June 14, 2025 — Nationwide
The “Act Like Men” conference, held from June 13–14, 2025, gathered thousands of men across the United States, both in-person and virtually, to explore the principles of biblical manhood. Hosted in multiple cities, including Salt Lake City, Utah, the event offered a range of keynote speeches, practical workshops, and fellowship activities designed to inspire men to live with purpose, integrity, and a deep faith in God.
A Deep Dive into Biblical Manhood
At its core, the conference’s theme—“Living Out Biblical Manhood”—focused on guiding men toward a deeper understanding of the virtues outlined in scripture. Through a series of sessions, speakers shared insights on leadership, personal responsibility, and spiritual growth, all while emphasizing the importance of applying these values in real-life situations.
The conference aimed to challenge men to rise to the biblical standard of manhood—acting as leaders, protectors, and stewards in their families, workplaces, and communities. Topics like leadership in the home, taking responsibility for one’s spiritual journey, and growing in faith were highlighted, offering men tools to apply these teachings in their everyday lives.
“Well, being a man of God is not just about attending church on Sunday,” said one of the speakers. “It’s about reflecting God’s will in our families, our jobs, and every part of our lives.”
With biblical principles at the heart of each conversation, the conference encouraged participants to consider their role as fathers, husbands, and community leaders, stressing that true manhood requires living out a life of honor and integrity.
Building Community and Fellowship
In addition to the academic and spiritual sessions, the conference placed a strong emphasis on community-building. Men were encouraged to join group discussions and prayer sessions that fostered an environment of brotherhood and support. Many attendees found the opportunity to share personal stories and offer guidance to one another a meaningful part of the experience.
“We need each other. This event is a chance to build lasting relationships with men who share the same values,” shared one participant. “Having accountability partners in this journey is what I needed.”
In smaller group workshops, attendees were able to openly discuss the challenges they face in living out their faith and how they can overcome obstacles. From dealing with the pressures of modern life to maintaining strong relationships, these conversations helped participants build a sense of community and mutual support.
The emphasis on mentorship was another key theme of the event. Organizers encouraged older, more experienced men to take on mentorship roles, guiding younger men through their spiritual journeys and offering advice on how to handle life’s challenges with faith. By nurturing these connections, the “Act Like Men” conference sought to create a network of men who would support one another long after the event concluded.
Outreach and Lasting Impact
The conference also took on a strong outreach element. Organizers provided resources and materials for local churches and men’s groups, enabling them to continue the conversation about biblical manhood in their own communities. The goal was to keep the spirit of the conference alive by fostering a nationwide movement of men committed to living out their faith with authenticity and strength.
For many, the event sparked a renewed sense of purpose and clarity on their roles as men of faith. “I feel like I’m walking away from this event with a clearer vision of what it means to be a man of God in today’s world,” one attendee said.
The conference’s reach extended beyond the event itself. With the launch of an online platform for men to continue connecting, it ensured that the discussions and relationships built at the conference would continue to grow. This online resource also offered tools for men to deepen their faith through Bible study groups, prayer challenges, and educational content designed to guide them in their walk with God.
One of the key organizers of the event reflected on the importance of such gatherings, stating, “We know that the challenges men face today are unique, but they can be overcome by living out the biblical principles of leadership, responsibility, and faith. We hope to see a ripple effect where men leave here not just changed, but determined to change their families, churches, and communities for the better.”
Looking Ahead
As the “Act Like Men” conference concluded, participants were left with renewed purpose and a deeper understanding of how to live according to biblical principles. Many vowed to take the lessons learned back to their homes and communities, committed to being men who reflect the integrity and leadership that scripture calls them to.
With such a positive response, organizers are already planning future conferences, hoping to expand their reach and impact more men across the country. The movement that began at this conference is expected to continue inspiring men to live with faith, authenticity, and strength, shaping the lives of future generations.
