The Men's Leadership Summit is all about forming and equipping men to step into the breach and call forth a renewal of Catholic masculinity right where they live. Through spiritual formation, leadership training, and practical "how-to's" men will be given all they need to build a dynamic brotherhood of men striving to be the husbands, fathers, friends, and men of God that they are called to be.
Past experience has shown that gathering a group of men to participate in the Summit increases its impact all the more. So, if possible, we encourage attendees to gather other men from their parish to join them for the Summit as well.
If registrations are full, you can call 701-356-7900 to be placed on a waiting list.
Catholic speaker and podcaster John Edwards has gone through a lot of ups and downs in his faith life.
Being raised in a devout Baptist household, Edwards converted to Catholicism when he married his wife. But running with a bad crowd in college and losing his mother to terminal breast cancer had him turning to drinking, drugs and pornography to escape from his problems.
Eventually his raging battles with alcohol and cocaine addiction landed him in jail and rehab. In the midst of his pain and regret, he had a powerful encounter with Jesus that changed his life.
After that tranformative encounter, Edwards was convicted that if the Church wants to renew families, it needs to renew men. Men need to know they are loved. They need people who have their back as they try to become the husbands, fathers and leaders God calls them to be. They especially need other Catholic men who know better than anyone else what they’re struggling with. Out of this conviction grew Just a Guy in the Pews, a ministry committed inspiring and equipping men to become men of greatness willing to respond to God's call with boldness. Edwards now travels the country sharing his testimony and helping men to become a light in the darkness for one another, a band of brothers in pursuit of holiness.
