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.

In this THINQ moment, Pastor Alex Seeley of The Belonging Co tackles this increasingly popular subject of "manifesting." She gives us five important questions to ask in discerning this and any new philosophy that comes up in culture. Watch now as she helps us understand what "manifesting" really is and whether or not this should be a practice in the Christian faith.

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.



Creating Space for an Outpouring

Master craftsman Matt Impola explores the intersection of faith, creativity, and meaningful work. Matt shares why craftsmanship still matters in a world of mass production and instant gratification. He challenges us to rethink the way we approach our work—whether in wood, words, or any other craft—and to see excellence, beauty, and attention to detail as acts of worship. In a culture that often prioritizes speed and efficiency over quality, Matt reminds us to slow down, to embrace the process, and to create things that are not only functional but meaningful. 

The Future of Craftsmanship

With a message for both women and men, internationally known speaker and New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere addresses the confusing gender identity narratives in our culture. She calls out how God's original design of male and female has turned from a power union to a power struggle to the point that now women are acting like men and men are acting like women. 

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.
