ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Built for Men Who Are Ready to Lead

S.E.E.D. — WHAT GETS PLANTED, GETS PASSED ON.

The Men Getting Real Leadership Conference isn't just something we host once a year and forget about. It's a call. A gathering, sure, but underneath that it's about handing off what got handed to you. Spirit of Excellence (United in Christ) Ministries built this around one idea: what you carry, faith, wisdom, the way you lead, none of it was ever meant to stop with you. That matters everywhere, but especially for African American men trying to stand firm in a world that keeps pulling at both.

What you received wasn't a gift you get to keep. Real teaching, real brotherhood, men showing up for each other instead of performing for each other, that's how a man learns to steward what's his instead of just holding onto it until it fades.

The things you have heard me say... entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others."

- 2 Timothy 2:2

Conference Pillar 1

SOWN

Something was planted in you before you ever knew you'd need it. Honor that. Don't act like you got here alone.


Conference Pillar 2

Entrusted

Holding something and stewarding it aren't the same thing. One just sits there. The other costs you something.


Conference Pillar 3

Equipped

Talent gets you noticed. Character is what's still standing after the noise dies down, starting at home, then the church, then wherever else you're needed.


Conference Pillar 4

Disciple

If it stops with you, you didn't lead. You just held the door for a minute.

One day. A seed worth planting. Spirit of Excellence Ministries, Oxford, MS.
