PURPOSE & VISION

Heart of a Warrior is a ministry dedicated to helping men live lives of integrity and honor under the authority of God. It is committed to developing men after God’s heart so that they bear, in their person, the imprint of His character reflected in all they think, say and do. To this end we are committed to bringing reconciliation between men and God, men and their families, and men and their calling.

Dr. Bourgond had grown weary of men living in the "misty lowlands of mediocrity," abdicating their responsibility to be godly leaders within their sphere of influence, forgetting their identity in Christ, wasting their energies on non-significant activities, and losing their passion for what matters to God. So Heart of a Warrior came to life in 1991 with 15 men in San Diego, California. It was born out of a desire to change the hearts of men from the inside out so that they live lives that bring glory and honor to God.
