Men of Honor
Chuck Stecker - Keynote Speaker
Our culture says adulthood is the right to do “adult” things. These things distract us from God’s calling on our lives. We have an entire culture of men, both young and old, that crave significance, yet live in a time of confusion and distraction. A lot of local men have stopped connecting with a local church, or if they have, they fail to connect even within our church walls.
