Patriot Mobile was proud to participate in TPUSA Faith Forward Pastors’ Summit, held April 21–23, 2026 in Grapevine, Texas. As the largest pastors’ summit to date, the event welcomed more than 1,200 pastors and church leaders from across the nation, all united in their commitment to strengthening the Church and advancing biblical truth in today’s culture.
Hosted by Turning Point USA Faith, the Faith Forward Summit served as an important gathering focused on equipping church leaders to lead boldly and without compromise. Through keynote sessions, breakout discussions, and meaningful fellowship, attendees were encouraged to return to foundational doctrine, deepen discipleship, and reignite evangelism within their communities.
Throughout the summit, speakers delivered a resounding message: the Church must rise to meet the cultural moment with courage and conviction. Author and speaker Eric Metaxas captured this sentiment, stating, “To pretend that you can get liberty on the American model without the God of the Bible guiding his people, you cannot, you will not.” His words emphasized the foundational role faith plays in sustaining freedom.
Leaders also highlighted the responsibility of pastors to engage both spiritually and culturally. Erika Kirk challenged attendees with a powerful reminder: “If pastors stood fully and unapologetically in their calling, there would be no cultural force strong enough to withstand what God could do through his Church.” This call to bold leadership was echoed throughout the event, reinforcing the importance of standing firm in truth.
The intersection of faith and civic responsibility was another key theme. Frank Turek urged pastors not to shy away from engagement, stating, “If for no other reason, you need to be engaged politically is to protect your ability to preach and live the gospel.” He further challenged the audience with a direct perspective: “Are you telling me Jesus got involved in politics? Yes. And he wasn’t so nice doing it.”
Speakers also highlighted the role of the Church in leading, not following, cultural movements. Lucas Miles affirmed this responsibility, saying, “I believe it is up to the Church right now to lead from the front. We should not be following the conservative movement. We should be leading the conservative movement.”
Reflecting on the broader impact of the event, Seth Dillon noted, “Charlie Kirk was pointing us back to God’s Word and the Constitution, which is predicated on Christian values.” His observation captured the summit’s focus on aligning faith with the principles that have historically guided the nation.
At Patriot Mobile, we believe that strong communities are built on a foundation of faith and principled leadership. As pastors return to their congregations empowered and equipped, the impact of their leadership will extend far beyond the church, reaching families, communities, and the culture at large.
Patriot Mobile remains committed to supporting organizations and events that uphold our shared values and strengthen the pillars of faith and freedom across America.
