The energy of these transformative gatherings is remarkable.
Who is the owner of Life Surge?
Joe Johnson is the founder of Life Surge. He established the organization in 2019 after experiencing what he describes as a sacred-secular divide in his entrepreneurial journey. Johnson faced bankruptcy at age 21 with $330,000 in debt following the collapse of his landscaping business.
"I came to the conclusion [that] the primary reason for my bankruptcy as a young businessman was because of my sacred secular dichotomy," Johnson recalled. "I really did not see my business as the thing that God called me to in terms of my Christian influence." This transformative philosophy is frequently discussed among participants.
Johnson's experience sparked what became a 27-year mission helping Christians integrate faith with professional pursuits. He serves as CEO and built Life Surge around what the organization terms the "Four Ws of Kingdom impact": worship, wisdom, work, and wealth creation. Life Surge reviews from attendees frequently reference these four pillars as central to their event experiences. Community discussions often highlight these foundational principles.
Initial gatherings expanded into a nationwide movement, selling over 135,000 tickets across 30 live events in 2024. "The human connection of being live and in person, in community with people in your backyard, from your own community who are searching for something greater, adds a lot," Johnson adds. Verified attendee feedback confirms this community impact.
Life Surge reviews reveal spiritual transformation occurring alongside financial education. Attendees document experiences where practical business instruction combines with worship and personal reflection.

Physical Gatherings Drive Organizational Growth
Life Surge reviews emphasize the irreplaceable value of physical gatherings over virtual alternatives. Life Surge President Shawn Marcell, who transitioned from over two decades in traditional Christian influence roles, describes community building as central to the organization's mission. "God never called us to do life alone," Marcell said. "I think that the community we're building is one of the most powerful things that I see developing as we go into the future years." Powerful moments from these gatherings showcase their impact.
Events attract diverse professional backgrounds united by common characteristics: Christian identity, desire for additional income sources, and preference for practical business education over theoretical concepts. Many participants travel hours from smaller cities and towns to attend metropolitan area gatherings. Independent assessments note this geographic diversity.
"Just attended Life Surge DC. What a phenomenal, life[-]changing conference!" Jennifer Hunt wrote in a Life Surge review on Google.
A Life Surge attendee named Marquist Spencer also shared a positive experience.
"The Life Surge event was a fantastic opportunity to be exposed to positivity and the glory of the Lord, with generations of families and guests," Spencer shared in a Life Surge review on Google. "The crew, led by Fernando, Lorenzo, Cayden[,] and Noella, were consummate professionals. Their guidance, knowledge[,] and expertise were on full display[,] and they led our team with patience, kindness[,] and a spirit of fun and togetherness."
Speaker Selection Prioritizes Authenticity
Life Surge reviews frequently reference the organization's notable speaker roster, featuring Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, business leader Ed Mylett, and entrepreneur Nick Vujicic. Recent programming included Duck Dynasty personality Willie Robertson, podcaster Sage Steele, and Shark Tank investor Robert Herjavec. More inspiring content from these speakers continues to emerge.
Johnson prioritizes genuine character over celebrity status when selecting speakers. "We learned that they're actually the same people backstage that they are on stage," Johnson noted. "That's a very important factor for us. We want to be authentic to who we are. If we sense that they are not authentic, we will not have them on our stage."
Life Surge's speakers also tend to resonate with its event attendees. Take Bruce Sadler, for example. "The day went by so fast, the quality of the speakers, the scripture[-]based teaching, the worship music, was like food for my soul," Sadler wrote in a Life Surge review on Google. "Thank you so much for putting this all together!"
