May 11–21, 2026 | Nathan Burd — The Gospel in a Country 99% Unreached

May 24, 2026 | Paul Epperson — Stepping Into What God Already Started at High Point

Forge Speaker Paul Epperson reports from High Point Church in Colorado, where Forge Speaker and Pastor Caleb McNaughton leads a congregation that includes a significant number of Forge board members, speakers, and staff. Paul describes the event not as a standalone moment but as a stepping stone in something God has already been building there for a long time. People responded in a variety of ways — some for salvation, others taking bold steps of trust in Jesus across different areas of their lives. With Caleb heading into a sabbatical, Paul saw it as a timely spark — a message of abolishing fear and trusting Jesus fully, landing in a church already on the move. This is a firsthand snapshot of a community mid-stride in what God is doing — and a speaker honored just to be a small part of it.

May 11–21, 2026 | Nathan Burd — The Gospel in a Country 99% Unreached

Forge Speaker Nathan Burd reports from Thailand, where he led a Forge Equipping young adult training trip with a team of eleven — ten students plus himself. Thailand is a 0.77% Christian country, meaning more than 99% of its population is unreached. In one village, Nathan asked a woman if she had ever heard of Jesus. She said she thought so — but that no one in the village went by that name. The team of eleven saw people decide to follow Jesus and preached the gospel to around 400 people across the country, partnering on the ground with a ministry doing full-time work there. Nathan reflects on the weight and wonder of the moment — that 2,000 years after Christ, there are still people who have never heard His name. This is a firsthand snapshot of young laborers being sent and a harvest still waiting to be reached.

May 1, 2026 | Dwight Robertson — Hundreds of Men Came Hungry. God Delivered.

Forge Speaker Dwight Robertson reports from Relentless Men, a Colorado men's event where hundreds gathered hungry for more of God, more of His will, and more of His glory. Dwight spoke on opening night, and when he called for decisions, men of all ages and backgrounds came forward — some making the most important decisions of their lives, some receiving Christ for the very first time. One man was overwhelmed with joy, finally understanding that Christ had died for his sins and was offering him both eternal life and a life of meaning and purpose right now. Dwight reflects on what meant most to him — not the stage moments, but the prayer warriors undergirding every bit of it. He speaks directly to those who pray faithfully without seeing the results: God hears, God answers, and from the stage, speakers watch life after life being touched by the Spirit in response to those prayers. This is a firsthand snapshot of men stepping toward Jesus — and the unseen laborers who made it possible.

April 28, 2026 | Melissa Motschenbacher — Raising Kids Who Know Jesus

Forge Speaker Melissa Motschenbacher reports from a MomCo group in South Denver, where she gathered with moms to study the 12-year-old Jesus in Luke 2 and Samuel in 1 Samuel 3. Together they laughed, cried, and dug into what it looks like to put Jesus at the center of motherhood. Melissa challenged the moms to create monumental moments with Jesus for their children — prioritizing praise, prayer, pursuit, pause points, and perseverance — and put tangible tools in their hands to pray for and with their kids. At the end, the MomCo coordinator pulled her aside and shared that three years ago she had heard Melissa speak, and that conversation was what moved her to become a coordinator — so she could create that same environment of encountering Jesus for other women. This is a firsthand snapshot of one conversation rippling forward through three years and a room full of moms.

April 24–25, 2026 | Nathan Burd — God Moving Through the Ignite Campaign in Boulder

Forge Speaker Nathan Burd reports from Boulder, Colorado, where he partnered with Forge Speakers Paul Epperson and Joshua McFadden for a Life on Purpose conference as part of the Ignite campaign. The conference was designed to equip people to be Kingdom Laborers in their own spheres of influence — and Nathan says it was abundantly clear that God was answering the prayers of the Forge family. This is a firsthand snapshot of a team showing up together and watching God move.
