Three featured male speakers for the Dangerous Dads session

Dangerous Dads

Saturday morning. 10am. Main stage. For every father in the building. Somewhere along the way, the culture decided the safest father is the one who takes up the least space. Quiet. Agreeable. Unopinionated. Scripture disagrees. The men God calls to lead homes are trained men — watchful, immovable, and dangerous to anything that would come for their wives and children. This session is one hour of straight talk from men who have done hard things in hard places — and who came home to do the harder thing: raise their own children on purpose. No theatrics. No chest-thumping. Just a clear-eyed look at what your family actually needs from you, and what it costs to become that man.

Dads, this one’s for you. Show up. Speakers vary by location.
