No Regrets 2027 Will Call Men Nationwide to Follow Jesus

The No Regrets Leadership Podcast published a September 17, 2026, conversation with Vince Miller that previews his role at the 2027 No Regrets Men’s Conference and connects Christian leadership directly to following Jesus. The official conference materials confirm that the event will be held Saturday, February 6, 2027, with the primary live gathering at Elmbrook Church, 777 South Barker Road, Brookfield, Wisconsin. Churches around the United States may participate as host sites, men may organize registered small-group gatherings in homes, workplaces, dorms, or community spaces, and individuals may purchase a livestream. That structure makes the conference nationally accessible while preserving the ministry’s emphasis on men gathering with other men rather than consuming content in isolation. The 2027 theme, “Follow Me,” is drawn from Matthew 16:24 and frames the day around Jesus’ call to deny oneself, take up the cross, and follow Him. Organizers describe the purpose as helping men move from passive faith to active discipleship through biblically grounded teaching, worship, discussion, and authentic brotherhood. The official site lists Larry Osborne, Ricky Jenkins, Chip Ingram, Steve Sonderman, Dusty Davis, Bryan Loritts, Greg Stier, Kondo Simfukwe, and Vince Miller among the featured communicators. At Elmbrook, the published schedule runs from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with early-bird seminars beginning at 7:00, general sessions, three breakout periods, discussion breaks, and live worship. Host churches receive the event feed and multiple seminar channels, while registered participants retain access to conference content afterward. The conference website also promises a six-week follow-up study so that the day can lead into continued discipleship rather than end as a one-time motivational experience.

Men considering the conference should decide first how they will gather and what faithful follow-through will look like. Those able to travel to Brookfield can register for the full live experience at Elmbrook Church; others can search for a participating host church, ask their congregation to become a host, assemble a registered small group, or use the individual streaming option. Pastors and men’s ministry leaders should review the technical and registration requirements early, test the video feed, identify a room that supports both clear viewing and honest conversation, and recruit facilitators who will keep discussion centered on Scripture. Individual attendees can prepare by reading Matthew 16:24 in context and writing one concrete question about following Christ in marriage, fatherhood, singleness, work, integrity, prayer, church service, or witness. During the event, the goal should not be to collect impressive quotes or compare speakers, but to listen carefully, test every claim by the Bible, confess where obedience has become passive, and name a next step that another Christian man can help sustain. The recommended book, R. Kent Hughes’s 2019 updated paperback edition of Disciplines of a Godly Man, fits that purpose especially well. Crossway identifies practical chapters on purity, marriage, fatherhood, friendship, devotion, prayer, worship, integrity, work, perseverance, church, leadership, giving, witness, and ministry, together with study questions for application. The book does not replace local-church membership, pastoral care, or accountable friendship, but it gives men and small groups a substantial biblical framework for continuing the conference’s call to active discipleship. A useful plan is to choose one chapter that addresses a present weakness, discuss it with another man during the six-week follow-up period, and establish a specific practice of Scripture, prayer, service, or reconciliation. The practical reason to attend is therefore not simply to feel encouraged for one Saturday; it is to begin following Jesus with greater clarity and spiritual courage in the ordinary responsibilities God has already given.
