The stadium housing the event was enormous. It appeared to hold about 10,000 to 12,000 on the evening of my keynote. This was probably the largest group to which I have had the honor to speak.

The Pierpont family offered a tremendous musical presentation for the opening night at Knoxville. We were delighted to learn that they regularly peruse “Doug’s Blog.”

One of the highlights of the event was spending time with Shawn Cohen, the young man assigned as my escort. He demonstrated sincerity, humility, personal attention, and a can-do spirit which blessed my personal staff.

Mr. Gothard was the perfect host, making sure that all of his speakers were well cared for, and visiting with us on multiple occasions to pray and share his heart for the event.

One of my break-out workshop sessions was entitled “The Most Important Questions in a Man’s Life.” Here I address a group of young men on that subject.
