About this Event

The King’s Council

Faithful Men for Hard Times

Forging men to stand strong in the Lord for His glory, the good of their households, and the blessing of generations to come.

We live in confused times.

Men are surrounded by lies about truth, manhood, leadership, duty, and what makes a life worth living. Masculinity is treated as toxic. Leadership is suspect. Strength has to apologize for itself.

And too often, what men get in response is shallow teaching, soft leadership, and religious talk that never seems to touch real life.

The King’s Council is a gathering for men who want something better: God’s truth for all of life.

We gather around good food, strong biblical teaching, honest conversation, earnest prayer, and real brotherhood. Our aim is to strengthen men in the truth of Scripture and call them to live with courage, conviction, and purpose under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Whether you are curious about Christianity, tired of shallow answers, or hungry to grow as a man, husband, father, or leader, there is a seat at the table for you.

This Gathering

The Freedom of Sons

Living and Leading from Their Father’s Approval

A lot of men spend their lives trying to prove themselves.

Strong enough. Successful enough. Good enough. Worthy of respect. Worthy of love.

And when a man lives that way long enough, he starts second-guessing himself. He becomes afraid to fail. Afraid to lead. Afraid to risk. Always wondering whether he measures up. Always looking somewhere for approval.

Sometimes Christian men even bring that same mindset before God.

But Christian man, you were not redeemed to spend your life begging for approval.

You are not a slave. You are a son.

At this King’s Council, Pastor Jake Mentzel will speak on The Freedom of Sons: Living and Leading from Their Father’s Approval.

What changes when a man really knows that God is his Father and that he belongs to Him? What kind of freedom does that give him to work, lead, risk, fail, repent, grow, and become the man God has called him to be?

God’s grace does not make men passive.

It makes them free.

And a man who knows where he stands can stand strong.

What to Expect

This is not a conference where you sit anonymously in a crowd, hear a talk, and go home.

The King’s Council is a gathering.

We eat together. We hear strong biblical teaching. We sit around tables. We talk. We ask questions. We pray. We sharpen one another. We build brotherhood.

Come ready for:

Deep, Biblical Truth

We don’t do fluffy theology. We want the deep, sovereign, awe-inspiring truths of Scripture that have anchored men for centuries.

This is weighty truth you can build your life on.

Biblical Masculinity

What does it actually mean to be a man?

We want to recover a clear and biblical vision of manhood. God made men to be strong in body, mind, and heart for the glory of God, the love of neighbor, the good of their families, and the blessing of future generations.

You do not need to apologize for becoming a strong and faithful man.

True Leadership

Men are called to lead.

That begins with learning to govern yourself and extends into your home, your church, your work, and your community.

Not passivity.

Not selfish domination.

Conviction. Humility. Courage. Steadiness. Faithful strength under God.

Real Brotherhood

Men need more than small talk and surface-level religion.

They need brothers.

Men who will encourage them, challenge them, sharpen them, pray with them, laugh with them, tell them the truth, and call them to something higher.

That kind of brotherhood is getting harder to find.

We intend to build it.

Who Should Come?

The Curious Man

Maybe you are not a Christian.

Maybe you have questions you have never had the opportunity to ask honestly. Maybe you are tired of the empty promises our culture keeps making to men and you are looking for something solid.

Come.

You are welcome to consider the claims of Jesus Christ and His Word and hear answers that actually reach real life.

The Spiritually Starved Man

Maybe you are tired of shallow teaching, spiritual junk food, and the kind of Christianity that always seems to cut men down instead of calling them up.

You want truth with some weight to it.

You want strong brotherhood.

You want a faith that has something to say about your marriage, your children, your work, your strength, your ambitions, your failures, and your responsibilities.

There is a seat at the table for you.

The Man Who Knows It Is Time to Step Up

Maybe you already know what needs to happen.

You need to grow.

You need to take greater responsibility. Lead your home better. Think more clearly. K*ll sin. Take godly risks. Become steadier. Become stronger. Become more faithful.

Then pull up a chair.
