WELCOME TO NO LONGER I MINISTRIES
You Can Stop Trying So Hard
You are not failing your family. You are just exhausted from fighting battles in your own strength. It is time to surrender the heavy lifting to Him and finally find the rest you have been praying for.
No pressure. Just a real conversation.
I Sat Exactly Where
You Are Sitting
"I carried the badge for twenty years, but the hardest battles weren't on the streets. They were in my own living room."
I lost a daughter. I nearly lost my marriage. I carried wounds for four decades, trying to fix everything in my own strength until there was nothing left but surrender.
I am not standing on a stage preaching down to you. I am just a man who found out that when we finally stop trying to hold it all together, grace does the heavy lifting. If you are exhausted from trying harder, pull up a chair. You are in the right place.

The No Longer I Podcast
Listen to the Heartbeat
Pull up a chair. In these episodes, we're having raw, unfiltered conversations about faith, marriage, and family. It's just you and me talking about what it really takes to break generational cycles and let Christ live through us in the messy, everyday trenches.
Grace in Action
"We were living like roommates in a warzone, exhausted from trying to fix each other. Curtis didn't give us another communication technique; he pointed us to the cross where our striving could finally die. Today, our home isn't just quiet: it’s full of a peace we never thought possible."

Speaking & Events
Beyond the Kitchen Table
Men's Ministry: Discipline & Grace
I spent twenty years in the military and law enforcement. I know what discipline looks like. But discipline alone won't save your marriage or your family. We need Galatians 2:20—Christ living through us. When I speak to men's groups, we don't do surface-level motivation. We talk about the real trenches of leadership, fatherhood, and surrendering our strength so God can actually use it.
Marriage Workshops: Rebuilding the Foundation
There was a time when my own marriage was cracking under the weight of my pride and exhaustion. I know the silent tension in the living room. Our workshops aren't about trying harder to be a better spouse; they are about dismantling the cycles that are destroying your home and letting grace rebuild it from the studs up. Bring me to your church or community, and let's get to work.
Tangible Tools for Home
Equipping the Next Generation
True healing often happens away from the church building, right in the middle of your living room. These books, games, and structured conversation tools are designed to help you connect with your kids and preteens, making space for grace, play, and honest truth at home.
Tabletop Truths
A card game designed to bypass the awkwardness and get your family talking, laughing, and sharing real struggles in a safe space.
The Identity Journal
A guided workbook for preteens struggling to figure out who they are, helping them anchor their identity in Christ instead of culture.
Bedtime Foundations
A simple, low-pressure devotional book for young children that focuses on grace and peace rather than rules and performance.
CLARITY BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Honest Questions, Honest Answers
“I know you've tried other programs, read the books, and maybe even felt like you failed. This isn't about giving you a heavier to-do list or telling you to ‘try harder.’ It’s about learning to surrender. If you're wondering how this actually works, let's talk about it.”
— Curtis Smith
Is this just another self-help course?
No. Self-help relies on your own strength, which is probably what got you exhausted in the first place. This is about Galatians 2:20—stepping out of the way and allowing Christ's grace to rebuild your family from the inside out.
I'm worried my spouse won't be on board. Can I still do this?
Absolutely. Restoration often starts with just one willing heart. You don't have to drag anyone along. We'll focus on your own healing and surrender, and trust God to work on the rest of the house in His timing.
How does the coaching actually work?
We meet online, face-to-face, in a space that feels like sitting at my kitchen table. We talk honestly about where you're stuck, look at what the Word says, and take practical, grace-filled steps forward. No religious performance required.
What if I feel like I've messed up my family too much already?
I've been exactly where you are, feeling like I broke things beyond repair. But I can tell you firsthand that God specializes in resurrecting dead things. Your past mistakes don't disqualify you from the peace He promised.
Is this for couples, or can individuals join?
Both. I work with couples who want to rebuild together, single parents navigating the trenches alone, and individuals seeking to break generational cycles before they start a family. Everyone's welcome at the table.
THE KITCHEN TABLE
Come on in and
Sit a While
I know what it's like to carry a weight you think you have to hide. To smile on Sunday morning while everything is cracking behind closed doors.
You don't have to perform here. There is no judgment at this table - only a listening ear and the grace of Jesus. Tell me what's weighing on you right now. Let's start the conversation.
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."
Galatians 2:20
