The Desert Strength Story
Desert Strength was founded by Dallas McClain in 2025. After his father’s sudden death and feeling the increasing noise of the secular world, Dallas retreated to reset and come to terms with the meaning in all this. A devout Catholic, Dallas felt the Holy Spirit guiding him to another calling. After some deep study and prayerful discernment, he felt inspired to start a wellness company rooted in Faith, Asceticism, and foundational biology and exercise. Read more about Dallas below.



The Desert Strength Logo
This logo is full of meaning around every curve. The First thing of course that stands out is the cross. The ‘T’ portion of the cross is called the ‘Tau’ Cross (like the letter ‘T’ in the Greek Alphabet). Also known as the Cross of Saint Anthony of the Desert, the original Desert Father of the Church, the Tau cross’ simple form reminds believers to live humbly, focusing on God’s will and serving others, especially the marginalized. The ‘head’ on top of the Cross represents Jesus Christ, the head of the Church and who we should all look to when carrying our crosses towards salvation and virtue. The Ox skull represents ‘Asceticism’, the practice of self-denial and abstaining from worldly pleasures. It involves rigorous self-discipline, including fasting, renunciation of possessions, and other forms of self-mortification. We must die to our instinctual thoughts of vices in order to truly master ourselves. To truly live and be free, we must die in a sense to our pride, reckless passions, shadowy distractions, and hedonistic pleasures. Only then can we experience the full joy and beauty that God wants to share with us.
“The words ‘flee’, ‘be silent’ and ‘pray’ summarize the spirituality of the Desert…Solitude is the place of purification and transformation, the place of the great struggle and the great encounter.” – Henri J.M. Nouwen
