The theme for 2026, T3 — ‘Test. Transform. Triumph.’ — draws from the powerful biblical significance of ‘40,’ seasons throughout Scripture where God tests faith, brings transformation and prepares His people for victory. From Israel’s time in the wilderness to Jesus’ 40 days in the desert, these moments reveal how God shapes men for what comes next.
“This conference is about meeting men where they are and calling them forward — into deeper faith, stronger leadership and a life fully surrendered to Christ,” organizers shared.
New Hope Church is located at 213 N. Knights Ave. in Brandon. For tickets and more information, visit https://menofvalor2026.rsvpify.com/.
