What happens when faith, family, fitness, and finance collide?

Forget boardroom meetings and power lunches—this is not your typical leadership retreat. At a peaceful yet intense gathering, men from all walks of life come together, not just to discuss profit margins but to face a challenge that pushes them beyond their limits. This is what transpires at Rise Up Kings—a faith-based boot camp that does not follow the rules. Founded by Skylar Lewis in 2020, Rise Up Kings is rewriting the playbook for personal development with a hard-hitting mix of faith, discipline, and no-excuses grit.

Where Faith Meets Fierce Transformation

Rise Up Kings is not an ordinary business coaching program—it is a battlefield. Participants are learning how to succeed and reclaim their lives. This is a wake-up call, a spiritual overhaul that flips the script on traditional growth. “We don’t just teach business strategies. We guide men to reconnect with their purpose, strengthen their faith, and build a legacy that goes way beyond the bottom line,” says Lewis.

In a multi-billion dollar coaching industry, Rise Up Kings cuts through the noise by focusing on more than mere profits. It emphasizes leading with integrity while juggling the demands of faith, family, fitness, and finance—turning conventional success on its head.

The Four Pillars of Rebirth

This movement is rooted in four key areas: faith, family, fitness, and finance. A personal awakening, not a profit motive, inspired the launch of Rise Up Kings. “I had the success, the money, the recognition—but I was empty,” Lewis admits. “I was losing sight of what really mattered: my faith, my family, my health.”

That realization led to the birth of a nationwide movement where men become better businessmen and, more importantly, better men. They emerge from this experience more driven, focused, and purposeful than ever before.

Breaking the Mold of Corporate Leadership

As burnout and ethical scandals plague corporate culture, Rise Up Kings offers a sharp contrast. It redefines leadership, replacing hollow success with values and purpose. Graduates of this program take what they have learned back to their companies, transforming toxic work environments into spaces driven by ethics and integrity.

“When leaders prioritize faith, family, and integrity, we see businesses thriving in ways they never imagined,” says Lewis. Studies show that companies with values-driven leadership outperform their competitors in employee satisfaction and productivity. Rise Up Kings is right on time for a corporate world hungry for leaders who are profit-oriented and stand for something bigger.

Integrity Above All Else

Approaching its fifth anniversary in 2025, Rise Up Kings is still growing, but its mission to inspire men to lead with integrity has only strengthened. More men are joining with every retreat, ready to rise as warriors of faith and purpose.

“Besides building successful businessmen, we’re building stronger husbands, fathers, and leaders,” says Lewis. “This is about creating a lasting legacy—one that goes far beyond the office.”

With its unorthodox, intense boot camp and focus on faith, Rise Up Kings is smashing through the norms of personal development and changing lives, one man at a time.
