StrongMen Group Trip
Lions Roar 2026
CMN's Global Summit — Nov 5–7, 2026, Richardson, TX
“The righteous are bold as a lion!” — Proverbs 28:1
This Year's Theme: BOLD — Filled with His Spirit. Formed for the mission.
Christian Men's Network was founded by Dr. Edwin Louis Cole — the man who wrote Majoring in Men, the curriculum StrongMen runs every week. Lions Roar isn't a random conference. It's the home of our curriculum — and this November, Lions Roar 2026 launches CMN into its 50th anniversary year. Ryan was commissioned by CMN in 2008.
This page gives you everything you need to plan and book this trip yourself — schedule, costs, hotel, travel. Every man registers and pays his own way.

Your Costs
What You'll Pay, and to Whom
Every line below is your cost, paid directly by you to CMN, the airline, or the hotel. StrongMen doesn't invoice you, collect a deposit, or front any of this.
| Item | What You Pay | Paid To |
|---|---|---|
| Registration (men) | $175 early bird / $400 at the door | CMN via Brushfire |
| Registration (young men, 21 & under) | $109 | CMN via Brushfire |
| Registration (women — includes One Heart) | $175 | CMN via Brushfire |
| Flight (GSO → DFW, default) | Varies — book your own | Airline |
| Hotel (Renaissance Dallas Richardson) | $147/night, room split available | Marriott, at booking |
| Ground transport (DFW → hotel → venue) | Varies — no hotel shuttle, plan rideshare/rental | Rideshare / rental company |
| Meals not included in registration | Varies — on your own | Restaurants / on-site |
Registration includes 8 Impact sessions, 3 one-hour Intensives, and 2 MaxMan meals (Friday lunch, Saturday breakfast). Everything else — flight, hotel, ground transport, other meals — is on you.
Early bird pricing is time-limited. As of Aug 19, 2026 Brushfire showed 11 days remaining on the discount, and men's registration goes to $400 at the door. Prices above are read straight off CMN's Brushfire listing — confirm there before you pay.
Wives & Couples
Bringing Your Wife
Lions Roar isn't a men-only lockdown — there's real programming for wives who come along.
- Mixed sessions she can attend with you: Impact 3 (Thu evening), Impact 6 (Fri evening), Impact 8 | Commissioning and the Anointing Service (Sat morning).
- One Heart — a women-only gathering, Friday Nov 6, 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM, built specifically for the wives at Lions Roar.
- A Friday meal is included as part of women's registration.
Women's registration is now open. CMN added a Women's Registration ticket to the same Brushfire listing: $175, individual registration, available until Nov 9, 2026. It covers the mixed sessions and the One Heart event on Friday. She registers on the same page you do — select Women's Registration instead of (or in addition to) Men's Registration.

Included
Parking + Wi-Fi
No airport shuttle. You'll need to plan your own ground transport from DFW to the hotel and from the hotel to Create Church — see Travel below.
Travel
Getting There
Default plan: fly as a group, coordinate ground transport once we land.
- Fly GSO → DFW. Default option — book your own ticket, but flag your dates in the form below so we can compare flights and try to land on the same one.
- Carpool to GSO. If several of us are on the same flight, let's split parking and ride together to the airport.
- DFW → hotel → venue. No hotel shuttle. Plan on rideshare (Uber/Lyft) or a shared rental car — we'll coordinate splitting rides once we know who's landing when.
- Driving or your own arrangements? That's fine too — just note it in the form so we know who's where.
Refund Terms
If You Can't Make It
CMN's policy, not ours — know this before you register. Registrations for men who are unable to attend are donated to CMN's international scholarship fund rather than refunded. Register accordingly, and only after you're confident in your dates.
Register
Lock In Your Spot
Registration is individual — each man signs up and pays through Brushfire directly. Men's, young men's (21 & under), and women's tickets are all on the same listing.
Register on Brushfire →Early bird pricing won't last — register before the rate changes to the door price.
How the Money Works
Every traveler pays CMN, the airline, and the hotel directly. StrongMen does not collect, hold, or subsidize any trip funds. This page exists to help us plan and travel together — not to handle anyone's money.
Questions
Trip Coordinator
Count Me In
Let Us Know You're Coming
This isn't a payment form — it just tells the coordinator who's planning to go, so we can help each other plan flights, rooms, and rides. Register and pay separately on Brushfire.
Already told us you're interested? After you register, submit this form again with the same email address and choose Already Registered. Your existing entry will move to Registered instead of creating a duplicate.
You're On the List, Brother.
The coordinator has your info and the trip list below has been updated. If you register later, submit this form again with the same email to move your name to Registered.
