Meet the Founder

Tommy Hendler

Founder of Be Inspired Ministries · MBA · Senior Military Leader · Bible Teacher

My faith journey has not been a straight line, but God has used every step, in service, in business, and in the classroom, to shape this ministry.

Why this ministry exists

My faith journey has not been a straight line.

For years I wrestled with questions about God, Scripture, and what it truly means to follow Christ. Along the way I worshiped alongside believers from many traditions, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, non-denominational, and Baptist, and each one deepened my love for the whole body of Christ. I also sensed God calling me to teach His Word, and for a long time I felt completely unqualified and found every reason to avoid it.

When I finally surrendered, a reluctant step of obedience became a passion. Today I teach, preach, and create Christian content to encourage believers and point people to Christ. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s in Theology through Liberty University, with plans to earn a Master of Divinity, not simply to gain knowledge, but to be better equipped to faithfully teach God’s Word.

Outside the pulpit, I have served for more than eighteen years as a senior military leader, much of that time counseling others through the biggest decisions of their lives. I hold an MBA, am a certified leadership trainer, and have built and led organizations of my own. That mix of servant leadership, counseling, and lifelong learning is the same heart I bring here: meet people where they are, and walk with them toward what God has next.

I am a member of a Southern Baptist church, but my heart for ministry reaches Christians of every background. My goal is not to promote a denomination. It is to promote Jesus Christ, encourage believers in their walk with Him, and help people understand the Bible more deeply.

God often calls ordinary people who feel unqualified, then equips them through obedience.My prayer is that this ministry encourages you to draw closer to Him and discover the purpose He has for your life.
