Why Fireside Exists

The Battle Every
Man Faces.

The world demands everything from you and offers nothing back.

Pressure to provide. Pressure to lead. Pressure to hold it all together. And most men carry it alone.

The Enemy IsolationPassivityComparisonDrift

You were built for more. Not to drift. Not to hide. To stand in strength, in faith, with brothers beside you.

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

As good as it gets for leveling up your skills with your firearms and leveling up your skill, confidence and determination as a husband, father, and especially as a man in today's culture. Third Fireside for me and it was the best one yet.

The Fireside Code

The Standard We Live By.

Six lines. One standard. The words a man of Fireside holds himself to on the range, at the fire, and at home.

Two Fireside brothers side by side at the range
Stand for Your Brothers
  • I "I am a man of Fireside."
  • II "I can admit my mistakes and will learn from them, so that I can lift others up and be lifted up."
  • III "I will stand for the Lord, to do good works every day, in every area of my life."
  • IV "I will stand up and lead myself, my family, and my brothers in honor, respect, and righteousness."
  • V "I will encourage other men to take action for God, to do the next loving thing, and leave this world a better place."
  • VI "I will stand for the Lord and stand for my brothers."
In Memoriam

The Legacy of
Keith Gibbs.

A forged warrior whose life was a living testament to brotherhood, faith, and standing for what is righteous and true.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."

Ephesians 6:10-11

Keith Gibbs was not a man who stood still. He faced his own battles but chose to Stand for the Lord and Stand for his brothers. His life was a living testament to Ephesians 6:10, inspiring men to put on the full armor of God and fight for what is righteous and true.

Keith saw the battle in every man's heart. A longing for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. He was a sentinel for the Fireside vision, and his teachings inspired hundreds of men to build their own ministries and bands of brothers.

The week before his passing, a group of brothers had the opportunity to pray with Keith. He texted back: "I was moved with emotion, overwhelmed by the prayers of faith from the men of God I call my brothers. I receive healing in Jesus' name and I will believe and not doubt."

In that short message, Keith summed up his legacy. Every word from Keith was one of encouragement, strength, endearment, and God's love. He affirmed men, challenged them, and helped them open their eyes to God's truth.

His legacy is not in the words he spoke, but in the men he called to action. It lives on in every man who chooses to STAND, lead with honor, and stand for his brothers.

Love in Brotherhood,
Your Fireside Brothers
