About Us | NW Authentic Manhood

Hi, my name is Vince Hursh. I have been married for 27 years to my wife, Shannon, and have been blessed with 3 daughters. Two are married and now we are enjoying a granddaughter.
Authentic Manhood has played a vital part in shaping my attitude and vision for my role as a husband and father. I have valued intention conversations with both of my sons-in-law.

Vince Hursh

Husband, father of 3 boys, and nurse by day. I'm married to Lisa and I enjoy cheering her on while she stays young & adventurous with running and cross country skiing. Someone’s gotta be on the sidelines drinking coffee!

I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping and watching my boys in whatever activity they are involved in.

Hi, I'm Brendan Fouts, I've been married to my wife, Sara, for 25 years and we have six children. I am active member in our church, community, coaching several youth sports; softball, baseball, and basketball.
Without strong and faithful men, society and the future of our great nation falls. We are seeing the affects of this today. But the hope is in our faith. God did not send a weak man, he sent his Son, Jesus, humble and strong.

Stay Humble, Stay Strong

Hey, I'm Trevor, the Outreach Director at Hope City Church in Duluth. I love building relationships and helping others grow deeper in the abilities God has given them. My passion for basketball and my love of people has brought me to spending many years training, coaching, and mentoring others in the sport. You can often find me enjoying any time I can get with my beautiful wife Sabrina and our two wonderful kiddos.

My wife Christie, our 2 boys, and I are relatively new to the Maple area. We are looking forward to getting more involved and working through the Authentic Manhood study.

Being a good man is…difficult. To be a good man, it is imperative that we focus on Jesus and the authentic example and the sacrifice that he provides for us.”

Laurence Charlier

My wife, Chris, and I have six children and five young grandchildren to keep us on our toes. This is my 10th year as the Technology and Engineering teacher at the high school.
I am looking forward to participating in this community as we study to pursue biblical understanding of God’s design for us as men exemplified in the life of Jesus.
