Most men have never heard this from their father
Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer carries global influence as one of the leading Christian academics, and pastor of one of America's most significant churches. We are honored he is bringing a keynote address in Fort Worth, Texas, at the 40th anniversary of Christian Men's Network. Dr. Ulmer and Dr. Ed Cole often shared the stage at men's conferences in years past. Today, Dr. Ulmer's passion for bringing men to Christ still burns strong.

The Key to Everything
For most people, a long prayer of, “I need,” is easier than a long one of, “thank you for.” But it was thanksgiving and thankfulness that marked the explosive growth of the early church.

The Ethos of Rape
A permissive culture focused on personal fulfillment and selfish pursuits has produced the ethos of rape. Stanford swimmer Brock Turner was indicted for raping an inebriated young woman he found in distress. Many said, “Boys will be boys.” But when the first response by a young man finding a woman in distress is to abuse her, it indicates a decision that was made prior to that moment. His father said, “His life will never be the one that he dreamed about. That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action.” But what is 20 minutes for him...

We were stunned. Then tonight, warfare broke out in the streets of Dallas as many police officers were tragically shot – some killed, many injured. As followers of Jesus Christ, we cannot be silent, we must not be unaware – this is our reality. This is our season. Some would...
