Ark Encounter
As a man, you’re called to act like one! Not with sinful bravado and licentious exploits, like popular “masculine” voices today urge—nor with apathy and laziness, passing the buck of responsibility to someone else, like the popular portrayal of husbands and fathers. Godly men act like true men with a watchfulness, firmness, and strength that comes only from the Lord.
Discover how to ignite your faith into a fire that burns for Christ, impacting families, churches, and communities for now and eternity with practical application and solid teaching from God’s Word at our 2026 Answers for Men conference.
Registration includes two days of keynote sessions from respected Christian men—such as Answers in Genesis’ Ken Ham, Pastor Jack Hibbs, Dr. Owen Strachan, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore, author Chuck Black, and Darrell Harrison of Just Thinking Ministries—as well as admission to both the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. Bring your sons, grandsons, and nephews (recommended for ages 12+) or organize a group from your church.
