Kris McFadden Sr. is a leader, thinker, and practitioner committed to helping people see reality as it truly is — before the face of God. He works at the intersection of classical Christian theology, metaphysics, spiritual formation, and real-world leadership, equipping people to live with clarity, courage, and purpose in every sphere of life.

Kris holds a Bachelor of Science from East Stroudsburg University, a Master of Arts in Religion (Old Testament) from Evangelical Theological Seminary, and an MBA in Healthcare Management from Liberty University.

As President & CEO of Ascend Ministries Group, the Naaman Network, and Pennsylvania Adult & Teen Challenge, Kris leads organizations dedicated to transformation — helping individuals and communities move from addiction, disorder, and despair into wholeness, hope, and stability.

In recent years, Kris’s work has expanded into the deeper foundations of the Christian life: the reality of God as the ground of all being, the Creator–creature distinction, human dependence, spiritual formation, and the ontological dynamics that shape identity, leadership, and renewal.

Out of this journey, he created EverySphereOfLife.com — a platform designed to integrate theology, leadership, family discipleship, athletic development, and daily formation into one coherent way of being. The project exists to help ordinary people live truthfully, humbly, and courageously in the presence of God.

His passion is simple:
To form people who understand God, themselves, and the world — and who live with steady, Spirit-empowered dependence in every moment and every sphere of life.

MISSION & GOAL

Every Sphere:  Spiritual Formation Focus

Introduction

In recent years, I’ve watched God transform this ministry in ways I never expected. He opened doors in Kensington, Harrisburg, and among people facing deep homelessness and addiction—communities that are heavier and more complex than we have served before. These environments require more from us spiritually.

Under pressure, that lack of grounding shows up as anxiety, confusion, and exhaustion—people carrying burdens they were never meant to carry alone. When that happens, the organization struggles too: decision-making becomes less steady, mistakes increase, and the quality of our care can suffer.

As God leads us toward His vision we must strengthen our spiritual foundation.

Purpose

This effort is meant to create a simple, intentional rhythm of spiritual formation that helps us grow in a steady and practical way. I want to give you a framework for walking with God in your daily work—one that brings clarity, calm, and confidence. This is about shaping who we are as individuals so we can serve from a healthier, more grounded place.

Primary Objectives

1. Build a Shared Foundation of Spiritual Formation

Give individuals a simple but solid framework for walking with God in everyday life and leadership, equipping them to serve from a healthier place.

2. Create a Consistent Rhythm of Formation

Provide individuals a brief daily rhythm via email, text or other reflection—supported by the “Every Sphere of Life” website—that helps us grow little by little.

3. Help Leaders Model Humility, Dependence, and Authenticity

Develop leaders who create safety, show humility, and depend on God in practical ways by encouraging others to engage personally with the content and allow it to shape how they speak and lead—not as a script, but as part of who they are. 

4. Build a More Aligned and Resilient Organization

Form a steady, spiritually aware culture that can sustain the work God is calling us into. This is a long-term journey. Over time, I want us to develop a common way of thinking and being—one that keeps us grounded through difficulty and future growth.
 

Guiding Principles

• Invitation, not pressure: This should feel like an open door, not an expectation.
• Small steps over time: Real formation is slow and steady.
• Leaders go first: Culture changes through example.
• Long-term growth: This is about depth, not quick results.
