welcome to
the community!
We are so glad you are here! Armor is a community of people dedicated to pursuing a sound mind together.
In today's world, being isolated from community is easier and more convenient than ever. Through this isolation trend, our society has paid a heavy price mentally with global anxiety levels increasing by 25% after the pandemic.
On July 24, 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt first used the term 'Dire Straits' to describe those who were put out of work during the Great Depression. Although we are not in a financial depression, we do find ourselves in an actual Great Depression.
At Armor, we're on mission to do something about that as we are working build a community rooted in love, security, trust, and vulnerability — one that struggles, heals, and celebrates victories together!
Through building a community rooted in these foundational aspects, our goal is to create an environment where we feel safe, accepted and valued enough to show our scars and pursue healing.
The foundation of our mission is our faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that we can provide the world with an answer to its increasing issue of a reprobate mind. Through our efforts to spread His fame, we will see the global mental health crisis take a turn towards recovering the mind and restoring faith in a God who made it.
We're excited to stand with you and, together, experience freedom in our minds!
Backstory
Armor started in a 900 square foot apartment in midtown of Atlanta, GA during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. A pandemic that none of us were ready for physically and, most importantly, mentally.
As a trainer for 4 years, my job is to prepare people to fight for themselves in many ways. Fighting complacency, fighting for joy, fighting for health, fighting for family, the list is long.
The fight I have faced with anxiety and depression is one that I was not prepared for. It was in the darkest moments of my life, on my kitchen floor, that Jesus Christ shared His heart for those that are in mental health battles. And I believe there’s more of us than we think.
Whether you are reading this from a dark place or not, it’s unfortunately not if but when. And when our minds come under attack, we stand together!
