Living Vertically Aligned with God
Empowering believers to connect faith, work, and purpose in every sphere of life.
Vertical Life was born in a place of surrender—a moment when I finally recognized that everything we have truly belongs to God. Our time, our talent, our treasure…all His. At the end of myself, I simply said, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.” And God answered!
He showed me how I had once poured my ambition into building my own kingdom, and how He now wanted to redeem that same drive to build and expand His. Then He handed me a God-sized, impossible calling, one I could never accomplish alone, and that’s the journey that brought us here.

our values
Live these values boldly - Intention, Service, Transformation, Innovation, Achievement - and watch your life sharpen in purpose and Kingdom impact. Your work becomes worship, your challenges become testimony, and your days gain eternal weight. These aren’t just principles; they’re the path to an immeasurably more kind of impact, the kind that advances God’s purposes through a life shaped by five simple words.
What Is Kingdom Building?
To live with a Kingdom-building mindset is to live awake. It’s the person who cares deeply, serves generously, forgives quickly, and builds steadily - even when no one notices. They look for God’s hand in their work, their relationships, their opportunities, and their challenges. They don’t chase influence; they cultivate it. And as they align each sphere of their life with God’s values, their presence naturally shapes the world around them. The Vertical Life exists to guide people into that kind of intentional, transformative life.
IMMEASURABLY MORE
Ephesians 3:20 isn’t just a nice idea; it’s a promise we’re watching come true, over and over. God calls each of us to lay down our earthly ambitions and join together for Kingdom impact! Through God’s will, we can all achieve greater impact in the Kingdom of God than we could ever imagine.
Ephesians 3:20
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”
Living monday-sunday as a Follower of Christ
At The Vertical Life, we believe that all our work should glorify God. Our “Monday through Friday” lives should flow into our Sundays, creating a lifestyle of sacrifice for the Kingdom of God.
Most believers live with their faith inside a box. But at Vertical, we believe that when it comes to faith, there is no box. Our faith should define our approach to our career focus, our finances, and our family.
