Reintroducing Focus on Christ: My Journey and Our Bold New Mission
Christian men, welcome back to Focus on Christ! I’m Joe Lee, and after a six-year hiatus, I’m thrilled to relaunch this mission to empower you with faith, health, and leadership. Six years ago, I started a podcast to share my journey as a Christian man, but life’s demands paused that chapter. Now, with renewed purpose, I’m here to catch you up on where I’ve been and unveil the bold new direction for Focus on Christ. Join me as we ignite a movement to live the life God designed, rooted in biblical wisdom and practical tools.
My story begins in Missouri, raised in Kansas and Pennsylvania, where science, music, and faith shaped me. A retired Army Sergeant First Class, I served 22 years—from scout sniper in Panama to counterintelligence chief in Iraq—learning resilience and leadership under pressure. Today, I’m a Medical Laboratory Scientist and lab director, bringing precision to my work. With a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science and a Master’s in Health and Wellness, I’m a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and John Maxwell Team member. My wife and I serve in our church’s marriage ministry, nurturing our blended family and rescue dog, Bella. Faith in Christ anchors every step of my journey.
The past six years have been a season of growth and challenge. After launching 27 podcast episodes, I paused to focus on military duties, including a Kosovo rotation as a counterintelligence chief. I deepened my health expertise, earning a Master’s in Health and Wellness and expanding my use of essential oils for holistic vitality. My wife and I grew closer through marriage ministry, learning to lead families with biblical love. These years tested my faith and discipline, from long lab hours to family blending, but they clarified my calling: to empower Christian men like you to rise above struggles and live purposefully.
Focus on Christ is reborn with a clear mission: to equip you with unwavering faith, vibrant health, and fearless leadership. Our podcast is back, delivering daily short-form episodes (1–15 minutes, Monday–Friday) with quick health tips, leadership lessons, and marriage advice, plus weekly long-form episodes (30–60+ minutes, Saturday–Sunday) for deep dives with guests and solo reflections. Every Wednesday, our blog will repurpose podcast insights into actionable posts, blending scripture and practical tools. We’re building a brotherhood through newsletters, social media (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook), and listener questions at focusonchrist.com/contact. My Functional Medicine Health Coaching and Essential Oils for Wellness will guide you to optimize body and spirit, while John Maxwell principles will sharpen your leadership. As Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
Christian men, you’re navigating health challenges, leadership demands, and marital trials. Focus on Christ is here to help you break free from doubt and isolation, living boldly for Christ. I’m all in, sharing my story—from Army battlefields to family life—to inspire you. Subscribe to the podcast, read our weekly blog, and join our community at focusonchrist.com.
