Discipling is about more than just teaching; it's about walking alongside someone on their spiritual journey. This session examines what it means to disciple someone who believes in God, including building a relationship based on trust, offering guidance through scripture, and fostering spiritual growth. We will look at real-life examples and strategies for effective discipling, focusing on the balance between guidance and personal growth.
Deepening Faith
If God holds the keys to heaven, wouldn't you want to get to know Him? This topic delves into the significance of prayer in deepening one's relationship with God.

Practical tips and personal stories will highlight how consistent, heartfelt prayer can bring about profound changes.
Importance of Prayer
Jesus commanded his followers to go out two by two and proclaim the gospel, baptizing people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But what does evangelization look like in today's world? This talk explores contemporary approaches to evangelization, the challenges and opportunities it presents, and how to effectively share your faith in diverse and often secular environments. We'll also discuss the importance of authenticity and building meaningful connections.
Unfiltered Faith
Everyone has prejudices, but recognizing and addressing them is crucial to treating everyone with dignity. This talk explores the roots of prejudice, the impact of racism on individuals and society, and practical steps we can take to see and treat everyone with the respect they deserve. We will delve into the concept of inherent human dignity and discuss how empathy, education, and open dialogue can help dismantle racial biases.
Racism and Dignity
Many people aspire to be leaders but lack a clear understanding of what true leadership entails. This talk provides insights into the qualities and skills necessary for effective leadership. We'll cover topics such as vision, integrity, communication, and the ability to inspire and motivate others. Practical advice and real-world examples will help you understand how to cultivate these traits and build your leadership capabilities.
How to Build a Leader
Everyone needs a reason to keep going, especially when faced with challenges. This session explores how to find and sustain motivation in various aspects of life. We'll discuss intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, techniques for setting and achieving goals, and ways to overcome obstacles and setbacks.

Finding Motivation
The Sacred Faces of Poverty
In this poignant and introspective presentation, I will share my deeply personal journey of discovering the divine amidst the challenges of poverty. Through encounters with individuals facing economic hardship, I have come to recognize the profound presence of Christ in their lives and the transformative power of compassion and empathy.
Beloved Sonship
While we all have earthly fathers, our relationship with our Heavenly Father is even more profound and transformative. This talk explores the concept of beloved sonship, delving into what it means to be a son or daughter of God. We will discuss how this relationship is the foundation of our identity, how it shapes our purpose, and why it is the greatest reality we can embrace. By understanding the love and guidance of our Heavenly Father, we can experience true freedom, healing, and peace.
Becoming a Man After God's Own Heart
In a world where manhood is often measured by power, aggression, or success, this talk seeks to redefine masculinity through the lens of faith and virtue. Drawing on real-life examples—from cultural rites of passage to biblical figures like King David—we will explore the difference between toxic and authentic masculinity. True manhood is not about dominance or self-serving ambition but about embracing virtue, protecting others, taking ownership, and nurturing a deep relationship with God. This talk challenges men to live with dignity, courage, and integrity, and to reject the false images of manhood that culture promotes. Ultimately, we’ll uncover how to be a man after God’s own heart by striving to be men of prayer, faith, and virtue.
