About Me
I’m Vance Gatlin II—follower of Christ, thinker, father, and fighter for truth.
I’ve spent the last decade forging my life through hardship, Scripture, philosophy, and training. I write not as a guru, but as a fellow pilgrim, helping others live grounded and prepared in a world that is set on shaking everything loose.
This isn’t theory. It’s training.
