A Weekend to Recharge and Refocus
A highlight of the weekend came on Friday night when a man from Wayne County gave his life to Jesus. The conference created space for men to connect, grow, and hear teaching on biblical manhood in a welcoming environment.
Breakout sessions focused on thriving in three key dimensions: UP (relationship with God), IN (relationships with family and fellow believers), and OUT (living on mission). Topics included spiritual disciplines, purity, marriage, parenting, and finishing well.
The Iowa Men’s Conference continues to be a key event for encouraging and equipping men to live boldly for Christ in every area of life.
