His dedication and love for Jesus is something that we all hope our children have when they grow up. Having Jace in our son’s life has played a pivotal role in our Sons walk with the Lord.

Feeling Lost, Young Man?

It's Time to Discover Your God-Given Path and Become the Man You're Meant To Be.

The Battle Within

Are you standing at a crossroads, feeling the weight of expectations, the pressure to figure it all out right now? You're not alone. Everywhere you look, it seems like everyone else has it figured out.

Social media is flooded with highlight reels, friends seem to have their futures mapped out, and the pressure from school, family, and even yourself feels like it's closing in.

The Voices of Doubt

Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?

  • What am I even supposed to do with my life that truly matters to God?
  • I feel like I'm just drifting further from God's plan, going through the motions of the world.
  • Everyone else seems so confident in themselves, but I'm just… lost spiritually.
  • Is there even a point to faith? What's my eternal purpose?
  • I want something more, something deeper than this world offers, but I don't know where to find it in God.
  • I wish I had someone who understood my spiritual struggle, someone who could guide me closer to Christ.

If these thoughts resonate with you, you're in the right place. It's time to silence the doubt and discover your true potential.

Your Journey Begins Here

You're not broken.
You're not failing.
You're just…
searching.

And that search is holy. It's a sign that you're ready for something more. You're ready to break free from the confusion, the insecurity, and the feeling of being lost at sea.

A wise man reading an ancient scroll, representing guidance and wisdom

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11

But what if there was a roadmap?

What if there was a guide who could help you navigate these turbulent waters and discover the strong, confident, and purposeful man you were always meant to be?

Imagine this:

  • Waking up each day with clarity and direction, knowing exactly what you're working towards.
  • Feeling a deep sense of confidence, not based on fleeting trends, but on a solid foundation of faith and self-worth.
  • Overcoming those nagging insecurities and finally feeling "good enough" – not for anyone else, but for yourself and for God.
  • Discovering your unique purpose, the very reason you were put on this earth, and feeling the excitement of living it out.
  • Building genuine connections with other young men who are on a similar journey, forming a brotherhood of support and encouragement.

This isn't just a dream. It's the promise of David's Academy.

Stop Drifting.
Start Driving.

David's Academy is an 8-week transformative journey designed to empower you through personalized mentorship, a supportive Christian brotherhood, and practical, biblically-based guidance at every step.

Coach Jace Sheppard
Meet Your Coach

Jace Sheppard

Hi, I'm Jace, founder of David's Academy—your mentor, cheerleader, and guide through this 8-week transformation. Growing up surrounded by questions of identity, faith, and purpose, I know the loneliness and frustration that come when you feel like you just don't measure up or don't know what's next.

My Mission

To help young men discover God's heart for them, build genuine confidence, and take control of their future with a sense of purpose and direction.

My Approach

I blend real-world, practical coaching (time management, goal setting, leadership skills) with unshakeable Christian foundation. In our sessions, we'll discuss everything from "Does God really see me?" to "How do I overcome fear and set meaningful goals?"

Personal Note

I've walked this path—now I want to walk with you as you become the man you're meant to be.

8-Week Journey
to Godly Manhood

Each week addresses the core challenges of identity, purpose, and leadership. You'll explore who you are, your mission, and how to navigate a confusing world with confidence. We'll Transform Your Life, Eternally.

How It Works

8-week spiritual experience. Mentorship, community, biblical guidance.

Weekly 1-Hour Zoom Sessions

Gather with like-minded young men every Wednesday evening for teaching, group discussion, and prayer.

Our weekly sessions are the heart of the program. You'll connect with peers, dive deep into biblical teachings, and engage in meaningful discussions that challenge and inspire you.

3 Personal Coaching Calls

You'll also get three one-on-one calls with Jace over the 8 weeks, where we'll tackle your specific questions and action steps.

These personalized sessions are your chance to dig into your unique challenges and goals. Jace will provide tailored guidance and accountability to keep you on track.

Daily Text Mentorship (Monday–Friday)

Receive daily inspiration, accountability nudges, and check-ins—so you never feel alone on this journey.

Start each day with a boost of motivation and end it with reflection. These daily touchpoints keep you connected and focused on your growth throughout the week.

Parent Updates (Twice a Week)

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we loop parents in on key themes and ways they can support you without hovering or overwhelming.

We believe in the power of family support. These updates help your parents understand your journey and provide them with tools to encourage you effectively.

Community & "Fun Factor"

Stay connected via our Discord channel, meet up for optional group outings (bowling, gym sessions, dinners—wherever you feel comfortable), and experience the power of supportive friendship.

Building strong, positive friendships is crucial. Our community events and Discord channel create opportunities for you to form lasting bonds with like-minded peers.

Certificate & Next Steps

At the end of eight weeks, celebrate what you've overcome and discovered with a Certificate of Kingdom Completion. Plus, you'll have the option to continue with monthly coaching for ongoing growth.

Your journey doesn't end after 8 weeks. We'll celebrate your progress and provide clear next steps to continue your growth, including optional monthly coaching sessions.

Lives Transformed by Christ

Hear from young men who have experienced the impact of David's Academy.

"Before David's Academy, I felt like I was just wandering aimlessly. School was stressful, and I had no idea what I wanted to do after graduation. Jace's coaching helped me finally see a path forward. Now I have goals, I have direction, and I actually feel excited about my future for the first time in a long time."

Ethan R.
Age 17

"I used to be so insecure and worried about what everyone else thought. David's Academy helped me understand my worth in God's eyes. Jace is an amazing mentor – he really listens and cares. I'm so much more confident now, and I finally feel like I can be myself."

Caleb J.
Age 16

"I grew up in church, but my faith felt kind of… empty. David's Academy helped me connect with God in a real way. I discovered a purpose that's bigger than myself, and it's changed everything. I'm so grateful for Jace and this program."

Age 18

Soul-Searching Questions?

Yes, David's Academy is built on Christian principles and values, but it's designed to be welcoming and relevant to young men from all backgrounds, even if you aren't currently deeply religious. The focus is on universal values like integrity, purpose, service, and personal growth, all viewed through a Christian worldview.

You can expect to spend approximately 2-3 hours per week on David's Academy. This includes the 1-hour weekly Zoom meeting, your 30-minute one-on-one coaching session, engaging with daily text messages, and participating in the Discord community. The time commitment is designed to be manageable for busy young men.

While attending the live Zoom meetings is highly recommended for the group dynamic and interaction, we understand that conflicts can arise. Recordings of the Zoom meetings will be made available to participants, so you won't miss out on the core content. However, we encourage you to prioritize attending live whenever possible to maximize your experience.

Once you enroll, you'll receive a link to schedule your three 30-minute one-on-one coaching sessions with Jace at times that work for you throughout the 8-week program. We offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your busy schedule.

After completing David's Academy, you'll have the option to join our exclusive monthly coaching program for ongoing support, accountability, and community. This is a fantastic way to maintain your momentum and continue your growth journey. Details about the monthly program will be shared during Week 8.

We are confident that David's Academy will provide immense value to you. However, if you participate fully in the first two weeks of the program, attend the Zoom meetings, and complete the assigned activations, and still feel that it's not the right fit for you, we offer a partial refund (e.g., 50%). We want you to feel confident in your decision to invest in yourself.
