BREAKOUT SESSION TOPICS	LEADER

No Man Left Behind: This session is designed for leaders or men who want to be leaders. It will give an overview of a model of men’s discipleship that reaches every man in your church, and provides answers for some of the toughest problems leaders face in their quest to help men become passionate followers of Jesus Christ.	Brett Clemmer President and CEO Man in the Mirror Castleberry, FL
Essentials of Manhood & Marriage: Being a man is more than just a question of gender. There are some essentials that are required of a male before he can call himself a man, and he must also meet those essentials to be the husband God calls him to be. Come join the conversation!	Jay Penton Director Stand Up Men Plattesville, Alabama
God Loves Do-Overs - Our lives may bear the scars of broken relationships, addictions and unforgiveness. Too many times, men become stuck in their past – unwilling to forgive themselves. But there is hope. God offers each of us a do-over, a fresh start. We do not have to allow our past to define us.	Rex Tignor Founder/Director Man Up Ministries Richmond, VA
Empowering Relationships Through Athletics: Participation in athletics provides a great opportunity for a father and son to bond. But it often brings friction, strife, and disesteem. Fathers unintentionally and subconsciously put expectations on their boys that put conditions on approval and love. This seminar will share challenges and practical applications that enable empowered relationships regardless of athletic results.	Matt Treppel Area Director Fellow. Christian Athletes Wilmington, NC
Anger: One Letter Away From Danger! Anger becomes a problem when it is handled incorrectly. Resentment and bitterness causes so many serious problems. In this equipping seminar, we will look at some tools that we can use to help us effectively deal with our anger, and keep us from blowing up!	Larry Leak Founder/Director Just Stand Firm Ministries Wilbraham, MA
Spiritual Fathering – Making Disciples of the Next Generation: This session deals with equipping spiritually mature men to develop relationships with the next generation with the intension of making disciples who make disciples. What are the essentials for becoming an effective Spiritual Father?	Kevin Gregory Area Director Man in the Mirror Sanford, NC
The Intentional Leader. This session will focuses on the 5 intentional characteristics that I have personally witnessed in world-class, godly leaders.

This is a session in which every leader will find actionable truths for growth.	John Berry Area Chair C12 Group Goldsboro, NC
Changing Lives Through Missions Involvement. Becoming the hands and feet of Christ through missions involvement changes lives - the lives of those we serve, as well as our own. In this session we will discuss ways to effectively find mission opportunities, organize for action, and encourage participation.	Paul Langston Missions Mobilizer Baptists on Mission Cary, NC
Starting An Outdoor Ministry For Boys In Your Church And Community. Outdoor adventure is an effective tool in reaching boys of this generation. It can also be used to engage men in need of a ministry and purpose that matters. This session will describe how men of the church can step into and execute a life-changing ministry to boys.	Rick Magee Chief of Operations Kids Outdoor Zone Lynchburg, VA
Conflict: It Doesn't Have To Be Combat! Conflict happens every day, in most spheres of our lives. Our society is more divided now than ever before. There are many different ways that men face and react to conflict – some good, some not so good. This seminar will look at the word Conflict and provide you with tools to handle it well!	Larry Leak Founder/Director Just Stand Firm Ministries Wilbraham, MA
Identity. In a world of uncertainty, men are asking themselves, “Who Am I?”. The sad part is that many are looking in the wrong places to find an answer. We know that God has a wonderful and perfect plan for each man’s life. In this seminar we will look at the word “Identity” in order to help you discover who you really are.	Rex Tignor Founder/Director Man Up Ministries Richmond, VA
WORK: More Than a 4 Letter Word: Men have always had a tendency to identify themselves by what they do (their work), and not by who they are (their relationships). Men, you are not what you do. Still, what you do in your work does matter. Does your work define who you are? Are you having an impact in this arena of your life?	Jay Penton Director Stand Up Men Plattesville, Alabama
