As winter reaches its peak each year, it's easy to find yourself running on empty. The demands of vocation, home, personal life, ministry and other things seem to collide, creating a schedule and life with little margin. We're often left with the need to have our bodies and spirits renewed, and need a refreshing by the Word of God, Christ-centered music, and the fellowship of other believers. Join us this year for our annual Men's Heart Conference as we explore the theme "Draw Near: The Devotional Life of God's Servant." You'll leave refreshed, and know why so many men look forward to the encouragement it offers each year.
