🎙️ Ascension of the Warrior Podcast
Reaching 50,000 Fathers — From Grieving Loss to Leading Their Families & Businesses
Welcome to the Ascension of the Warrior Podcast, where we speak directly to fathers who have walked through the darkest valleys of loss and are now being called to rise. This isn’t just another podcast—it’s a movement of men stepping out of the pit and into their purpose.
I’m Rick Kauffman, author of Ascension of the Warrior Master Craftsman’s Design and founder of the Ascension of the Warrior Program. After losing my daughter over 30 years ago, I spent decades silently suffering. But God gave me a vision—50,000 fathers, each a branch on a tree planted in purpose, called to rise up and lead.
Here’s what this show is about: 🔨 Healing – Face the pain you’ve buried and discover God’s power to redeem it.
💡 Faith – Reconnect with your Creator and hear His voice clearly again.
👨👧 Fatherhood – Learn how to lead your family from love, not shame.
🔥 Purpose – Transform your story into a legacy through your business and calling.
This podcast is raw, real, and rooted in truth. If you’ve ever asked, “Why me?” or felt unseen in your grief and struggle—this space is for you.
Together, we rise. Together, we lead.
Because the world needs unstoppable men of God now more than ever.
Are you ready to ascend? Let’s go to work. 💥
