Former Atlanta Braves baseball star Sid Bream will speak at the 413 Men’s Conference on April 29 in Jasper.
Bream’s famous game-winning slide against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 7 of the 1992 National League Championship Series propelled the Braves to the World Series.
The conference will be held in the auditorium at Jasper High School and hosted by Blanton Media Group.
“Men, there is nothing more important during this time in your life than to make a stand for your faith,” Bream said. “Your family, friends, coworkers and community need to see what a godly man looks like. Please join me and others on April 29 at Jasper High School to be encouraged and strengthened to live an honorable life in Christ.”
Other speakers
Bream is part of a speaking lineup that includes former University of Alabama and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brodie Croyle, who now serves as president and CEO of Big Oak Ranch in Gadsden and Springville, and Francois Fineberg, a native South African who heads the Legacy School of Discipleship in Dadeville.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit Big Oak Ranch, a Christian home that has been relieving the suffering of abused, neglected and abandoned children since 1974. Presenting sponsor is Carl Cannon Chevrolet Buick GMC in Jasper. Other sponsors of the event include Northside Baptist Church in Jasper and First Baptist Church Dora.
Strengthening men’s faith
According to Al Blanton, conference organizer and owner of Blanton Media Group, the purpose of the conference is to help men strengthen their Christian faith with an emphasis on leading their families and living in the truth of God’s Word. More than 80 men attended the inaugural two-day event in July 2022, and Blanton anticipates even more this year.
In addition to the three guest speakers, the conference will host several breakout speakers including George Shamblin, author of “The Relay” and staff member at the Center for Executive Leadership in Birmingham; Bob Waldrep, president and founder of the Crosswinds Foundation of Faith and Culture; and Robert “Bunky” Smith, director of missions for Muscle Shoals Baptist Association.
