Speaker. Consultant.

I translate complex concepts about relationships and mental health into clear insights and actionable steps that move people from inspiration to real transformation.

Hi, I’m Ben!

From battling anxiety, trauma, addiction, and depression to becoming a global speaker and co-founder of a movement that reaches millions, I’m passionate about helping people and organizations experience real healing and transformation.

Drawing from personal healing and nearly 15 years of global experience, I help leaders, organizations, and faith communities prevent burnout, strengthen mental health, and build cultures where people thrive by teaching how practical life principles and neuroscience work together to bring lasting freedom.

I’m here to equip you with practical tools to build cultures where people thrive—mentally, emotionally, and relationally.

I’m glad you’re here.

THE FULL STORY

I didn’t start out thinking I’d spend my life helping people heal. I was just trying to survive.

For years I battled deep anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction, doing everything I knew to get free, but still feeling stuck. It wasn’t until I began studying psychology, trauma, and neuroscience through the lens of Scripture that I started to understand why I was struggling and how lasting transformation actually happens.

What began as my own journey toward healing soon grew into a calling to help others find the same freedom.

Over the next six years, I built a program inside one of the largest faith-based ministries that transformed the culture from the inside out. What started as a simple book study became a movement: ministry leaders were in healing groups I led, every job applicant met with me to talk about emotional health, and we formed partnerships with professional counseling ministries to make therapy accessible to everyone. I developed trainings, coached leaders, and created resources that spread to countless states — equipping thousands of people to heal and thrive. By the end, we had a full-fledged system of care and resources that was changing lives week after week.

That experience changed everything for me. I realized this wasn’t just a passion, it was a blueprint.

To date, I’ve spent nearly 15 years helping people and organizations around the world prevent burnout, strengthen mental health, and build cultures where people thrive. I co-founded Resolution Movement with well-known global speaker and author Josh McDowell, a trauma-informed movement that integrates biblical truth and neuroscience to help people heal, grow, and thrive. Our resources have reached tens of millions in more than 150 countries.

My bestselling book Free to Thrive—translated into 10 languages and distributed through more than 1,500 churches across the world—is the most requested Christian resource in South Asia, helping thousands discover faith, healing, and freedom.

My social media content reaches over one million viewers per day, engaging audiences across faith and professional spaces with practical messages about healing, mental health, and purpose.

Today, I work with leaders, churches, schools, and organizations to apply the same principles I’ve seen transform individual lives and entire communities. Whether it’s a youth group or a corporate team, I help people move from information to implementation, from knowing what’s true to living it out with clarity, confidence, and wholeness.

What started as my personal search for healing has become my life’s work: helping others build systems, cultures, and habits that lead to lasting freedom and flourishing.
