5 Minute ‘Look Back’

If you missed GMM2021, or even if you came: watch this 5 minute “look back” extract of a few of the best parts.
The first extract is from Dr. Dick Berry’s “Spotlight on Hope” — be equipped, as a Christian, to prevent suicide.

Second, remember Chaplain Vince Shaw’s (USAF) “Pastor Blast”, and watch him get hooked off the stage. 😀

Want to go deeper? Watch both of these addresses in their entirety, and more, through the GMM2021 webpage.

Hold the Date, and get psyched for this year’s theme: Do the Word… Speak the Truth

He is a renowned person of influence in culture, politics, and the church: a Christian leader speaking spiritual truth to power about hard issues for years.

The GMM 2021 conference has Dr. Dick Berry in our speaker lineup, and a networking breakout session with BONUS CONTENT right after the general conference about how The Church (laymen and leaders) and professionals who have opportunities to speak about spiritual values can share real hope with those struggling.
  • Pastor Blasts will come from 4 regional Christian pastors/leaders.

We won’t turn anyone away, but this is a men’s conference, and there will be a spiritual message specifically for men, fellowship over light refreshments with hundreds of brothers in Christ from many traditions, and some fun & humor.More info at godsmightymen.com. Watch for our banners around town, and get your church to make an announcement with Pastor Sam’s 1 minute challenge video!
Before and after last year’s great conference, we’ve all endured many months of zoom calls and online-events, and know how excited everyone is to gather in person, face-to-face. That’s why GMM is a live, in-person event!  Masks are encouraged but optional: we know we can count on each other to be respectful of others’ desires to social distance or mask up, and we’re saving some seating capacity to allow those who want extra space to have it.Don’t miss out, and don’t let your friends miss out because they didn’t know!

Iron sharpens iron… and One Man Sharpens Another. Share Life!

NOTE FROM THE GMM “HUB” for the 2020 God’s Mighty Men conference


This 2020 conference theme comes from Prov27:17 – we are to sharpen each other as we share life in real friendships between guys. This sharpening will happen as all sorts of men, during and after our conference, walk out the inspiration they glean from the event.

We will be strengthened, enlightened, and unified as we hear from our main speaker, as well as three minute “pastor blasts” from pastors and ministry leaders from our region, according to what God has put on their hearts. We’ll also have fun as we enjoy fellowship and refreshments during the break.

As brothers in Christ, sharing life spans generations, congregations, ethnicities, work, maturity in Christian faith, and all sorts of other differences and networks.  It’s time for the church to be the church… to shine brightest when things are darkest. May we stand in unity, in the power of God, “for such a time as this.”

In setting up this year’s event, your GMM board (also known as the “Hub”) has been blessed to enjoy many new and ongoing friendships. Also, this conference could not happen without the gracious participation of our speakers and others on stage, the hard work of many local volunteers, and generous  support from many church and corporate sponsors. THANK YOU!

God’s Men at the Weight Bench

In this 4 minute video clip from our GMM 2019 conference, keynote speaker Pastor Scott Bloyer illustrated 2Cor1:24 with four pastors around the weight bench.

My brothers of God’s Mighty Men: how can WE this apply this, sharing life with other brothers in Christ across ALL our networks of relationships? Let’s be intentional in walking this out.

How about extending these pastors’ weight bench “lifting partner” illustration to these possibilities:

• Among your family, extended family and closest friends?

• At fellowship of your congregation?

• Among co-workers of your church, and partners with other church/para-church ministries?

• In your secular organization relationships with Christian co-workers and volunteers?

• Among Christian acquaintances, neighbors, and casual friends with shared interests?

In order of appearance:

• Scott Bloyer, Pastor, Elevation Christian Church – Aurora, CO

• Fred Gallop, Pastor-in-residence, Element Church – Cheyenne WY

• Christopher Xanthos – Presbyter, Orthodox Church – Cheyenne WY

• Ernesto Hastey, Pastor, Iglesia Bautista Emanuel – Cheyenne WY
