What's UpKING
A prestigious gathering of men — summoned to sharpen iron against iron, confront the man in the mirror, and rise as kings of their households, their calling, and their generation.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
The Coronation Begins In
July 25, 2026 · 10:00 AM CDT · Boutwell Auditorium
A summit forged for the unshaken.
One day. Five voices. A single confrontation — the one you've been avoiding.
The Mirror
Face the man you've been. Name the cycles. Bury what needs to die so the king in you can rise.
The Mantle
Purpose is not discovered — it is assumed. Learn to wear the weight of what God placed on your shoulders.
The Legacy
Build beyond your lifetime. Fatherhood, brotherhood, community — the throne you leave, not the one you sit on.

Every king was once a man who chose to rise.
This is your morning. A room full of brothers, a horizon full of light, and one honest conversation with the only opponent that ever mattered.
To build a generation of healthy, whole, and purpose-driven men who lead with integrity, love, compassion — and create lasting change for their families and communities.
We envision a world where every man has access to the support, education, and opportunities needed to break generational cycles, embrace healing, discover his purpose, and leave a legacy that impacts future generations.
Five voices. One throne room.
Men of God, of substance, of scars and testimony — assembling to speak directly to yours.
