How are you carrying the weight of your world?
As a husband, father, leader, provider, and protector—are you brave enough to ask the people you love how you’re really doing, and willing to hear the truth?
Many men carry heavy responsibilities they were never meant to carry alone, limping along with or hiding old wounds they’ve never let Jesus heal. This creates constant pressure, exhaustion, and the tiring belief that everything depends on them.
This is not another book with a formula to become a better man
There is no quick fix or shortcut to maturity
Jesus doesn’t offer a method—He invites you into a journey
The Outrider: Become the Man You Needed is an invitation into that journey. Instead of striving harder or trying to become the hero of your own story, it calls you to surrender to the One who already is the Hero.
Through real stories of healing, identity, suffering, and surrender, Joseph D. Mize shows how a broken boy can become a beloved son and finally grow into the man he was created to be—not by creating a new version of yourself, but by letting Jesus chip away at everything that isn’t truly you.
In these pages, you’ll discover:
Why responsibility without belovedness turns into pressure and performance
How childhood wounds and unmet longings still shape your adulthood
What it really means to live as a beloved son instead of chasing approval
How suffering and surrender become part of God’s training process
Why healthy authority flows from relationship with the Father rather than control
A practical pathway to partner with Jesus in your own story
Unlike most books in this genre, The Outrider is an immersive journey. It is designed to be experienced, not just read. You’ll find reflection questions, guided prayers, and original songs from The Outrider’s Ballad woven throughout—real invitations to slow down, listen, pray, reflect, and meet with Jesus personally.
This is more than a book about becoming a better man. It’s an invitation to lay down the exhausting weight you’ve been carrying and become the man your young heart needed—the man you were created to be.
You were never meant to carry the weight of your world alone.
You can learn to walk with Jesus and His unforced rhythms of grace.
That’s The Outrider.
Jesus is the Hero.
We learn to ride with Him.
