Invite Ron Maxson, Jr. to Speak to Dads, Wives, and Couples
Straight truth. No performance. If you're looking for a speaker who will be real with your people, you're in the right place.
Grab your coffee. This is what happens when I speak, and what your group can expect if you invite me.
What Happens When a Room Full of Men Gets Honest
There's a moment in almost every room.
I've stood in front of crowds of thousands and sat in a prayer room of ten. The size changes. The moment doesn't.
It comes when the jokes settle down and the arms uncross. Somebody stops saying "I'm fine." A man who has carried it alone for years finally lets the room know he's tired.
Most dads in that room aren't weak. They're worn.
What Pressure Does
The carbonado is the toughest diamond on earth. It wasn't made in comfort. It was formed under heat and pressure.
A man is no different. Pressure doesn't break what God built to last. It reveals it, and its true strength is only revealed under the cut.
Take This With You, Even If You Never Book Me
Tired isn't failing. Pressure is part of how God forms a man.
Strength isn't silence. The "I'm fine" dad is usually carrying the most.
Prayer isn't passive. It's where a man steadies his marriage, shapes his kids, and builds a legacy that outlives him.
Three Rooms, One Message
I build every talk for the room in front of me. Here's how it works.
For Men: Retreats, breakfasts, father-son events, and prayer gatherings. In "Refined by Pressure," I send a father home with a place to start on the road to becoming a Servant-Leader Dad.
For Women: Women's and moms' gatherings. You can feel something's off with him and can't name it. In "The Weight He Carries," I show what he may be carrying, and how to pray for him and stand with him. Not to fix him. To love him well.
For Couples and Mixed Groups: Marriage events, church-wide gatherings, and leadership summits. I bring both talks together, shaped to who's in the room.
Not My First Rodeo

10 years leading prayer ministries

I don't just motivate. I equip.
