People attend the one-day conference to be trained and equipped for marketplace ministry, but hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of attendees, are giving their lives to Jesus in what organizers are calling “a move of God.”
Last weekend, 5,030 attended the one-day event in Landover, Maryland, and more than 1,000 people made the life-changing decision to follow Jesus Christ, a spokesperson told CBN News.
“This is not just a conference, it is an experience,” Life Surge President Shawn Marcell said in a video message. “A full day of powerful worship, real-world wisdom, and transformational breakthroughs that can ignite something inside you.”

The weekend event featured a powerhouse roster of speakers, including: author and entrepreneur, Priscilla Shirer; bestselling author and motivational speaker Nick Vujicic; two-time national football champion Tim Tebow; bestselling author, speaker, coach and leader John C. Maxwell;and pastor and author Craig Groeschel.
Each speaker brought unique stories of faith, perseverance, and calling with the goal of leaving a lasting impression on attendees and inspiring them to live out their God-given calling in faith, business, and impact.
“If I had to sum up life surge in one word, I would say there’s so many words that come to mind, but I’m inspired. Inspired to make a change,” said a woman named Carrie.
Life Surge was founded in 2021, but it saw a momentous shift this past summer. Throughout the past year, thousands of people have made decisions for Christ as a result.
“When we first started doing the events, we really didn’t think a lot about doing a gospel presentation because it was marketed primarily to believers,” Marcell recently told CBN News Digital. But he says, “something has shifted in the last several months.”
