Since its founding more than 15 years ago, Promise Keepers has held conferences around the nation encouraging Christian men to become better husbands, fathers and neighbors.
Today and tomorrow the organization will bring its latest message, “Unleashed: Releasing the Raw Power of Your Heart,” to Louisville’s Freedom Hall.
It is the third time the organization has come to Louisville. At least 10,000 men have registered, the biggest turnout for any of this year’s conferences, said Steven Chavis, the organization’s director of communications.
The two-day conference has attracted men from Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and other neighboring states.The event will feature speeches, concerts and skits to help men reach their potential, Chavis said.
“We believe every man is called. We want to help him discover that, plug into it and go for it.”
Performers include the Alabama-based band Big Daddy Weave, which Chavis likens to the rock group Dave Matthews Band, and the PK7 worship band.
The conference also features a talk on overcoming the odds by Georgia-based evangelist,who was abandoned as a child and ended up in foster care.
While the conference won’t tell men what their calling is, it will ask the questions that will help them find the answer, Chavis said.
The conference is geared toward men, but Chavis said, “we take all comers,” which means women, skeptics and nonbelievers are welcome.
