Reserve My Seat — $35Why This Morning Matters
Men are often expected to provide, protect, lead, fix, carry, and endure. The Worth of a Man is a gathering created to remind men that they are seen, valued, needed, and created with purpose.
This is not a morning about telling men everything they are doing wrong. It is a place for encouragement, honest conversation, faith, connection, and practical hope.
