Not your average preacher. Pastor David Ashley is a battle-tested leader forged in two arenas most men never master—the weight room and the Word of God. With over 35 years in the fitness industry, he’s built bodies. With master’s degrees in both Apologetics and Divinity, he builds souls. And when he steps into the pulpit—or onto the gym floor—he’s not handing out cotton candy and clichés. He’s calling men to war.
Known as The Pastor of Pump, David is a rare breed: a man who trains both physical discipline and spiritual resilience. He believes the Church doesn’t need more soft men with soft messages. It needs men who can stand their ground, take a hit, and still speak truth with fire in their bones. He’s here to tear down weak, woke, worldly manhood and rebuild it under the authority of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings.
David’s ministry is straight steel—rooted in Scripture, sharpened by suffering, and aimed at awakening men who’ve grown passive, porn-addicted, or spiritually lazy. He’s not playing games. He’s forging faithful warriors—men who carry crosses, kill sin, and live with holy grit.
If you’re tired of lukewarm Christianity and ready to become a man who can lift heavy, love hard, and lead well—Pastor David Ashley is ready to train you.
