Christian entrepreneurs nationwide flock to Life Surge events for a variety of reasons — and they’re explaining why in reviews on YouTube. Combining passion with purpose, the faith-based movement draws sold-out crowds through its faith-focused approach to entrepreneurship and wealth-building.
Life Surge joins worship with practical business strategies, creating powerful transformations for attendees. CEO Joe Johnson founded Life Surge as a “vision for hope” and “a global movement of people surging their lives God’s way.”
What Life Surge Reviews Reveal
Small business owner Kayla D. is one of those people living that mission. She attended with her best friend after seeing a Facebook post.
“I’m a small-business owner and my husband is as well, so we’re new entrepreneurs and this was an exciting event to come to,” Kayla D. said. “It’s important to have faith in my business because it is the only path of success I have had. It’s the way I make every decision. I literally couldn’t separate the two.”
The reviewer added she recently had to make some major business decisions and the event provided some clarity for her.
“I hired another part-time employee for my business and so we were expanding and I was facing a lot of self-doubt and fear,” she reflected. “[I was] just feeling like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m out on the limb. Jesus catch me.’ And [Life Surge] reiterated several times just that the risk is just the part of the growth and so it was just very confirming and encouraging.
“I was bawling during the first two speakers just because I felt like this wave of just confirmation that I’m doing the right thing, and so I’m just incredibly excited to have the opportunity to be here and be encouraged today.”
The Power of Live Connection
While connecting virtually is a part of life in 2025, Johnson and Life Surge see the value in honoring human, face-to-face connection.
“Being live and in person, in community with people in your backyard, in essence, from your own community who are searching for something greater, adds a lot,” Johnson says.
This philosophy resonates deeply with executive life coach Sofia C., who raved about the instant connections formed before the doors even opened.
“I’m an executive life coach and I came to Life Surge. I’m so grateful for my BFF Lily bringing me,” Sofia C. revealed in a candid review. “Also, I came to Life Surge to be fed. I’m an entrepreneur and I’m always pouring out, pouring out, pouring out, and especially as a coach, so I came to be poured into.”
One thing Sofia C. mentioned she picked up at the event was “that business does not have to compete with you as a believer.”
The satisfied attendee added she was impressed with “the instantaneous community” she experienced.
“I was outside. We haven’t even opened the doors yet and already we’ve made connections and exchanged information,” she shared. “I just love community, so that was an extra cherry on top. I would completely recommend Life Surge. In fact, I’m looking on the website now, like when you know next year can I sign up. It is such an opportunity to be poured into as an entrepreneur and we really, really need that, so I’m so grateful.”
Marketplace Ministry Movement
The events focus on four key pillars: worship, wisdom, work, and wealth. The sessions teach revenue growth strategies, kingdom mindset activation, and wealth-building techniques while maintaining strong spiritual foundations. This comprehensive approach attracted major speakers, including football hero Tim Tebow, entrepreneur Ed Mylett, leadership guru John C. Maxwell, and Soul Surfer author Bethany Hamilton.
The organization shows remarkable momentum, with 30 live events planned in 2025 with dates across the country. The movement aims to fulfill Billy Graham Jr.’s prophecy that “one of the next great moves of God is going to be through believers in the workplace.”
