The Power of Your Testimony

Wesley is an apologist, speaker, writer, and scholar currently pursuing his doctorate in New Testament at the University of Toronto’s Wycliffe College. Listen in as Wesley and Gabe Lyons discuss why the Bible is making a comeback and what trends are fueling the resurgence.

Why the Bible is Making a Comeback

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?

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

Bestselling author, speaker, and co-founder of Messenger International, John Bevere has spent decades calling believers to deeper intimacy with God through reverence and obedience. In this talk, John unpacks what it means to have a healthy fear of God—not a fear that drives us away, but one that draws us closer in awe, respect, and devotion. He explains why a proper understanding of this biblical concept is crucial for a thriving faith and how it unlocks deeper wisdom, boldness, and blessing in our lives. 

A Healthy Fear of God

Dr. Jeff Myers, President of Summit Ministries, unpacks how well-meaning ideas can sometimes have destructive consequences. He helps us sharpen our discernment so we can recognize false narratives, think critically, and respond with wisdom and conviction.  
He challenges us to engage thoughtfully with the messages we encounter, asking deeper questions and testing ideas against truth rather than emotion or cultural trends.
He also equips us with the tools to spot and challenge misleading ideologies while offering a compelling, hope-filled alternative. 


Identifying Bad Ideas with Good Intentions

Are you walking with pebbles in your shoes? Therapist and author Jason VanRuler offers this simple metaphor as a way to show how unbearable and damaging secrets can be if we don't address them. With leaders in church and culture falling all around us, it's important for us to understand the gravity of secrets. Jason points out that we all have two choices in dealing with our secrets: We can disclose them or we can deny them. Watch as he encourages Christian leaders to create a Luke 12:2 rhythm of bringing any darkness into the light by employing the LIGHT Model for accountability.

Expose Your Secret

Ever wonder what really drives your emotions, your choices, and your relationship with yourself and others? Author, speaker and executive coach Mike Foster teaches the Primal Question Framework that includes the 7 important questions people should ask to help uncover what drives their deepest need. These questions help us identify old wounds and patterns that continue to sabotage our story and empower us to move forward in freedom. Watch now to pinpoint your primal question.

Uncovering What Drives You

Pastor, author, and hip-hop artist, Trip Lee has spent years using his platform to call people to authentic faith in Christ. In this talk, Trip unpacks how we often fall into the subtle trap of calling things “good” when, in reality, they’ve taken God’s place in our hearts. He challenges us to rethink what we truly worship and whether the things we pursue—success, relationships, comfort—are actually distractions from a deeper devotion to God. Trip makes it clear that God alone is worthy of our ultimate affection and trust, and anything else—no matter how good—becomes dangerous when it takes His place.


The Subtle Trap of Calling Idolatry

In the midst of a culture where young leaders are navigating an increasingly secular world and are constantly being led astray, deceived, and confused, evangelist and bible teacher Gabrielle McCollough offers scriptural truth and encouragement. Watch as she invites the next generation to stay strong and resilient by anchoring themselves to Christ.

She knows firsthand the bondage that debt causes, having successfully paid off over $460,000 in personal consumer and student loan debt with her husband. She calls out a culture dependent on debt and educates us on the scam of the FICO score and credit cards. She shows us how a life built on debt takes away our choice, our autonomy, our freedom and our flourishing.
