Practical Tips for Discipling/Mentoring Men Effectively – Panel
Dave Wertheim, Moderator – Founder, Men U for Transformed Life, Ministry Consultant, Man in the Mirror, Roseville, CA

One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is the lack of godly men. Think about what could happen if godly men began investing in other men, who in turn invested in other men? We are called by God (2 Timothy 2:2) to disciple but many men don’t know how or what to do. That’s why we’ve assembled this awesome panel of disciple-makers for an enthusiastic discussion and question and answer session providing practical tips for discipling/mentoring men effectively. Countless men have described how the discipleship relationship has been one of the most rewarding relationships in their entire lives. Please come join us and find out what the fun is all about.

Panelists:

This seminar is for pastors, men’s ministry leaders and anyone who has a heart to mobilize the men of his church.

Afternoon Seminars

chuck You Can Change Your Stars
For Emerging & Pioneering Men: Ages 13-29

Chuck Stecker, Founder
A Chosen Generation, Littleton, CO

Young men often feel victims to their circumstances and while they may state that they believe that God has a purpose and destiny for them, they lack the true belief that they can “change their stars.” God’s plans for us are not restricted to our earthly circumstances. Often our current circumstances are not the prisons we allow them to be. They are the launching pads designed to take us to greatness. Young men need to believe that they can “change their stars” take the necessary steps to find the greatness God has already purposed for them.
