Hi, I’m Chris Bennett
If you've found your way here, there's a good chance you're carrying a burden that feels heavier than it should. Maybe you're exhausted from fighting the same battles, trapped in shame, struggling with pornography or other compulsive behaviors, feeling disconnected from your spouse, or wondering if you'll ever become the man you know you're capable of being.
I understand that feeling because I've lived it.
More than 18 years ago, my own journey toward freedom began. Recovery didn't come from discovering one magical solution or finding the perfect program. It came through thousands of intentional choices made one day at a time, choosing honesty over hiding, connection over isolation, courage over comfort, and purpose over temporary escape.
Those daily choices didn't just help me find sobriety. They helped me rebuild my identity.
Today, after more than 18 years of personal recovery and over 17 years of coaching and mentoring men, I've had the privilege of walking alongside thousands of individuals as they've rebuilt trust, restored relationships, rediscovered purpose, and reclaimed the hearts they thought were lost forever.
I don't believe people are broken.
I believe they're carrying wounds that need healing.
I don't believe shame creates lasting change.
I believe lasting transformation happens when a man begins to see himself the way God sees him and learns to live from that identity every single day.
Why the Mountains Matter
One of the greatest gifts in my own recovery has been the mountains.
Each year I hike more than 400 miles, often beginning before sunrise. Long before the rest of the world wakes up, you'll usually find me on a trail with God, surrounded by stillness, fresh air, and the beauty of creation.
The mountains have become much more than exercise for me. They've become a place of healing. A place of connecting to myself, to others, and to God.
Every sunrise reminds me that no matter how dark yesterday may have been, today is a new beginning. Every climb reminds me that growth rarely comes through comfort. Every summit reminds me that the hardest paths often lead to the most breathtaking views.
Those mornings help quiet the noise of life. They restore my heart, sharpen my mind, strengthen my spirit, and remind me what it feels like to be fully alive.
That same philosophy shapes the way I coach.
Healing isn't simply about stopping destructive behaviors. It's about rediscovering who you were created to be, finding freedom, embracing adventure, strengthening your relationships, and living with purpose.
Because recovery isn't the finish line.
Becoming fully alive is.
Warrior Heart
The Weekend That Changed My Life
In June 2009, I attended my first Warrior Heart Boot Camp.
I thought I was signing up for a men's weekend.
Instead, I experienced one of the most transformational weekends of my life.
For years, I had been working on sobriety, but something deeper happened that weekend. I began to see myself differently. For perhaps the first time, I truly believed that my worth wasn't determined by my past, my mistakes, or my struggles. I began to understand what it meant to see myself as God sees me—a beloved son with purpose, value, and a heart worth fighting for.
That weekend transformed far more than my recovery.
It changed how I loved my wife.
How I showed up as a father.
How I connected with God.
How I viewed masculinity.
How I lived my life.
Most importantly, it awakened something inside of me that had been buried for years: the desire to become fully alive.
I knew I couldn't simply walk away from that experience. I wanted other men to discover the same hope and freedom that I had found.
What began with volunteering in marketing eventually led me to serve as the Prayer Team Leader, join the Speaking Team, and today, serve as a member of the Board of Directors. Since that first Boot Camp, I haven't missed a single one. It has become much more than an event I attend—it has become part of who I am and a foundation of how I serve others.
Warrior Heart is a non-denominational ministry dedicated to helping men experience a deeper relationship with God, discover their true identity, and fight for what matters most—their own hearts, their marriages, their families, and their purpose.
Today, Warrior Heart hosts three flagship Boot Camps each year in Utah, along with additional events in Alaska, Idaho, Arizona, and other locations as the mission continues to grow.
Whether through Warrior Heart or one-on-one coaching, my mission remains the same: to help men lay down shame, embrace their God-given identity, and become the husbands, fathers, leaders, and men they were created to be.

Bringing Shame Into the Light
Since 2016, I've had the privilege of co-hosting the Unashamed Unafraid podcast: a movement dedicated to changing the conversation around pornography, sexual addiction, betrayal, shame, and recovery.
For far too long, these struggles have been hidden behind silence, fear, and isolation. We believe healing begins when people realize they're not alone.
Through honest and vulnerable conversations, we've welcomed individuals in recovery, spouses navigating betrayal trauma, therapists, coaches, and other experts who share practical tools, hope, and encouragement for the journey toward healing. Every episode is built on one simple belief:
Shame loses its power when it's brought into the light.
The podcast has become an extension of my coaching philosophy. Whether I'm sitting across from a client in my office or behind a microphone interviewing someone with a powerful story, my goal is the same: to create a safe place where people feel seen, understood, and empowered to move toward lasting freedom.
If you'd like to hear more of my personal recovery story, you can listen to Episode 33, where I share the experiences that shaped my journey and ultimately led me to dedicate my life to helping others discover hope, healing, and a life fully lived.
