Over the Edge is a group of guys from all walks of life who are on the journey, just like you.

Over the Edge was co-founded by Brian Plachta, a spiritual director and Roman Catholic lay ecclesial minister and Nathaniel “Than” Johnson, ordained clergy in the United Methodist Church.

We are men from all faith traditions or no faith tradition---men who have been searching for something deeper within ourselves but are tired of “plastic answers” that may lift us up for a while but don’t sustain us over time.

We are guys who are getting beyond “gritting our teeth and bearing it”... getting beyond society’s labels and expectations... getting beyond the “man code” that limits our communication with other men to just the “safe” stuff: work, women, cars and sports. We’re a group of men seeking deeper meaning and communication with one another and ultimately with God.

God didn’t intend for men to lead lonely, isolated lives, white-knuckling it by ourselves. Over the Edge is a ministry by guys, for guys, who have realized that we can’t walk the journey alone.

We need others to walk with us – to share experiences – to listen – to encourage – so we can find the voice of God within each of us. It’s through this kind of community that we learn to connect with God in us... that we reach the center of our True Self.
