To provide Biblical counseling for men that is faithful to Scripture, centered on Christ, and focused on spiritual maturity
Meet Alex
I hold a BA in Biblical Studies from Trinity International University and an MA from Knox Theological Seminary. I’m married to his high school sweetheart, and we have two gorgeous daughters and an energetic little boy. Currently, I live in McHenry, IL.
I am the founder of The Forge Men’s Biblical Counseling Center and the planting pastor and teaching/preaching elder at The Outpost Bible Church in McHenry, IL. I have completed level one Biblical Counseling Certification through ACBC and various certification courses through The Institute of Nouthetic Studies.
Recently, I have published a book titled “A Biblical Manhood Field Manual.” You can order it HERE
In my spare time, I enjoy a good fiction book, watching a Chicago Cubs baseball game or a good boxing/UFC match, and going rucking/hiking.
A quote that has profoundly shaped me is:
"The ultimate good of the gospel is seeing and savoring the beauty and value of God". - John Piper
