The Call to Minister in Every Generation | Panel Discussion

What does it take to pass the torch without losing the fire?

In this powerful multi-generational panel, six leaders—Carter Conlon, Gary Wilkerson, Evan Wilkerson, Alberto Bello, Ron Brown, and Jonathan Laurie—gather to answer the call that spans every era: to minister with courage, clarity, humility, and conviction.

With a rich blend of wisdom and vulnerability, each panelist opens up about:

• Recognizing God’s call in their own lives

• Communicating the Gospel in a biblically illiterate generation

• Wrestling with loneliness and the cost of leadership

• The urgency of discipleship and succession in ministry

You’ll hear stories of rebellion and redemption, the importance of vulnerability over image, and the sacred power of saying, “Yes, Lord—even when it costs.”

“We don’t own anything. We’re stewards. The church belongs to Jesus.”

“If we lose our awe and wonder, we start doing ministry in our own strength.”

“It’s not a baton you pass and lose—it’s a torch that keeps burning.”

This panel will inspire you to keep your heart soft, your hands open, and your fire burning. Whether you’re new to ministry or decades in, this conversation will rekindle your call and reconnect you to the One who called you.
