2023 BE STRONG MEN’S CONFERENCE
The world around us has tried (since the beginning of time) to define what manhood should look like—but they fall short every time. The Bible defines what real Biblical manhood is. The role of a “godly man” is among the highest callings you will ever receive. Never allow the culture to twist your perspective of God’s calling.
Joshua: Courage & Conquest | Conference Teaching Focus
In the first chapter of Joshua, the Lord tells Joshua three times to “be strong and courageous”. This makes sense because Joshua had just taken over the leadership of God’s people and was embarking on a military conquest to seize the inheritance for God’s people. He surely needed the reminder.
What about us today? God has called us to a similar conquest. But in our context it is not a military campaign against pagan nations, it is a spiritual battle for our souls and the souls whom the Lord has placed in our care. Even though our culture isn’t as “pagan”, openly worshiping false gods, it is just as blasphemous and hostile to the Gospel. And just as Joshua needed the reminder to be courageous, so do we. The same God who was with Joshua in his battle against his enemies is with us against ours.

Fall 2023 Conference Details
September 15-17, 2023
God has ordained you to be a humble, bold leader among your family, friends, and church. It has nothing to do with your career, family history, or hobbies. We must view ourselves as more than conquerors through Christ, and fight to reflect the image of Christ in everything we do. At Be Strong, we will examine the Bible together to learn how God calls and equips us to lead, protect, serve, and shepherd those around us.
You and I must first submit to Christ as our Lord and King. He will fight for our holiness in and through us. We have all we need to grow in righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. The Holy Spirit and our brothers in Christ have equipped us.
Our men’s conferences are packed with expositional preaching and high-adventure recreation.
