Stop playing small.

Our world needs men who play big.

Hi, I’m Justin Buzzard

I help men play big.

Manhood is a mess. Most men play small with their lives—settling for boring life stories with tiny desires, weak influence, zero heart, surface friends, and a small god. Men are rusting, not risking. And the world suffers for it.

I’m not okay with this. 

I’ve been there, but I’m not there anymore. I used to play small with my life as a way to protect myself from hurt and failure. But this didn’t help the people around me and didn’t satisfy my longing for more. My life was interrupted by the real God and the real calling of masculinity. 

Men, God is Big. And you can’t become a man until you start the adventure of trusting that God is BIGGER than every giant you face and that you carry unique gifts our world needs you to deploy at full volume. This involves all of you—not just some small, churchy slice of you. To be a man is more exciting, dangerous, and fun than you think.

I hope you choose to play big. We need you. 

RISK or RUST!

  • “Justin is fun. We grew up together. We used to get kicked out of science class multiple times a day, get chased by bad guys, and arrange fights in the locker room by telling two guys that the other was talking trash, which wasn't true. We have so many good stories. Hang out with Justin."
