Tony Wilcox

Welcome!

I’m Tony.  I’m honored and glad you’re here.  If someone asked if I have a super-power, I would have to say it is the power of life-giving influence.  I use words (as well as pictures and sounds) to influence others in a way that enhances and improves lives.  It’s my mission to BLESS OTHERS.

A blessing is simply a life-giving word spoken over another person.  That’s what I try to do with everyone… every friend, every family member and every person I meet.  My mission is to communicate words that GIVE LIFE.

In addition to being a life-giving influencer, I’m also a husband, father, grand-father, mentor, friend, author, speaker, entrepreneur, leader and above all, a devoted follower of Jesus. 

Here’s how I describe my work and purpose…

My mission in life is to know and experience God through his son, Jesus Christ, loving him above all else as I CHALLENGE, LEAD, and INSPIRE men by ENCOURAGING, EQUIPPING, STRENGTHENING and TRAINING them to do the difficult work of transformation along their own personal journeys to become the true man God designed them to be.

If you feel stuck in your life right now, I get that. If you’re lost, I’ve checked that box, too.  If you’re just frustrated with life the way it is right now, that’s ok.  ALL of that can be fixed by accomplishing ONE THING:

Becoming the man God originally designed you to be.

The Challenge

All of us are pursuing a version of the “BEST LIFE” we can imagine in one way or another – chasing money, the dream job, a satisfying relationship or even loftier goals like improved self-confidence or inner peace.  Ultimately, even our best efforts fail to yield the kind of lasting, satisfying results our hearts are longing for and most of us find ourselves stuck, lost or frustrated.

It All Starts with Misery and Willingness

Have you had enough of the way you’ve been living your life? Have you had enough misery that you find yourself at the point where you’re ready to do something different? Are you willing to explore a different path than the one you’ve been on for so long?  Are you one of the brave ones willing to step out of your comfort zone, to accept a challenge and learn how to do hard things?  If so, you and I will become fast friends!  More than anything in life, I love to lead men on the amazing, exciting adventure of learning to become the man God designed them to be.

The Journey

The Upward Expedition is a Christ-centered, Bible-based process that takes you on an adventure of spiritual formation in pursuit of becoming the man God created you to be.  You’ll learn to become true to yourself, God and others in your heart, soul, mind and body.

Your first session is complimentary so we can both decide if working together is part of God’s plan for us both.
