Join us for the ManUp West Power Lunch and listen to John Huyhn. Huyhn - Director of Social Justice for the Diocese of Des Moines and Catholic Charities - will present "Anchoring to the Incarnation In an Age of Counterfeit Truths." In a post-Christian world that champions new absolutes and shifting “truths,” Advent calls us to anchor ourselves in the enduring reality of the Incarnation. Join us as we explore how Christ’s coming reveals the true, unchanging foundation that transcends today’s counterfeit beliefs. This presentation challenges us to deepen our faith in the power of Christian conviction, standing firm against cultural tides with a hope grounded in God’s unshakable Word. Rediscover what it means to be rooted in faith in a world that seeks to redefine it. Lunch is provided.
