Dr. Chase Spears sits down with Adam Josefczyk, president of Forge Leadership Network, to explore how they're identifying, training, and launching hundreds of young Christian conservatives into public service.From summer intensives in state capitals to year-long academies with national mentors, Adam shares the vision behind Forge's decade-long mission: building a talent pipeline for principled leaders in politics, policy, and culture. They discuss why Gen Z is bolder than ever, the power of mentorship, and how to prepare the next generation to lead with conviction in a challenging landscape.
