Our Story

Hope, Brotherhood,
and Becoming

Steel and Stone Ministries was born from real stories — stories of hope, healing, brotherhood, and learning to trust God in the middle of the process.

Where It Started

Hope Over Coffee Came First

Before Steel and Stone Ministries, there was Hope Over Coffee — a place born from honest conversations, personal struggle, and the belief that hope can still be found in the middle of the process.

It began from a real place in my own life. For a long time, I wrestled with thoughts like, “If you really knew me, you wouldn’t love me.” I struggled with self-worth, feeling like a burden, and seeing God as far off, stern, and maybe even uninterested in the details of my life.

But that picture of God is changing in me. I am learning to lean into sonship and trust my Heavenly Father. I do not have it all figured out, but I keep moving. Sometimes we have to do it scared.

I do not have it all figured out, but I keep moving. Sometimes we have to do it scared.

The Bridge

From Hope to Brotherhood

What began as a place for honest conversations grew into a deeper burden — to see men strengthened, sharpened, healed, and connected through biblical brotherhood.

01

Hope

Real conversations that remind people they are not alone, even in the middle of the process.

02

Brotherhood

Men walking together, sharpening one another in truth, courage, prayer, and accountability.

03

Foundation

Lives built on Jesus Christ, the solid Stone, instead of shame, fear, isolation, or performance.

Learning to Trust the Father

Jared’s story is one of learning to trust God as Father after seasons of wrestling with self-worth, fear, and feeling like a burden.

Anthony Nunnally

Strength, Faith, and Brotherhood

Anthony Nunnally serves as Co-Founder and Vice President of Steel and Stone Ministries, helping lead the mission to strengthen men through faith, brotherhood, and biblical truth.

Anthony carries a heart for men who are trying to walk faithfully in the middle of real life — men who want to lead well, grow spiritually, and become stronger in Christ.

His story is in part being a baby Christian for a long time. One that waited, and relied on others to feed him, to someone that can feed his self. This crated a deep commitment to help other men to choose to grow and to grow others around them. Through Steel and Stone Ministries, Anthony helps create space for men to be sharpened, encouraged, challenged, and reminded that they do not have to walk alone.

As Vice President, Anthony stands alongside the vision of building men on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ and helping them grow into the husbands, fathers, leaders, and servants God has called them to be.

“If God can give a donkey the ability to speak, and speak intelligently (Numbers22:28-30), then what can He do with me if I let Him?”
