About

Men’s Conference 2026 is a call to action for men who refuse to drift, disengage, or run from conviction. In a world that trains men to escape, numb, and hide, God is calling men to rise up, act like men, and own the call.

Rooted in 1 Corinthians 16:13, this conference is about returning to God’s original design for men – not domination or passivity, but responsibility, faithfulness, and strength under submission. It’s an invitation to move beyond comfortable belief into living obedience. Beyond avoiding temptation into pursuing righteousness. Beyond hearing truth into doing it.

Over the course of the conference, men will be challenged to embrace a faith that works – one that stands firm when culture shifts, obeys when it’s costly, and remains anchored when pressure mounts. Because, when men own the call, homes are strengthened, marriages are restored, children gain stability, and legacies are formed.

Because when men Own the call
homes are strengthened

This is more than an event. It’s a moment to decide your direction.

Pokluda
Jonathon

Jonathan “JP” Pokluda is the Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, a 145-year-old congregation where he has served since 2019. Before moving to Waco, he led the largest weekly young adult gathering in the country. Although raised in church, JP didn’t come to understand the grace of the Gospel until his early twenties. That encounter with Christ ignited a passion to see the next generation radically follow Jesus and be unleashed to change the world. He is the author of several best-selling books, including Welcome to Adulting, Outdated, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do?, and his most recent release Your Story Has a Villain (2025), which equips readers to recognize spiritual warfare and stand firm in Christ. JP and his wife, Monica—his partner in ministry since 2004—have the joy of raising and discipling their three children: Presley, Finley, and Weston.

Parker
Drew

GRAMMY and CMA Award-nominated singer-songwriter and Covington, Georgia native Drew Parker crafts music with a timeless, heartfelt sound that is deeply rooted in Christian faith, while maintaining his knack for classic country tradition and storytelling. After a decade of chart-topping success – including a GRAMMY Award nomination for co-writing Luke Combs’ hit “Doin’ This” and BMI Song of the Year honors for the multi-week No. 1 “Forever After All” – Parker found himself at a personal crossroads. Despite accolades, radio hits and industry recognition, something still felt missing. In a quiet moment of surrender, he asked God for direction, and what followed was a calling to use his platform for a higher purpose. That calling has led him into a bold new chapter of Christian music, where his deep country roots meet a renewed focus on faith and truth. His recent track, “Blame Jesus”, marks the beginning of his transformation and a return to the heart of why he began writing songs. Parker’s 2024 debut album, Camouflage Cowboy (Warner Music Nashville), solidified his reputation not just as a hitmaker, but as a devoted husband, father, man of faith and trusted collaborator. His breakout 2020 EP While You’re Gone topped SiriusXM's "The Highway" chart and earned him MusicRow’s “DisCovery Award,” leading to a spot on SiriusXM’s prestigious “Future Five” list. Since then, he’s become a regular performer at the Grand Ole Opry and toured extensively across the country, including a standout run as a featured act on Luke Combs’s Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour. Raised in the red clay of Covington, Georgia, and inspired by ’90s country icons like Ronnie Dunn and Travis Tritt, Parker has penned hits for some of the genre’s biggest names like Luke Combs’ “1, 2 Many” (featuring Brooks & Dunn), Jake Owen’s “Homemade” and cuts for Blake Shelton, Zac Brown Band and HARDY. Drew Parker is represented by Make Wake Artists, CAA, Relative Music and Shore Fire Media. For tour dates, music and more, visit drewparkermusic.com.
