Are You Sacrificing What Matters Most?

Are You Sacrificing What Matters Most?

You've built a career. Reached the milestones. Achieved what others dream of.


But in quiet moments, you ask yourself:

  • Is my family getting my best, or just what's left?
  • Am I building a legacy, or just a larger bank account?
  • Why does success feel increasingly hollow?
  • Who really understands this journey?


You're not alone. After 40 years of working with men, we've discovered a truth:


Without strong foundations, success becomes regret.


Pillars is here to change that.

Real Stories, Real Transformation

From Success to Significance

John Doe's Image
"As the Vice President of Sales and Solutions for a rapidly growing software implementation firm, my faith in Christ has been a guiding force in both my leadership and decision-making. Relying on His wisdom has helped me lead with integrity, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose. In a fast-paced, results-driven industry, my Christian faith has given me the ability to stay calm under pressure and approach every challenge with a mindset of service and excellence. Christ's teachings inspire me to build authentic relationships with clients and my team, fostering collaboration and trust. His presence has reinforced my commitment to ethical business practices and empowered me to make decisions that honor both my professional responsibilities and my values. Faith has not only been essential to my success but also to creating a positive, values-driven culture within our firm. I am especially grateful for Stan Saunders, whose guidance and support have greatly helped me in my growth as a Christian."

"What qualifies someone to speak into the life of another? To advise someone in leadership? Provide quality marriage and family insights? Inspire others to meaningful friendships?

The answer is simple. It is the person who has learned, lived, proven, and mastered the key components of our most important human interactions. Relational prowess is vital to fostering heartfelt and lifelong relationships.

Stan Saunders has been one of my closest friends since 1983 and still is until today. We’ve been together through the toughest times and shared equally in life’s most wonderful moments. I’ve personally witnessed his successes as a husband, father, leader, and friend.

The proven fruit of a person’s life gives one the credibility and authority to coach and advise others. Stan is in a season of life having experience, fruitfulness, and relatability that qualifies him to empower others to live their best lives, build strong relationships, and live without regrets.

Aside from a man’s relationship with God and his wife, one of the most important pillars a man can pursue is meaningful friendships. In this, there is strength, power, excellence, and fulfillment.

Stan has been my friend for 40+ years. My life is better for it. I believe his life is as well."

"Stan Saunders is a rare leader who seamlessly blends business acumen, faith, and personal integrity to inspire transformation in high-achieving men. I’ve known Stan since our Bible college days in the early ‘80s, and his unwavering commitment to God’s Kingdom, visionary leadership, and ability to cultivate success—both in ministry and business—continue to inspire me. His vision for those who aspire to high achievement includes retreats that are more than just an experience; they are a catalyst for lasting growth in business, character, emotions, and relationships. I’m honored to stand with him in this mission."

Frequently Asked Questions

    How much time should I expect to commit?

        Beyond the retreat and 50-minute bi-monthly sessions, plan to spend as much time daily as is necessary to accomplish your personal goals (15-60 minutes). You will also have an opportunity to join a week-long mission trip to Thailand and the end of the cohort, at your own expense.

    What makes Pillars different from other programs?

        Unlike typical leadership programs, Pillars combines transformative experiences with long-term brotherhood support. This isn't a one-time event—it's a year-long journey of growth and accountability.

    Can I bring business partners or friends?

        Yes, many men find the journey more impactful when shared with trusted colleagues. However, each participant must apply individually.

    What's included in the mountain retreat?

        Everything is covered: all accommodations, meals, activities, and materials. Just bring yourself and an open mind.

    How are the cohorts structured?

        Each cohort is intentionally limited to ensure deep connections and personal attention. You'll likely form closer bonds with 3-4 men while benefiting from the broader brotherhood.

    What if I can't make all the bi-monthly sessions?

        While we encourage full participation, we record all sessions and provide resources to help you stay connected and on track.

    Do you offer payment plans?

        Yes, we offer flexible payment arrangements to help you invest in your legacy. Details are discussed during your discovery call.
