Pastor James Griffin | Act Like Men Conference | 2026

You came. You were challenged. Now what?

In this closing session of the Act Like Men conference, James Griffin pulls the whole weekend together with a message from 1 Peter 5:6–11 — and a warning most men won't want to hear. If you walk out of here and try to white-knuckle this on your own, you'll crush it for about a week, then quietly drift back into the same man you've always been.

Instead, Griffin lays out four things every man needs to stand firm for the long haul: the hand of God, humbling yourself and casting your anxieties on him; the word of God, staying sober-minded and using Scripture as a weapon; the Spirit of God, who assures, guides, and empowers when the lion comes; and the people of God, because isolated men are easy to devour.

Along the way: why nine out of ten anxious men have a control problem rather than a clinical one, the drunk man in the watchtower, and the phone call about his brother-in-law he's never forgotten.

If you're tired of the slow fade, watch this one all the way through.
