What does it take to build a conference that calls a generation to stand firm in truth?

In this episode, Abigail DeJarnatt and Counteract USA COO Allie Paris pull back the curtain on the 2025 Resolve to Stand National Conference—from the heart behind the theme “Running to a Culture Ready for Truth” (Acts 8:26-38) to the prayerful process of choosing speakers like Tony Perkins, Nancy Pearcey, Lucas Miles, Millicent Sedra, Mina Kim, Toni McFadden, and Walt Heyer.

They unpack how this year’s lineup reflects Counteract’s mission: to equip and embolden believers—especially Gen Z—to engage culture with the hope of the gospel. You’ll also hear practical details, fun behind-the-scenes stories, and why the team believes this year’s gathering will be one of the most significant yet.

“And the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over and join this chariot.’ … Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus.” - Acts 8:29, 35 ESV
