You Built an Empire. But You Come Home to Rubble.
For the high-achieving Christian man who has it all but feels nothing.
You have won the world but are losing your soul. It is time to kill the False King within and fortify your life under God’s rule.
The Quiet Hell of the Successful Christian Man
It’s 9:30 PM. You’re home, but you’re not inside yet. You’re sitting in the driver’s seat of a car you worked your ass off to buy, scrolling on your phone, delaying the inevitable.
You just crushed another business deal, but you dread the cold silence waiting for you in the house. Your wife is distant. Your kids are already upstairs. You tell yourself the hustle is for them, that you’re providing—but you know the truth.
You’re bleeding out as a husband and a father.
This is the private hell of the modern Christian man: an empire abroad, rubble at home. You’re not a porn addict; you’re an approval addict, and your family is starving for the real you. You’re the provider, but you’re absent. And they can feel it.
You are performing outwardly while dying inwardly, sedated by comfort and enslaved by a shame you cannot name. You are living as a False King—an impostor in your own life, and you are terrified that one day, you will stand before God empty-handed.
I Built a National Franchise. It Didn’t Fortify Me. This Did.
My name is Forrest Walden.
I am not a preacher theorizing from a pulpit—I am a man who has been broken, forged, and fortified by God’s hand.
I know your story because I have lived it. I pursued excellence where I could measure it: in business, in the gym, in the mirror. I built Iron Tribe Fitness into a national franchise brand. I had the success, the reputation, and the life that appeared, from the outside, to be fully aligned.
But underneath the metrics was a man in the pit—depressed, spiritually depleted, and unsure if all his building had any eternal weight.
Then came the interruption. A framework that reawakened my masculinity and gave me the tools for structure. But while it offered fire, it lacked a foundation in Christ. It taught me how to regain my power, but not how to bow my knee.
So I began a new walk. God’s mandate was clear: “Go build the Christian version of this.”
I didn’t just want the tools; I wanted the truth. I didn’t want to just optimize my life; I wanted to submit it. I began the hard work of rebuilding my life, my marriage, and my business on the rock of the Gospel.
That is when I became fortified. That is when my marriage was restored, my family began to thrive, and my business became an engine for the Kingdom.
I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to invite you into the same fire that saved me

THE FORGE
(THE FK CHALLENGE CURRICULUM)
The 8-Week Forge: Your Path to Kingship
This is your 8-week journey to kill the False King and rise as a fortified man under Christ. The Fortify Kings Challenge is a step-by-step curriculum delivered through 24 foundational benchmarks, broken into five distinct phases.

You will be onboarded into the brotherhood, understand the journey ahead, and move from the PIT of poverty to the PEAK of prosperity by making a new declaration and commitment.
Phase 2
The Code

You will learn to live by The Code (Real, Raw, Relevant, Results), master the Discover Stack, and begin the hard work of identity by answering: Who Am I? Why Am I? and Where Am I?
Phase 3
The stack
(Benchmarks 10-17)
You will master your primary weapon for mental and spiritual warfare. You will learn to Attack with the Stack, reframing your stories and mastering the Rage, Gratitude, Prayer, and Bible Stacks.

If You Do Not Fortify,
You Will Fall.
This is the final choice. You can click away from this page and return to the 9:30 PM driveway confession. You can stay sedated, scattered, and enslaved to the False King.
If you do, your marriage will continue to fracture. Your children will inherit your confusion. You will grow old chasing achievement and die with regret, having multiplied nothing eternal. You will stand before God empty-handed, having built a kingdom of sand.
The path you are on leads to ruin. You know it. We know it. God knows it.
Today is the day you fight back.
It’s time to choose.
Join the brotherhood of consecrated men who refuse to drift, hide, or abdicate. Rise as a fortified son, husband, father, and builder under God’s rule.
