Fighting For Your Heart: Rejecting the Bobble-Head Gospel

Men today are being swallowed by stress, distractions, pressure, and the need to perform.  Meanwhile, their hearts are dying.  They long for so much more.  To find it, we must go back to Jesus authentic call – “Follow me and die to self.”  When we lose ourselves, we find what our hearts have always wanted.

Keynote Address

Becoming a Man of Valor

Men are dying spiritually each and every day because they believe that they are on routine missions as men, husbands, fathers, and spiritual leaders.  We must understand that God has not called His men to routine missions.  Believing that we are involved in routine missions leads men to complacency and makes us easy targets for the enemy.

Raising Godly Young Adults--Not Just Good Teenagers

Nine out of ten Christian families will see their own children leave the church and this generation is not returning as previous generations did.  It is not a hopeless situation that churches and families must accept.  Most churches and youth groups appear to be far more concerned with having “good teenagers” than guiding their young men and women to a clear understanding of God’s plan for “adulthood” and giving them a clear path to follow.  This workshop will help pastors, parents, and leaders understand the power of clear Rites of Passage into adulthood and give them tools to celebrate that critical passage.

Sexual Purity in a XXX Culture

We all live in a hyper sexualized culture which is delivering messages about sexuality, marriage and children which are destructive.  The messages come to us every day from a wide variety of sources and they are a distortion of God’s gift of sexuality.  As Christian men, we must face these challenges head on and win the day through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

Islam, The Religion of Peace?

In our pluralistic society, the religion of Islam is welcome in America.  But are we being too tolerant?  Is Islam, as taught and practiced by Muhammad, really a religion of peace?

Life Walking – Processing Life Together to Seize Your Opportunities

People who try, Fail.  Remember the old adage: “If at first you don’t succeed, try again”?  Baloney.  The four words that are killing your spiritual growth are, “I will try to (you fill in the blank).”  Life is not about trying to accomplish a new resolution.  Life Walking is about processing life together to seize your opportunities and lets you enjoy BEING yourself, and DOING what God calls you to do.  You don’t give life “a try.”  Instead, Life Walking gives you a road map to see your God given dreams come true and release your passion.

Real Men Believe in Creation: Using Creation Apologetics to Share the Gospel

We live in a culture today that holds up nature and the earth as a sacred place which should be preserved at all costs.  The environmental movement has almost become another religion among many people.  Yet, Romans 1 tells us that "since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities and divine attributes have been clearly seen from the things that have been made. . . ."  As men of God, part of our role in the Great Commission is to point all people to the Creator and His Son Jesus Christ.  This session will share some practical ways to do just that.

Exclusive Faith in an Inclusive World

Christianity claims that trusting in Jesus is the only way to heaven, causing controversy and consternation in a world that wants to embrace many paths to God.  This workshop will demonstrate both biblically and logically that not all religions can be true and that Jesus is “the one and only.”
