EDITOR’S NOTE: This feature story on Texas Businessman Andrew Landry was originally published by Catholic Magazine.
And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. (Revelation 12:11 NKJV)
LEADING BY EXAMPLE
HUMBLE, Texas — Andrew Landry’s immeasurable empowerment resume is such that he’s all about men from various walks of life striving to keep it real, particularly regarding pivotal matters that greatly shape and enhance their lives — one way or the other.
That is why in 2018, Landry deemed it necessary to establish Where Men Hurt, his credible Humble, Texas-based, empowerment-focused nonprofit organization that customarily provides a life-altering platform for men to discuss real life issues from the comfortable confines of what he appropriately describes as a safe nonjudgmental setting.
According to Landry, Where Men Hurt was birthed primarily out by way of his featured book Overcoming The Addiction That No One Has, his awe-inspiring, informative written work that officially made its ceremonious debut in March 2018.
ABOUT WHERE MEN HURT: https://wheremenhurt.org/
By January 2019, Landry’s Where Men Hurt had finally come full circle and, to his credit, has steadily become a massive game-changer for like-minded men who are destined to become better versions of themselves.
“From (my organization’s) inception, I have a passion for helping all people to get to a better place in life, but the primary focus is men,” Landry, a native of Baytown, Texas, told Catholic Magazine.
Interestingly enough, Landry established Where Men Hurt, in large part because at one point in time, he had become knowledgeable of the notion that men often shy away from being transparent and vulnerable which, as he bluntly acknowledged, is what it took for him to be “healed and whole.”
THUS SAID THE LORD
In essence, Where Men Hurt is designed to offer a variety of opportunities for men to meet in what Landry refers to as a “safe,” unprejudiced setting, during which they collectively discuss various issues of life, many of which subsequently helped them to build solid, impactful relationships, all the while inheriting accountability partners to gain freedom.
Moreover, Landry emphasized, when asked about the philosophy behind Where Men Hurt: “The idea (for this organization) is to provide men an avenue to express freely, get an understanding that they are not alone, and stop promoting the idea that we must suffer in silence.
“My biggest inspiration is an idea that men can be healed whole and complete,” Landry, an accomplished Texas entrepreneur, continued. “The most enjoyable part of what I do is seeing men grow and seek tools to be better.”
Not only that, Landry’s Where Men Hurt has become a fixture for strategically providing education, particularly with regards to finance, mental health, and personal development, he said.
“The message I would present is there is a place for men, a safe place where he can express, vent, cry, or celebrate without judgement,” Landry told Catholic.
