Our story

Why we started Fired Together

Fired Together grew out of two callings meeting at one kitchen table: the strategic planning Jeremy learned leading soldiers and organizations, and the pastoral care Molly has given congregations and communities for years.

PLACEHOLDER: Family story: years married, children, the moment the idea for Fired Together began, and a season you were “fired together.” (2–3 short paragraphs.)

“In the absence of a shared struggle, components drift apart.”
A leadership lesson from the Fired Together notes

That lesson holds for platoons, boardrooms, and homes. Our work is to help you find the shared struggle worth fighting together, then build a plan around it.

The people behind the framework

Two guides, two fires

A strategist’s discipline and a pastor’s heart, the forge and the kiln, side by side.
