Leadership can be lonely. The weight of ministry is heavy. And in times like these—where division is rampant and the next generation is often misunderstood or criticized—I think we need to fight for community among other leaders.

Young Pastors Summit is a gathering with space for you to step away from the demands of ministry and take your cape off. It’s a chance to connect with other pastors who understand the unique pressures you face as a young pastor, to build friendships that will sustain you for the long haul, and to be poured into as much as you pour into others.

Dr. Arianna Molloy, Associate Professor of Organizational Communication at Biola University and author of Healthy Calling dives into the realities of burnout from your calling.

 
As part of IVP, an organization dedicated to creating and publishing resources that deepen lives in Christ while engaging the university, the church, and the world, she tells us why our calling matters and how it connects us relationally to the Caller, Jesus Christ. She encourages us to avoid the temptations of workaholism and job idolization and evaluate where we are on the spectrum of burnout.

Should Christians Manifest?

Spiritual Formation

At the Asbury Outpouring, pastor and revival leader Zach Meerkreebs witnessed firsthand what happens when people make room for the Holy Spirit to work. In this talk, Zach unpacks how we can posture ourselves to receive an outpouring of God’s presence. He calls us to move beyond just longing for revival and instead take practical steps to create space for God to move in our lives, our churches, and our culture. Zach reminds us that revival isn’t something we manufacture—it’s something we prepare for. 
He challenges us to ask: Are we creating space for God to move, or are we too distracted, too busy, or too skeptical to welcome His presence?
Zach makes it clear that when we surrender, seek Him, and cultivate expectant faith, we create the conditions for an outpouring that can transform not just our lives, but entire communities.

Listen in as she implores the next generation of leaders to understand the truth of God’s unique design and encourages women to come together and reclaim their femininity to, in turn, make all of mankind stronger.
