Bobby Bosler and Dr. Jim Van Gelderen report from the lobby of Falls Baptist Church after the 2026 Thee Generation Youth Summit. Bob Holmes, Austin Brownlee, and Ed Loney share observations from the conference, and college student Jose tells how he led his mother to Christ. The conversation returns to the theme of rising above through surrender and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

• The atmosphere, team competitions, and preaching at TGYS 2026.
• Bob Holmes’s messages on temptation, restoration, and Christ’s sacrifice.
• Austin Brownlee’s breakout session on apathy and the call to own the Great Commission.
• Ed Loney’s observations about spiritual maturity and supporting the work of God.
• Victory over sin through the law of the Spirit of life in Christ.
• Jose’s testimony of obeying the Lord and sharing the gospel with his mother.
• Listening to the conference messages when they become available.

• Surrender and dependence on God’s power apply beyond the conference itself.
• Biblical instructions point us toward obedience, but victory depends on the Holy Spirit’s power rather than willpower.
• Young people can take personal responsibility for the Great Commission and the work of their local church.
• An opportunity to share the gospel may call for obedience even when you do not feel like doing it.
• Those who could not attend can still respond to the truths shared through the conference messages.
