Shane Nihart
Shane is a bald but bearded wonder with a light-heart and balanced approach to the hardness of life. His expertise has developed from decades of varietal life experiences. He is a man who seeks to understand with a common sense that isn't all too common. Shane exemplifies safe, bold, and protective masculinity in a world that shuns it. His intuition and discernment sees through the facade to the potential in each person he meets.
Shane is a young soul, preferring to spend his time with the young and "hip" while speaking and ministering to teens weekly. Shane has become a leader, counselor, and guide to many, encouraging integrity in the warriors of the next generation. His career as a freedom coach, speaker, and writer is impacting men young and old to rise up and claim their identity as safe protectors, faithful providers, and honest friends.
In the wee hours of the morning you'll find Shane practicing his Miracle Morning which he'll tell you has been life-changing. After work you might find him rocking out to Skillet as he works on his writing, or attempting to rise victorious over his kids in the latest x-box rivalry.
His wife says that he is a generous father, lover, and friend. He has proven steady in all of life's chaos and taught her the true definition of love, a love that has helped her heal. She adores serving with him in their shared vision and is so proud of who he is becoming. Given the choice she would gladly choose him again.
