Equipping Seminars
Equipping seminars are one hour long and designed to equip men in various areas of life, such as Bible knowledge, marriage, finance, parenting, purity, and more. There are two seminar times during the conference, with eight seminar options during each time. Read about the seminar options below.
Knowing and Understanding God's Will
Butch Jerrell
God’s will for Christians is clearly revealed in his word. We will look at some scriptures to help us understand His perfect will for the body of Christ.
How to Find Meaningful Relationships That Last
Jeff Frick
Without God it is impossible to connect with others, but with faith our connectivity improves.
Understanding God's Design For Work & Marketplace Ministry
Tom DiJohn
We will examine the Bible’s teachings on work, how and why God created it, and, perhaps most importantly, how we can all develop a Biblical understanding of our work and careers, serve God, and bring His Kingdom into the marketplace daily.
How to Transform Sinful Thoughts and Habits
Steve Etner
There’s a conflict between a calling to glorify God and a desire to please self. In this workshop we will open Scripture to discover how to transform our sinful thoughts and habits into patterns of life that magnify God.
Anger: One Letter Away From Danger!
Larry Leak
Anger is a great challenge for so many! It needs to be controlled, or it will control you! In this seminar, we’ll learn how to deal with this powerful emotion.
Improving Marriage as Investor Men
Jeff Kemp
Marriage as God intended can be dramatically better than many men settle for. The way of Jesus fuels husbands to be relationship investors who initiate with love, loyalty and leadership. Let’s get honest and practical in this session.
Who Has Your Six: Forging Battle Ready Brotherhood
David Dusek
In the military, it’s not about the Division or Brigade, but the two or three men you are in the “fight” with. The same combat tactics used to defeat a real-world enemy, also work against the enemy who is out to steal, kill and destroy (Jn 10:10).
Make It, Don't Lose It
Ken Keeler
This seminar will be a frank discussion with young men about what I wish I’d known at their age. You are definitely not too young to make an impact on your world.
Better Fathers, Better Communities
Antoine Johnson
Fatherhood is a transformative journey that extends far beyond the walls of our homes. This dynamic seminar offered by National Fatherhood Initiative® explores the critical role fathers play in shaping stronger, more resilient communities. Participants will discover evidence-based programs and strategies for engaged parenting, learn to overcome common challenges and understand how positive fatherhood impacts social cohesion, child development, and community well-being.
Forgiveness: Forgive While You Still Can!
Larry Leak
One of the hardest things you will ever do in life is to forgive someone who hurt you. But, forgiveness is not for them, it’s for you!
What's Your Story? Overcoming A Bad Belief System About Who We Are
David Dusek
Every man has a story. A story written by people we’ve interacted with our entire life. Every person in a man’s life pens another chapter, or validates a story already written by someone else. These stories become our “truth” even though they are typically a lie of the enemy. The only way to rewrite a bad story is with the Truth of God.
Stay in the Game
Ken Keeler
I haven’t found “retirement” in the Bible! Let’s discuss how we can stay vitally involved in our world especially by ministering to and mentoring young people. I’m 72 and the Lord won’t let me quit.
Identifying Hidden Giants
Garrett Hall
We all have blind spots. David was a man after God’s own heart, but he had blind spots. By examining 1 Chronicles 21, we will see how we can identify and overcome the obstacles that keep us from offering God our best.
How to Enjoy God's Word
Steve Etner
Studying God’s Word doesn’t have to be a duty of drudgery. In this workshop we will discover how to read the Bible in a way that brings joy to your soul. Join us as we learn how to enjoy God’s Word.
Clarity in the Culture of Confusion
Abdu Murray
An explanation on how the current culture has mistaken autonomy for freedom, elevated feelings and preferences over facts and truth, and how we can restore people’s desire for truth in a world that has rejected it.
How Do I Love My Neighbor?
Jeff Frick
Come hear about and consider the answers to these three questions: Where has God placed you? Does God want you to run from discomfort and into greater comfort? Do you believe it’s about changing your circumstances; or is it about changing your heart?
