FAQs

  • Hosted by THINQ Media, The Nxt Gen Summit is designed specifically for the next generation. It is a gathering of young leaders from around the world who are seeking to understand and faithfully engage the culture.

  • The Nxt Gen Summit is for young leaders (Gen Z & Millennials) from any area of culture: church, business, education, nonprofit, government, art, etc. We believe young christian leaders need to be informed about what is happening in the culture right now and must be equipped to meet the cultural moment with love, empathy, honesty, humility, and boldness. The Nxt Gen Summit will help young leaders reach and engage the people around them with the truth and hope they’ve built their lives on.

  • The Nxt Gen Summit is hosted by THINQ Media (formerly Q Ideas), an organization founded by Gabe & Rebekah Lyons in 2007 as a platform to help leaders and influencers engage culture from a biblical worldview. Today, THINQ continues this mission through media and live events designed to educate and equip Christians in every area of culture.
