7:00 – 7:45 pm: Guest Speaker, Major General (Retired) Robert Dees, presents “Are You a Tennis Ball or an Egg?

As a country, we are facing the storms of life. As a consequence of an increasingly Godless society, we are in trouble domestically, economically, and culturally. We need to get God back into our families, our schools, and our communities. We also need RESILIENCE like never before! None of us is protected from the storms of life. Now is the time to bounce back and build resilience, “God Style.”

During the evening’s presentation, General Dees will discuss Resilience God Style and the storms of life, specifically:

  • How do we prepare for the storms of life?
  • How do we weather the storms of life?
  • How do we bounce back after the storm?
  • How do we prepare for the next storm?

This presentation is based on 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 GNB — "We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed."

General Dees is a phenomenal speaker who will leave you motivated and wanting more for your life!

Guest Speaker, Major General (Retired) Robert F. “Bob” Dees BIO

  

Major General (Retired) Robert F. “Bob” Dees

  • Major General, U.S. Army, Retired
  • President, National Center for Healthy Veterans

Major General (Retired) Robert F. “Bob” Dees served for 31 years in the U.S. Army in a wide variety of command and staff positions culminating in his last three assignments as Assistant Division Commander for Operations, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault); Commander, Second Infantry Division, United States Forces Korea; and as Deputy Commanding General, V (US/GE) Corps in Europe, concurrently serving as Commander, US-Israeli Combined Task Force for Missile Defense.

On the education front, Bob is a graduate of numerous military schools including the Command and General Staff College, the Naval Postgraduate School, the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, and the Royal College of Defence Studies in London. He has authored and taught Management Science topics in the Department of Engineering at West Point, as well as multiple Resilience courses at Liberty University.

Following military retirement in January 2003, Bob served as a Microsoft Corporation executive; followed by leadership of a non-profit outreach to the military. He authored the Resilience Trilogy (Resilient Warriors, Resilient Leaders, and Resilient Nations) and pioneered resilience programs for the military as Vice President for Military Outreach at Liberty University. In the 2016 Presidential cycle, Bob served as National Security Advisor and Campaign Chairman for Dr. Ben Carson. Bob now heads Resilience God Style, a national movement to restore resilience to every area of American life, including recent publication of the Resilience God Style book, study guide, video series, and training game (https://resiliencegodstyle.com/).

As a thought leader on Veterans’ outreach programs, Bob is a senior advisor for the newly formed Faith-based Veterans Support Alliance (FBVSA). Bob is also President of the National Center for Healthy Veterans (https://www.healthyveterans.org/) with the mission of “Returning Healthy Veterans to America.” This broad and comprehensive Healthy Veteran initiative ranges from trauma recovery using best practice, faith-based programs to veteran microbusinesses which afford dignified work, skills training, and economic opportunity. Community is a critical element of the initiative, including veteran tiny home villages for formerly homeless Veterans and others. While the Healthy Veteran initiative will help Veterans, the real winner is America with Healthy Veterans positively impacting culture as role models for our youth, as experienced leaders in business, and as standard bearers in every walk of life.

Bob speaks at numerous seminars and conferences, as well as commentary on national security, leadership, and resilience in a wide array of media, military, business and church venues. He was featured as one of 30 “Master Leaders” in America by noted author George Barna and was awarded the Council for National Policy George Washington Military Leadership Award in 2018.

Bob and wife Kathleen have been married for 47 years, and together have two children and eight grandchildren. They are grateful for the privilege of serving God, Nation, and Others during these critical times.
