Who We Are.

Our Mission

Righteous Savages have a calling. You may be called to be one, or you just don't know it yet, but you can feel the inspiration. We are Americans who have compassion for every single soul on the planet, coming from a love for God, and a desire to do the right thing, doing what has to be done. That is the Righteous part. Love everyone like you would love yourself (Mark 12:31).

At the exact same time we have a deep love for all humanity, there is a place inside of us that is able to bring to bear the most savage use of force against those who desire to bring evil unto us and our families. We do not go looking for trouble. We try to avoid it at nearly all costs. However, if anyone tries to bring deadly force amongst us, the most unimaginable things are going to descend on these evildoers.

Our goal is to motivate and inspire Americans to stop living in the shadows of their faith, and boldly step up. Be compassionate. Be vulnerable. Be a Righteous Savage!
