Nashville recently played host to the largest gathering of faith leaders in the United States as Christian experts from across the country congregated in Tennessee for the Pastors Summit organized by Turning Point USA Faith.
The three-day Pastors Summit drew over 1,100 pastors, ministry leaders, and faith figures, making it a significant event for the city. The summit commenced on Wednesday with an impressive lineup of speakers representing diverse backgrounds.
Notable individuals who addressed the attendees included Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, Michael Oher, the former NFL football player renowned for the film adaptation of his life story titled “The Blind Side,” and Dave Ramsey, an American financial planner. Additionally, Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff, and respected pastors like Rob McCoy, Russell Johnson, and Jentezen Franklin also shared their insights and perspectives.

The gathering provided an opportunity for these faith leaders to connect, exchange ideas, and discuss crucial matters within Christianity. With a diverse range of speakers, the summit aimed to offer valuable insights and inspiration to the attending pastors and ministry leaders.
As Nashville welcomed this impressive assembly, the Pastors’ Summit created an environment for meaningful discussions and the sharing of experiences, contributing to the spiritual growth and development of the participants.
“TPUSA Faith believes that if believers don’t speak into the most difficult cultural, moral, and spiritual debates of our time, then those who don’t agree with us, or worse, those who want our destruction and to harm the Christian church, of all faith traditions from Catholic to Evangelical to mainline, those are the voices that will fill the vacuum,” Charlie Kirk said to The Post Millennial.
“We believe the vast majority of our Founders were devout Christians, we believe that our laws, values, and the traditions of our nation are rooted in Christian thinking and philosophy, and it’s paramount that the Church, and its leaders, continue to take an active posture in the direction of our nation,” Kirk said. “We also believe that most churches are failing in this regard.”
“The public sphere has been left vacant by a church that became convinced that its sole job is to address the needs, wants and concerns of the flock AFTER death,” Kirk continued. “We believe that the faithful are called to be active and engaged in the public sphere, in the local community, and in the civic process in the here and now.”
TPUSA Faith “is dedicated to empowering Christians to put their faith into action. We engage, equip, and empower millions of grateful Americans who are prepared to defend our God-given rights, by giving them the tools to expose lies and articulate the connection between Faith and Freedom.”
