2018 Testimonials

A few testimonials from our 2018 conference attendees:

This conference is always a day well spent. Every man can use the encouragement that was given out of attending this conference. The resources available, can be invaluable.

 

The heart of Man movie showed me I had been living in shame for so many years and freed me from that bondage. I have since healed my marriage and am working on healing with my children so that we, as a whole, can grow stronger and closer to Christ.

 

I always leave with new and effective tools to help me be a better man and stay strong in my faith until the next higher ground gathering!

 

I was in tears right when we started worship in the morning. They were tears of gratitude, unforeseen, unexpected, yet completely spontaneous, recognizing the power and freedom that we have in Jesus. Let us walk this liberating journey on earth, banding together as fellow brothers, supporting and loving one another as Jesus loves us!

 

As a 22 year old, I was worried that there wouldn’t be a lot of topics that I would be interested in hearing about and the conference seems daunting as a whole day event. But there were so many topics that I wanted to attend that I was grateful they were all recorded so I could go back and listen to the ones I didn’t have a chance to attend. The topics that were talked about were relevant to men of all ages and that was really encouraging for me.

 

I was very refreshed by the message and speakers and would recommend this conference to any man wishing to learn what god’s calling is for him and how to get there despite all the world’s obstacles.

 

Higher Ground Men’s Conference is about lifting men up to their God given potential, not tearing them down. The entire day is inspiring and equipping for men to be better men, as God has called us to be.

 

I was impressed by the honesty and openness at the conference. Sometimes you just need to hear you are not alone to start growing through your pain and struggle. WELL DONE!

 

The opportunity to gather freely with other Men of God is life changing! The break out sessions are so encouraging to me. To be alongside other men who are in this battle together. I love knowing I am not alone in this! Thank you Lord!

 

(Clint’s) testimony was great. I went to his session and it was amazing! So organized, well thought out, great presentation and you could tell he was transparent and he did it with his whole heart.

 

Brock Huard was incredibly compelling and is planning to return in 2019. Looking forward to hearing him again!

 

His (Brock’s) stories were pretty inspirational for my faith. I really appreciated the small group demonstration at the end of the day. I’m inspired to start a small group of guys.

 

Higher Ground is a fabulous event to jump start your personal journey to freedom, gather with other men who desire to walk with God, and hear stories of how the Lord has changed men’s lives. It is well worth the time and money.

 

I wasn’t sure what to expect out of Higher Ground, but it was a deeply impactful time, and I’m really glad I attended. The raw honesty and vulnerability of the speakers and the almost uncomfortable relevance of the topics to my life were both convicting and refreshing.

 

My son and I were part of a group that came for the first time. I was so blessed and amazed. There were 700 men at this event and I thought ‘why didn’t I know about such an amazing gift?’. The day went by so fast, because it was that good! Thank you all for providing this conference it encouraged me and helped me.

 

I watched grown men one by one go up to one of the breakout session speakers and pour out how eye-opening and life changing the experience was, follow it up with additional questions, and watch the presenter take time to speak into their lives to help them with their unique situation.  I was blown away at how accessible the speakers/presenters were.

 

This is a conference that has always done everything well – from the great keynote speakers to the breakout sessions. I am encouraged and strengthened every time I have attended. Keep up the good work.

 

Thank you for showing the Heart of Man movie. It is very powerful for showing how amazing God’s love is for us. Also, the breakout session on youth and technology was engaging and informative. Helpful. Great atmosphere. Even though it was different, having the child sponsoring opportunity actually gave a chance for us to think about someone other than ourselves.

 

Higher Ground 2018 was the fourth time I attended this conference. Each year it gets better and better.

 

Great conference! Took my 14 year old son. It was great having some professional athletes share how God moved in their lives.

 

I initially went into this with a low level of expectation, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this event. I was very impressed, I was challenged, and I am extremely happy that I made the decision to go. Thank you to everyone who gave of themselves to plan this day.

 

Brock and Clint really knocked it out of the park in their content, delivery, and encouragement through their own stories. One thread I noticed was obeying the promptings of the holy spirit in their life. I don’t know if that was planned but it really came through. The focus on men coming out of isolation and into spiritual friendship was super helpful. All around big win for our church and men. Thank you!

 

Thank you so much for this much needed ministry….This has given me tools for my own recovery, and has given me tools to help protect my family.

 

I came with my 16 year old son who plays sports, to have Brock Huard and Clint Gresham at conference was so good for him as well myself. To large figures in sports that could share God’s heart with 700 men is without a doubt a blessing to us all.
