This Was Built for the Men Leading Their Families

Published 3 months ago • 2 min read

You train to protect.
You prepare for threats.
You know most men aren’t prepared for either.

But here’s the real question:

Are you leading as hard as you’re preparing?

This July, thousands of men from across the U.S., Canada, and Australia are gathering in Cincinnati for the 1613 Men’s Conference…

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”

And the men taking the stage aren’t theorists.

Kris “Tanto” Paronto — Ranger, CIA contractor, Benghazi. You know the story.
Matt Eversmann — 75th Rangers. Black Hawk Down. Bronze Star with Valor.
Jeff Tiegs — Delta Force LTC. Silver Star. 25 years in America’s most elite units.
Brad Geary — Navy SEAL Captain. Led the nation’s premier counterterrorism unit.
Nick Freitas — Green Beret. 82nd Airborne. Two combat tours in Iraq.
John Lovell — Army Ranger and founder of Warrior Poet Society.

These aren’t men who talk about strength. They’ve lived it under fire. And every one of them will tell you there’s something deeper holding it all together.

That’s why they’re coming to Cincinnati.

Also joining them:

Brian Dawkins — Pro Football Hall of Famer known as “Weapon X.”
Anthony Muñoz — Hall of Fame lineman and one of the toughest men to ever play the game.
Joel Salatin — farmer, entrepreneur, and one of the strongest voices for self-reliance and intentional living in America.

July 17–18, 2026
Cincinnati, Ohio

Attend in person.
Host the livestream at your church.
Or watch from home.

This isn’t about hype, politics, or performance. It’s about men taking responsibility for their faith, families, and leadership.

Men are already registered from 41 states and Canada and Australia.

P.S. — John Lovell (Warrior Poet Society) will be there. If you follow him, you already know why this matters.
