Grandfathers Who Leave a Legacy

Larry McCall, Warsaw IN
Director, Walking Like Jesus Ministries

This seminar is for Seasoned Men (ages 55+)

“The best thing about being a grandfather is that you can spoil the grandkids then send them home to their parents!” Really? That’s it? That’s the best thing about being a grandfather? We hope not! In this session we will explore God’s calling on us as grandfathers. We’ll see that the best part of grandfathering is having the amazing privilege of passing the baton of faith – of living the gospel with the next generation. We’ll talk in very practical ways how the gospel shapes and empowers our ministry of grandfathering.

Your Giants Ain’t Jack!

Rex Tignor, Richmond, VA
Founder, Man Up Ministries

You may never stand in a battle against a 9′ Giant. For some, your Giants seem just as big. You cannot defeat your giants until you are willing to enter the battle. In this seminar, we will give you tools on how to defeat those Giants.

You Are the Man for Her

Reggie Holder, Nashville, TN
Elder, Reginald Holder Ministries

This seminar is for Pioneering & Full Throttle Men (ages 20-54)

The greatness of man is revealed in many areas. Sports, education, sales or church, men achieve and advance with a confidence that had to come from the supernatural. Some of these same men cower and fade when challenged with loving their wives. The confidence to land the deal, make the presentation or win the debate disappears. Each man is equipped to win, born for this, made for this – but most men don’t know it. Most have never seen it modeled but it is a part of every husband. You are the man for her.
