Theme: Identity: Tuning Into the Voice of Truth

Men constantly hear contrary voices about who they are. The three main contrary voices are the world, the flesh, and the Devil (Ephesians 2:2-3). The world is telling men that they are unnecessary. Men hear, in their own minds, from their own sinful flesh, that voice that says that they are unqualified to follow-Christ. The enemy, Satan himself, whispers in men’s ears that they are failures. 

The voice of truth, the Word of God, tells men a different story. God says:

      Christian men are disciples – their leadership is essential in the family, the church, and the marketplace. Men are to lead by following (Christ). 

      Men are equipped – through the Holy Spirit men are fully equipped for faithfulness. 

      Men are conquerors – victory over sin & self-doubts is possible through grace.

      Dr. Hallmark – Responds to the contrary voice of culture that says men are unnecessary by emphasizing the glorious and eternally significant calling of following Christ. Dr. Hallmark will answer the question: What does it look like to truly follow Christ today? 

      Dr. Davis – Responds to the contrary voice of the flesh that says men are unqualified, weak, with nothing to offer by emphasizing the power of the Holy Spirit and the way He prepares us for success in family life, church life, and work life. Dr. Davis will answer the question: how does the Holy Spirit equip a man for spiritual success?

      Dr. Bosak – Responds to the contrary voice of Satan that reminds men of their sinful failures by emphasizing the cleansing and conquering power of God’s grace. Dr. Bosak will answer the questions: Am I really fully forgiven? How can I overcome to the sin that so easily ensnares me? 

Our hope for this men’s conference is to be encouraging to men. We want men to leave this conference spiritually refreshed, prepared, and victorious.
