No Regrets Leadership Podcast

This week we are relooking at a seminar called Redeeming Work by Skye Jethani, one of our platfrom speakers that is returning this year!    Most Christians divide the world into two categories; sacred and secular. We will look at the origin of this dualistic and unbiblical vision of the world and how it does incalculable harm to our faith and the world and how recovering a proper vision of what God cares about can transform the value of our vocations.    Conference Website: https://www.noregretsconference.org/ Ministry Website: https://www.noregretsmen.org/

No Regrets signs veteran leader, prepares for Conference push BROOKFIELD, Wis. - No Regrets Men’s Ministry announced this week the signing of veteran leader Ron Sweet as its new Director of Church Engagement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Sweet, 52, joins No Regrets with more than 30 years of church ministry experience including assignments in Virginia, Florida and most recently Missouri. As the leader of one of the largest ministries to men in the greater St. Louis area, Sweet exits his post as campus pastor at The Crossing in order to help bolster No Regrets’ church relations. “Ron brings a wealth of experience to our team,” said Steve Sonderman, founder and executive director of the ministry. “It is great to get some veteran help as we grow and expand the team. We were looking for the right guy who can get out there and build relationships and be the relational arm of our ministry.” Originally from a small town in northern Illinois, Sweet attended Judson University in Elgin, IL where he played two seasons for the Eagles Men’s Basketball team. To this day, the 6-1 former prep standout enjoys working out, watching college football and basketball as well as attending music concerts. “Ron is a great character guy, said Sonderman. “He brings a real heart for the local church and has strong relational skills that will enable him to relate well to churches across the country.” Upon earning his undergraduate degree, Sweet entered vocational ministry as an intern at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, IL before eventually taking a positon as a full-time youth pastor in Florida where he met his wife Michele. The couple of twenty-five years now have three children (21, 19, and 17). Sweet’s pastoral experience include positions overseeing youth, young adult, men and a multi-sitevcampus. His greatest strength is in the area of ministry to men. After attending a No Regrets Conference at Elmbrook Church in 2020, Sweet returned to his church with a vision to reach the men of St. Louis and proceeded to develop the men’s ministry from a handful of individuals to more than 400 strong in just two years. “Ron’s passion for the Lord and drive for excellence will make him a great fit in our organization,” said ministry director Dan Wetzel. I only wish Ron were a Brewers fan.” When asked to respond, Sweet admitted he is a loyal Chicago Cubs fan but added he is “often broken hearted.” Sweet’s addition to the team comes just in time for the build up to the annual No Regrets Conference, set for Saturday, February 3, 2024.

This week we are throwing it back to a seminar from the 30th No Regrets Men's Conference by Mark Batterson titled Play the Man. The will of God is not an insurance plan, it’s a dangerous plan. Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. It’s time to take up your cross and go all in with God. God is calling a generation of men to step up—as husbands, as fathers, as friends—and play the man. 

Brett Clemmer is the president of Man in the Mirror Ministries and has just come out with a new book called the Spiritual Father Guidebook which details how any man can mentor another man. What does mentoring look like and how can we be apart of that? Listen in to find out!
