Ten Reasons

The Men's Advance is finally about to begin!  My fellow intern, Cody Winton, and I have worked hard to help bring this event about.  One of our projects this year was to really push and promote marketing and publicity for the conference.  In order to achieve this goal, Cody and I used several different social media sites to get news about the Men's Advance out to as many people as we could.

Another method Cody and I experimented with was creating a list of 10 reasons why fathers and sons should attend the 2013 Men's Advance.  These ten reasons list some of the unique aspects about this year's conference.  So, without further ado, here are the 10 reasons to come to the 2013 Men's Advance:

Reason #10 - Be inspired by Award Winning Musician, Nathan Clark George

"It is Nathan’s desire to encourage a thoughtful and meaningful approach to worship and the Scriptures in song. He understands the delicate balance of being fun and meaningful – of being powerful but not ear-splittingly loud – of being rooted in history but immediately understandable." Check out his site to learn more about his musical work and receive free sheet music and audio tracks! 

Reason #9 - Outstanding Book table

Over 100 authors works will be put forward for your considerations, enlightenment, and encouragement - don't miss this great opportunity!

Reason #8 - Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs

At this year's Men's Advance, you will have several opportunities to join with other fathers and sons in singing the great hymns and psalms of the faith.

Reason #7 - A Family Event

As always, we encourage the men and sons to attend the Advance - but don't stop there. Bring the whole family! Saturday afternoon, January 23, ladies will have the opportunity to be encouraged by Stacy McDonald, as she shares on purposefully impacting your children for Christ. Also don't miss the family dinner on Saturday night, followed by Nathan Clark George, in concert!

Reason #6 - Father and Son Panel Discussion

At the 2013 Men's Advance, there will be a unique opportunity to interact with a speaker panel. Dr. Serven will have 12 questions to be answered at a special speaker panel session of fathers and sons at the end of the Men's Advance.

Reason #5 - Strategic Friendship

Now is the time to initiate relationships that could last a life time. The opportunity is set before you in a weekend of manly fellowship - use this time to grow closer as father and son, but also meet brothers in Christ who are on the same road as you are.

Reason #4 - Hear Rev. Kevin Swanson

Don't miss this great opportunity to hear Rev. Kevin Swanson teach about intentional discipleship.  This is a subject which Rev. Swanson has studied for many years and sought to implement in his own church and family.  As a pastor, he will be able to encourage and instruct fellow pastors and church leaders on practical ways to disciple the next generation of church leaders.  As a father of five children, he will be able to speak from personal experience about how a godly father disciples and mentors his children.  Don't miss this opportunity to hear Rev. Kevin Swanson in a small conference setting!

Reason #3 - Hear Dr. Marcus Serven

Dr. Marcus Serven has been serving as a Presbyterian Minister since 1980 and is the father of 9 children, four of whom are now married. He has spoken at every Men's Advance since it's beginning in 2007 and he is passionate about the subject of discipleship. Come here both of his talks: "Jesus and His Men" and Dicsipleship at Home". You won't want to miss this!

Reason #2 - Q&A Time

Another great reason to be excited about this year's Men's Advance is the Question & Answer time! At the end of the conference, fathers and sons will be able to ask questions of both Rev. Swanson and Dr. Serven. Don't miss this opportunity to dig deeper into the vitally important question of how we are to be intentional in our discipleship of our families!

Reason #1 - The Glory of God

It is our desire that the Men's Advance bring glory to our great God and that it would be used by Him to equip men to advance His kingdom.

 

 

I'm looking forward to attending this great conference!  Please join me in praying that God would use this special event to encourage and instruct fathers and sons.  What a privilege it would be if God were to use this conference to help fulfill Malachi 4:6 to,

"...restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse."
