Heartland Alliance Men's Conference
“Take Courage - Play the Man”
“Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous!” 1 Corinthians 16:13
Keynote Speakers: Doug Brown, Adam Snell, Kevin Berger
Answer the Call to “Play the Man!” We will take time to hear what God tells us about biblical masculinity in a world that has confused this topic. We will dive into what it means to be male, a husband, a single man, a father and a mentor and leave with a renewed confidence and clarity in who God has called us to be in a world gone mad.
Enjoy Fellowship and Worship with other men seeking to Answer the Call of God and walk more closely with Christ.
