Here are a few comments that men who were at the conference shared:
“One hundred seventy-seven men all singing together is quite an experience.”
“One thing that really helped me was the reminder that we as Christians are called to deny ourselves. But we can’t simply deny ourselves, we need to replace it with something, and that is Christ in our hearts. That was one message I found powerful this weekend.”
“The small group sessions were incredibly rich.”
“It was great to engage with men from other churches.”
“We are born worshippers. I’m worshipping no matter what. If I’m not worshipping my creator, I will worship other things. The main way to battle my sin is to worship Christ.”
“I’m struck each year by the men gathering together. It’s like an army forming, but to do a great spiritual battle.”
“I left the conference wanting to renew my pursuit of a knowledge of God and the gospel.”

In addition to the teaching time the men enjoyed worshiping, late-night fellowship, shared meals, and outdoor activities. The men also went home with a copy of “The Shepherd Leader at Home” by Timothy Z. Witmer to encourage them in their continued growth as godly men.
The men enjoyed a weekend of good teaching, good fellowship, and fun. Thanks to Jason Achmoody & Kevin Schwartz for organizing the conference and for Pastors Don Willeman and Wes Pastor for bringing such a powerful message.
