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 what it looks like when a spark meets a fire that God has already been tending.
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 saw people decide to follow Jesus and preached the Gospel to approximately 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 generation of Kingdom Laborers stepping into a harvest that has been waiting 2,000 years.
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 the Kingdom advancing—men stepping toward Jesus, held up by laborers who never left their knees.
