2025 BREAKOUT SESSIONS
BREAKOUT #1
Men and Friendships: Finding Brothers, Not Just Buddies
Speakers: John Reilly, Greg Burdine, and Richard Smith
Most men have acquaintances, but very few have true brothers who will walk with them through life’s highs and lows. In this session, we’ll talk
honestly about why men often struggle with isolation and surface-level relationships. You’ll learn how to cultivate friendships that sharpen,
strengthen, and support you in your walk with Christ.
BREAKOUT #2
The Courage to Share Your Story
Speaker: Walt Yeomans
Every man has a story — and God can use yours to impact others. Whether it’s sharing your testimony, struggles, or victories, opening up takes courage but brings freedom and connection. This session will equip you with practical tools and boldness to share your story in a way that points others to Christ.
BREAKOUT #3
Finding God in Seasons of Suffering
Speaker: Ryan Bettinger
Pain, loss, and disappointment are part of every man’s journey — but God meets us in the valleys. In this session, we’ll look at biblical truths that bring hope in suffering and discover how trials can deepen our faith rather than destroy it. You’ll walk away encouraged that even in the hardest seasons, God is present, working, and faithful.
BREAKOUT #4
Health and Fitness as Stewardship
Speaker: Coleman Geraci
Our bodies are a gift from God, and caring for them is part of honoring Him. This session will explore practical ways to pursue physical health through exercise, nutrition, and rest — not for vanity, but for strength to serve God and others. Learn how to see health and fitness as an act of stewardship that supports your spiritual growth and everyday mission.
