For Entrepreneurs, Home Service Owners, Contractors, Sales Professionals, real estate agents, coaches, and ministry leaders
1 Day. One Mission. Eternal Impact.
Hundreds of Christian men and women are rising up and coming together for a powerful 1-day event focused on
faith, leadership, and making a lasting difference.
August 22, 2026 , Bellingham, Washington state

You'll spend the day learning from entrepreneurs and ministry leaders who put Jesus Christ first and lead their organizations with biblical principles. These leaders have built thriving organizations, developed high-performing teams, and created meaningful impact in their communities while staying grounded in their faith.
They'll share practical ways to demonstrate the love of Jesus throughout your organization—through your leadership, culture, customer experience, team development, and the way you serve others. They'll also share the strategies, systems, lessons, victories, failures, and hard-earned wisdom they've gained through years of leadership, growth, and perseverance.
Throughout the day, you'll learn the Core 4 that drive every thriving organization: Marketing, Sales, Delivery, and Operations. You'll discover practical strategies to attract the right people, increase revenue, create exceptional experiences, and build systems that allow your organization to grow with excellence.
Best of all, this event is completely free. We believe God has called us to invest in leaders, entrepreneurs, and ministry builders who want to make a greater impact in their communities. This is our opportunity to pour into others, share what we've learned, and help equip the next generation of leaders.
Come ready to ignite the gifts God has given you, expand the vision Jesus Christ has placed on your heart, strengthen your leadership, and step boldly into your calling.
The people on this stage have built successful organizations, scaled them, run them with God first, and give generously to causes that make a lasting impact. They've also walked through difficult seasons, faced setbacks, overcome failures, and persevered through challenges that tested their faith and leadership. Now they want to share the lessons, principles, and experiences that helped them get there.
Through powerful worship, practical business training, meaningful conversations, and biblical financial wisdom, you'll walk away:
Clear on the calling God placed on your life
Grounded in Scripture when it comes to money, stewardship, and wealth
Equipped with real tools to build a legacy that outlives you
Reignited with purpose to impact your family, your community, and the Kingdom

Founder, The Elliott Group · World's #1 Sales Trainer
Andy Elliott went from selling his dream home and sleeping on a mattress with a wife and kids counting on him, to building one of the fastest-growing sales training companies on the planet. The Elliott Group now trains over 1.3 million sales professionals across 11,000 companies in 176 countries and generates over $160 million annually. His clients aren’t corporations. They’re home service owners, contractors, coaches, and sales teams who needed someone to show them how to close more without compromising who they are. Trusted by Tony Robbins, Ed Mylett, Patrick Bet David, and David Goggins, Andy built everything alongside his wife Jackie, his faith, and his family, not after everything was figured out, but at the exact same time the business was scaling.

Founder, Thrive Life · 3 Exits · Man Up God’s Way Board Member
Tate Jordan built to seven figures before the age of 22, then eight figures, then nine, across three separate companies he scaled and exited before he was 35. He started on a roof at sixteen and never stopped building through nine business failures, three lawsuits, a house fire the day before his wedding, and a legal battle with the state to stay open. He serves on the board of Man Up God's Way Ministries and is currently on track to have his biggest exit with SRS Roofing. He built this summit because he kept meeting men who were good at their craft and stuck in the business around it, and he knows exactly what it costs to figure it out alone.

Construction Entrepreneur · Pastor · Seattle
