Let’s talk about foundations. Not the kind that holds up a house—the kind that holds up your life. That could be faith, values, mindset all the above or anything in between—whatever it is that keeps you grounded and moving forward, it all starts there with knowing the why. The foundation. Now, let’s learn how to build a strong foundation.
Jason Collins, one of the incredible counselors here at The Pursuit, knows this better than most. Whether he’s helping couples rebuild their connection, walking veterans through life after service, or guiding someone out of the grips of addiction, Jason’s approach is the same: build a foundation that can weather life’s storms.
And trust us—if you’re looking for someone who can help you do just that, Jason Collins is your guy.
Solid as They Come
When you meet Jason Collins, one word comes to mind: solid.
He’s the guy who shows up and stays steady, no matter what’s going on. The one you’d pick first in a pickup basketball game because you know he’ll bring consistency, heart, and make everyone around him better. That’s the Jason Collins way—not just on the court (or at the grill), but in life and in his counseling practice.
With over 20 years of experience as a teaching pastor and pastoral counselor, Jason Collins knows the power of a good foundation. “Whether you’re healing from trauma, working on your marriage, or overcoming addiction, it all starts with your mindset,” he says. “If your foundation is strong, you’re more open to growth and ready for what’s next.”
And Jason? He’s there to help you strengthen that foundation every step of the way.
The Faith and Mindset Connection
Jason Collins brings a unique perspective to his work. As a pastor, he’s spent years helping people bridge the gap between their faith and their real-world struggles. He understands that mindset isn’t just about positive thinking; it’s about what you’re building on.
For Jason, faith often plays a big role in that. “Faith gives you something steady to hold onto when everything else feels like it’s falling apart,” he says. “But even if faith isn’t your thing, having a foundation—your values, your belief in yourself, your commitment to growth—can change everything.”
It’s this blend of wisdom, empathy, and practicality that makes Jason Collins such an incredible counselor. He doesn’t just tell you to trust the process—he walks it with you.
Jason Collins: Girl Dad Extraordinaire
When Jason Collins isn’t counseling with The Pursuit or serving as a pastor in his dual career, he’s fully immersed in his role as a devoted “girl dad” and family man.
Picture this: Jason cheering from the stands at a swim meet, helping his high school senior sort through college applications, or making sure his grad school daughter’s car is road-trip ready. He’s there for the big milestones, the little moments, and everything in between.
And when he’s not rocking the dad life? You’ll find him by the grill, hosting a pool day with family and friends, a game on in the background. Jason Collins loves good food, good company, and a life that’s built on connection. He’s proof that strength doesn’t have to mean rigid. It can look like balance, kindness, and the ability to show up when it matters most.
The Secret to 28 Years of Marriage: It’s No Accident
Let’s talk about Jason’s 28-year marriage—a milestone that doesn’t just “happen.” A relationship like that isn’t built on chance or luck. For Jason and his wife, their marriage is built on a strong foundation of shared values and intentional connection. For them, that foundation is their faith. It keeps them walking through life in the same direction, aligned in purpose, and growing closer together with each step.
Early in their relationship, they embraced the image of a triangle to symbolize this journey: the two of them at the bottom corners and their faith at the top. The closer they move toward that shared focus, the closer they grow to each other.
While Jason and his wife’s foundation is their faith, the heart of this idea applies to every relationship: finding your shared anchor—whether it’s a set of values, a common goal, or a sense of mutual purpose—and letting it guide you. When you’re connected to what matters most, you naturally grow closer to one another.
Why Foundations Matter
Jason Collins knows that growth doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by design. And the design starts with what you’re building on.
When you’re rebuilding after addiction, repairing your marriage, or figuring out who you are after military service, the cracks in your foundation can show up in a big way. Jason’s job is to help you identify those cracks and create something strong enough to hold the weight of your next chapter.
And here’s the thing: Jason isn’t the kind of guy who’s going to take over your journey. He’s the teammate who makes sure you’re steady on your feet, ready to take the next step, and confident in the process.
