Men's Breakfast - It's Never Too Late to Be a Son - Sponsored by Trail Life USA
Saturday August 2, 2025 7:30am - 9:00am EDT
TBA
Get Your Ticket Today!
A challenge many Christian men face is knowing God but struggling to experience Him as a loving Father. The Holy Spirit leads us to Jesus, and Jesus brings us to the Father, but many men never take that final step of fully knowing the Father and embracing their identity as sons.

This talk is a heartfelt and personal reflection on what it truly means to be a son of God. With honesty and openness, I share how I spent years as a Christian without fully understanding my identity as God’s son. I talk about the struggles, mistakes, and pain that came from not living in the fullness of sonship, including the heartbreak of a divorce caused by my own failures.

No matter where you are in life, struggling with your own sense of worth, wrestling with sin, or feeling disconnected in your relationship with God, this talk serves as a reminder: it’s never too late to embrace who you were created to be.

In this session, Israel explains how you can equip your children for the ‘real world’ without putting them in harm’s way.

Cultivating Learning Through Gratitude: Empower Your Students with the Power of Thankfulness
Saturday August 2, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm EDT
Demoss 1286
Explore the profound impact of gratitude on learning outcomes in this enlightening workshop. Can Thanksgiving enhance your student’s academic performance or deepen their understanding of spiritual teachings? Many educators and mentors often attribute comprehension solely to the student’s intelligence or the teaching method’s efficacy. However, recent scientific research and timeless wisdom from the Bible suggest that the readiness of the heart and mind before receiving instruction is paramount in knowledge acquisition. Is the soil of your student’s inner landscape primed to absorb what you impart? Discover how planting the seed of knowledge in the heart of gratitude fosters a fertile ground for growth and leads to bountiful harvests of learning. Join us as we delve into practical strategies for incorporating gratitude into education and spiritual mentoring, empowering you to cultivate a thriving environment for knowledge dissemination and absorption.
