Summer 2026 brings eight cities, eight Saturdays, and eight chances to spend a full day surrounded by top Christian speakers, live worship, and a community of people who believe faith and financial purpose belong in the same conversation. From the Carolina coast to the Pacific Northwest, the Life Surge summer tour has something for nearly every corner of the country. Here’s every stop, every venue, and what you need to know to be there.
What Is Life Surge?
Life Surge is a one day, live Christian event that brings together faith and financial education in a single experience. Built on a God-First Educational Approach to financial education, the event combines biblical teaching, practical instruction on real estate and stock market concepts, and stories from entrepreneurs and leaders who have applied stewardship principles to their own resources. Life Surge drew more than 117,000 attendees in 2025, with crowds in individual cities exceeding 5,000 people. The organization has built its entire approach around the idea that faith and financial responsibility belong together, and that growth, when guided by wisdom and accountability, can be directed toward Kingdom impact.
