Deep sessions on identity, purpose, and leadership. Challenge the lies you've believed about yourself and step into the truth of who God says you are.

Questions
Launching Pad is a free, in person transformational event for Christian men, led by Super Bowl champion Steve Weatherford. Men lay down what they have been carrying and leave with a plan for their home, their work and their calling.
Anywhere from one to four days, depending on the city. The purpose and the outcome are the same every time: men are activated physically, mentally and spiritually and leave with a plan and a brotherhood. Each city's page shows its own schedule.
