understanding.
-
Learning that transformation happens not when you figure everything out, but when you surrender to a process you don’t fully control or comprehend.
-
Learning that becoming the man God created you to be requires dying to the man you think you should be.
The Fruit You Cannot Yet See
Naaman couldn’t see his healing until the seventh immersion. He had to trust through six trips into the water that produced no visible change. He had to keep obeying when there was no evidence it was working.
You’re going to read things and see no immediate transformation. You’re going to complete exercises and feel exactly the same afterward. You’re going to engage with material and wonder if any of this is actually doing anything. And in those moments, you’ll be tempted to quit, to skip ahead, to find a shortcut, to trust your own wisdom about what you need instead of the wisdom embedded in this curriculum.
But trust that doing the work will bear fruit, even when you can’t see it yet.
Trust that God is forming you through means you might never have chosen.
Trust that this program will reveal truths that you don’t yet see, and that God is using TAAS U to help guide you toward wholeness.
The fruit of obedience often appears long after the act itself. Seeds planted in one season bear fruit in another. And God’s timeline for your transformation is not subject to your approval or understanding.
Your Choice at the Jordan
You’re standing where Naaman stood: possibly offended that the path to healing doesn’t match your expectations, tempted to walk away because the instructions don’t make sense to you, wondering if this can possibly work when it looks nothing like what you thought you needed.
The servants’ wisdom speaks to you across the millennia: If you would do the work when it made sense to you, why not do it when it requires faith? Any honest believer will acknowledge that their own wisdom is insufficient. So why rely on your own intellect, deciding which assignments are worth your engagement?
Do the readings. All of them. Not because you understand how each one will help you, but because you trust that God works through means you might not ordinarily choose.
Complete the exercises. Every one. Not because they all resonate with you immediately, but because transformation happens in the obedience, not in the comprehension.
Engage fully with the curriculum. Not because every assignment will feel relevant, but because you trust the process more than you trust your own assumptions about what you need.
This is your Jordan River.
Wade in.
Trust that each reading, each exercise, each assignment is another immersion in the water God is using to mold you. Trust that doing what you’re told, even when you don’t understand it, is faith made visible. Trust that God is forming you into the man He created you to be, even when the path looks nothing like what you expected.
Naaman left his need for understanding at the Jordan and walked away whole— restored not just physically, but spiritually, his pride replaced by faith, his self-reliance surrendered to trust in God’s unexpected methods.
Trust the process. Do the work. All of it. And watch what God does when trust opens you to transformation you couldn’t have designed for yourself.
Wade in. Trust God — as you meet Him in the river.
