Iron Sharpens Iron:
Men’s Equipping Conference
Church of the Cross, Smithfield RI
What. A. Day.
The first ever national Iron Sharpens Iron conference to be held in Rhode Island was a day we’ll never forget. Nearly 400 men gathered for a day of worship, equipping and connection. Highlighted by our keynote speaker, Nick Surface, co-founder of the Impossible Life podcast, the day was filled with a tremendous energy and spirit.
