About Us

Hi, I’m [Your Name], one of the co-founders of Shield & Pen—and just like you, I’ve had my fair share of stress, overwhelm, and questions about whether I was truly living the life God intended. As a busy husband and father, I often felt stretched thin between work, parenting responsibilities, and a desire to grow deeper in my faith. Yet, for a long time, I struggled to find a way to clear my mind and reconnect with my spiritual purpose in the midst of everyday chaos.

My Turning Point

My wake-up call came when I realized how easy it was to come home exhausted, mentally foggy, and disconnected from my family. I needed a system to unload my stress, reflect on who I was in God’s eyes, and re-align with my priorities. That’s when journaling became more than just scribbling words on a page—it became a lifeline.

Discovering the Power of Journaling

I started dedicating just a few minutes each day to write down my thoughts, ask honest questions about my faith, and set small goals. This simple habit had a profound impact on my outlook and relationships:

• I found clarity in my daily decisions and felt more patient with my kids.
• My connection with God deepened because I was being intentional about prayerful reflection.
• Stress became more manageable, and I noticed a fresh sense of purpose in how I led my family.

Why Shield & Pen?

As I shared my journaling process with close friends—many of them husbands and fathers in similar shoes—I realized something crucial: men often need permission (and a practical framework) to talk about stress, faith, and the challenges of balancing it all. “Shield & Pen” represents the protection we build around our mind and spirit (the “Shield”) and the reflective tool we use to sort our thoughts and find truth (the “Pen”).

Along with my best friend and co-founder, I set out to create a faith-focused journaling community where men can openly share their wins, struggles, and questions. It’s a place where no topic is off-limits—fatherhood, marriage, spiritual growth, or the raw difficulties of everyday life.
