Throughout the day, speakers emphasized practical application, equipping attendees with tools they can implement immediately in areas such as biblical stewardship, leadership development, and entrepreneurship, reflecting Life Surge’s commitment to build and serve, not merely inspire.

What stood out most was the overwhelming response to the Gospel invitation, with 1,612 attendees publicly responding to follow Christ during the event.

“What we experienced in Sacramento was extraordinary,” said Shawn Marcell, President of Life Surge. “Seeing 36% of the audience respond to the Gospel reminds us why we do what we do. It’s a powerful reminder that when believers gather to grow in faith and stewardship, God moves in remarkable ways.”

“Life Surge exists to equip Christians for Kingdom impact in the marketplace, helping them steward their lives, work, and resources with eternal purpose,” said Marcell. “Our one-day experience advances what Life Surge calls economic discipleship, the biblical call to multiply what God has entrusted to us. As a for-profit education company boldly centered on the Gospel, Life Surge demonstrates that business can be both profitable and profoundly evangelistic.”

Across the country, the movement is seeing tens of thousands make decisions for Christ while also equipping believers to grow in influence, discipline, and vocational stewardship. Attendees are challenged to embrace vocational stewardship, recognizing their careers and businesses as platforms for Gospel influence. In 2025, more than 25,000 people chose to walk with Jesus at a Life Surge event.

“We believe God cares about how we steward every area of our lives,” Marcell added. “When believers grow in discipline, generosity, and leadership, the impact extends far beyond the arena. That’s how the Kingdom surges.”

The Sacramento gathering continues strong national momentum as Life Surge expands its 2026 tour season into additional major markets including San Antonio, St. Louis, and Kansas City. For more information, visit LifeSurge.com.

Life Surge Marks 2025 With Record Impact

2025 Highlights Include 25,541 Decisions for Christ and 117,196 One-Day Event Attendees—An All-Time High for the Company

TAMPA, December 19, 2025 – Life Surge, a for-profit live events and education company designed to equip Christians for Kingdom impact, reveals extraordinary results from 2025 demonstrating how God can use business as a powerful vehicle for eternal transformation.

Over the course of the year, 117,196 people attended Life Surge one-day events, resulting in an extraordinary 25,541 decisions for Christ.

The impact continued long after the arenas emptied. Life Surge supported 14,000 active students in ongoing leadership development, funded 1.25 million YouVersion Bible downloads, and gave $3.2 million to Kingdom causes in 2025.

“Five years ago, we were just an idea… and now here we are, with a for-profit education company that is also a high-impact evangelistic ministry where we see literally thousands of people give their lives to Christ every month,” said Joe Johnson, Founder of Life Surge. “We made the decision to do it God’s way all the way—and God has helped us ignite a revival in the marketplace.”

Those numbers matter not for applause, but because behind every number is an eternal story,” said Shawn Marcell, President of Life Surge. “Every person who responded represents a life changed, a family impacted, and an eternal destiny redirected toward Christ.”

Life Surge’s model, operating as a profitable business while advancing Gospel outcomes, has drawn affirmation from respected Christian leaders. “You may be the single most evangelistic business in the history of the world,” said Craig Groeschel, Founding Pastor of Life.Church at a recent Life Surge gathering. “You’re proving that a business can be profitable, God-honoring, and unapologetically centered on the Gospel.”

In 2026, plans include continuing to invest in its educational offerings and significant ministry partnerships.

Living the Mission: Life Surge Invests in Next Generation Through Service at Inspiration Academy

Marketing Admin — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 18:54:09 +0000

The Bradenton service project reflects Life Surge’s mission to equip people to grow their faith, future, and impact.

Bradenton, Fla. (August 13, 2025) – Last week, the Life Surge team put their mission into action—rolling up their sleeves to serve at Inspiration Academy in Bradenton as the school prepared to welcome students back for the 2025–2026 school year.

In anticipation of Inspiration Academy’s open house and first week of classes in Manatee County, the Life Surge team worked alongside school staff to refresh and organize the campus. Volunteers landscaped the grounds, painted fences and poles, assembled playground equipment for the new elementary school addition, and prepared classrooms for incoming students.

One highlight of the day was creating and organizing a brand-new library for the elementary students, arranging shelves of books and resources to spark curiosity, encourage learning, and nurture a lifelong love for reading.

“Our mission at Life Surge is to equip people to grow their faith, finances, and future. That starts with serving others right where we live,” said Shawn Marcell, President of Life Surge. “Helping Inspiration Academy prepare for the year ahead is more than a service project, it’s an investment in the next generation of leaders, dreamers, and world-changers.”

For Life Surge, this local outreach reflects the heart of why the movement exists: to inspire and equip people to live out their calling and make an eternal impact in their communities. Whether through its nationwide events, leadership training, or hands-on service, Life Surge is committed to building a culture where Kingdom principles are put into practice.

Revival and Awakening Breaking Out? Christian Leader Sees Something 'Remarkable'

In a powerful interview on CBN’s Newsmakers, Life Surge Co-Founder and President Shawn Marcell spoke with Billy Hallowell about the spiritual momentum sweeping across America. What began as a movement to equip Christians for Kingdom impact in the marketplace has unexpectedly become a catalyst for revival. Marcell shares how Life Surge events have evolved—now always including a gospel invitation—as thousands respond to the call of Christ. From Anaheim to Newark, record-breaking moments of transformation are unfolding as believers discover their “why” and boldly connect faith with finances, calling, and culture. Drawing from over two decades in vocational ministry, Marcell describes a generation awakening to the idea that work is worship, and that revival is no longer confined to the church—it’s breaking out in the marketplace.

Life Surge President Says ‘God Is on the Move’ in a Nation Hungry for Truth

Kelsey Greene — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 13:58:17 +0000

What happens when Christians stop coasting and start stewarding? See how God is stirring thousands to live boldly for His Kingdom through one fast-growing movement.

WRITTEN BY: MICHAEL FOUST
Originally published via crosswalk.com on June 10, 2025.

The president of Life Surge says he sees a spiritual awakening sweeping the nation, as individuals disillusioned by the world’s empty promises are discovering true purpose in the God of the Bible.

Life Surge President Shawn Marcell told Crosswalk Headlines that thousands of men and women are packing arenas regularly to hear how biblical faith and wisdom can reshape every area of life. An event in Anaheim, California this year drew 6,500 attendees—with more than 1,200 making life-changing decisions for Christ.

“The pundits have tried. Everybody’s tried to do something and create this utopian idea of what society can be, absent God,” Marcell told Crosswalk Headlines. “And it has led us over and over and over again down dead ends…
I think God is on the move and that people are beginning to feel that stirring.”

Life Surge events are part-seminar, part worship experience, drawing businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and others seeking to align their faith with their professional calling. Speakers have included Priscilla Shirer, Nick Vujicic, Tim Tebow, John C. Maxwell, Michael Jr., Jeff Foxworthy, and Willie and Korie Robertson, with top Christian artists leading musical worship.

“We gather believers together to talk about how and why to create financial resources for Kingdom impact—how to take your faith and bring it into the skills and giftings God’s called you and created you to do,” Marcell explained.

Importantly, Marcell emphasized that Life Surge does not promote the prosperity gospel—or what he calls the “poverty gospel.”

“You have the prosperity gospel… And we know that’s a false gospel. But there’s also a poverty gospel that says, ‘Hey, we’re just to suffer… don’t engage anything.’
There should be a healthy tension as believers. And I would say that generosity is a good cure for greed.”

According to Marcell, the focus isn’t on wealth itself—but on how it’s used to serve others and glorify God.

“When I build a great company, I employ people. When I employ people, I’m solving poverty…
I create something that then can impact their entire family and cities and beyond.”
