MEN OF VALOR CONFERENCE 2025 | SESSION FOUR
ALIVE IN CHRIST — Nathan Cravatt

What does it mean to be truly free?

In the fourth and final session of the 2025 Men of Valor Conference, pastor, husband, and father Nathan Cravatt brings a powerful message from the book of Romans about the freedom we have through Jesus Christ.

Scripture declares that in Christ we have been set free from the law of sin and death. We are no longer defined by our past, enslaved to our sin, or condemned by what we have done. Through the finished work of Jesus, we have been given something we could never earn for ourselves:

New life.

But for Nathan, the message of life and death is deeply personal.

After returning home from a mission trip, Nathan became critically ill with a mysterious illness that nearly took his life. In this session, he shares his remarkable testimony of coming face-to-face with death—and the miraculous story of restored that followed.

MEN OF VALOR CONFERENCE 2025 | SESSION THREE
WHERE ARE YOU? — Travis Watson

From the very beginning, men have been hiding.

In Session Three of the 2025 Men of Valor Conference, Travis Watson, a member of the Men of Valor Executive Board, delivers a challenging message entitled “Where Are You?”

After Adam’s sin in the garden, God comes looking for him and asks a question that continues to confront men today:

“Where are you?”

God wasn’t asking because He didn’t know Adam’s location. The question exposed something deeper. Adam had sinned, experienced shame, become afraid—and hidden himself from the presence of God.

Thousands of years later, men are still hiding.

MEN OF VALOR CONFERENCE 2025 | SESSION TWO
THE POWER OF WEAKNESS — Brian Edwards

Our culture teaches men to hide weakness, project strength, and make sure no one sees the places where we struggle. But the Gospel offers us a radically different picture of strength.

In Session Two of the 2025 Men of Valor Conference, longtime pastor Brian Edwards delivers a powerful message entitled “The Power of Weakness.”

Drawing from years of faithfully serving, shepherding, and walking with people through the realities of life, Brian challenges men to reconsider what true strength actually looks like.

Authenticity requires us to stop pretending we have it all together.  You don't have to hide your weakness.  Bring it into the light.  Surrender it to Christ.

And discover that sometimes the place where you feel weakest is the very place where His power becomes strongest.

MEN OF VALOR CONFERENCE 2025 | SESSION ONE
AUTHENTIC — Eric Stewart

What does it really mean to live as an authentic man of God?

In this special episode of the Men of Valor Podcast, we take you back to the opening session of the 2025 Men of Valor Conference, where our theme was one simple but challenging word: AUTHENTIC.

Eric Stewart opens the conference with a powerful message calling men beyond appearances, image management, and simply saying the right things. Authenticity requires us to bring who we really are into the light—to stop hiding behind the version of ourselves we want others to see and allow Christ to transform the man underneath.

Authenticity isn't perfection. It's refusing to hide.

In Season 4, Episode 46 of the MOV Podcast, we continue our Counterculture series by tackling Digital Discipleship and the battle for our attention in an increasingly digital world. Every scroll, click, follow, and hour spent online is shaping us in some way—but as followers of Christ, we are called to be intentional about who and what is discipling us. 

In this episode, we challenge men to examine their digital habits, guard what they allow to influence their hearts and minds, and refuse to simply become consumers of culture—even Christian culture.

Kain Carter is a devoted husband, a loving father, and a faithful servant of Christ who has committed himself to advancing the Kingdom in both his home and his local church. While some may know him for his incredible gifts behind the scenes in sound, video, and media production, Kain's greatest desire is to help tell the story of the Gospel in a way that points people to Jesus—not to himself. He serves with excellence, humility, and consistency, proving that some of the most impactful ministry happens where few people ever see it. Today, as we explore the question, "What Will They Say About You?", Kain brings the perspective of a man who is intentionally building a legacy that will outlive him—not through recognition, but through faithful obedience to Christ.
