It wasn't too long after Stacey and I got married, that I attended my first Promise Keepers Conference in the LA Coliseum. There, with 70,000 other men, I was challenged to live a deeper life with Christ, to be a better and more loving husband, to be a man of integrity and to live a more impactful life, all things I still strive to live out on a daily basis.
That weekend, I experienced one of my life's greatest moments - when that stadium erupted with a shout to the Lord in praise. It was moment a in time that has stayed with me because there was a power in that moment, a sense of being part of something much larger than myself and an amazing connection with God and with all these other men - most of whom I did not know. It gave me a greater sense of what worship in heaven will be about - multitudes of people from all walks of life and backgrounds, all praising God at the same time - with all of their hearts and lives. It will be powerful!
The Promise Keepers Movement saw many lives changed and transformed - marriages saved, families strengthened, churches energized, and communities and organizations injected with new life. It was a time when there was renewal and a new sense of the leading of God.
I long for that now.
Promise Keepers is back in a different form now - with a large conference in Dallas and with multiple remote sites through the simulcast. Bridges is one of these sites. We can be part of it right here in our community.
This is a great opportunity to hear some amazing speakers sharing God's Word and be part of times of worship together with men all over the world. It is a great time to hear from God and find strength in Him to live for Him.
My prayer is that God will show up as He has in the past & that His presence will be tangible and life transforming. I pray that God will use this to bring life to His people and to ignite a new movement in our world - of people seeking God and living for Him with abandonment.
I want to invite all men of Bridges to join us. Be part of what God is doing in our world. Step up and step out to live extraordinary lives. Invite other men. Be open to what God wants to do in you and come with expectation.
