“Q conference [is] the signature annual gathering of next-generation Christian leaders...”
“'These action-takers draw their energy and strength not solely from their fair-trade coffee, entrepreneurial wits, and technological savvy,' Lyons says, 'but from the cross — from knowing we are living in the way that Jesus demands.'”
USA Today
“Those who believe in this new Christianity want to make clear that they are not abandoning Christianity's core principals but finding a new way of engaging with the world.”
ABC World News
“Lyons…is not espousing a new Christianity, but actually returning to historic Christianity, a faith that engages and impacts culture for good. He cites statistics diligently researched that a younger generation of believers is leaving the church in droves, most likely because of what Christianity has come to be associated with -- the Gospel of the religious, political right. One known for what it was against, not for what it was for. And unlike most Christian conferences, Q Gathering not only invites the faithful to present topics of discussion; Lyons opens up to hearing from leaders from all channels of culture, no matter what their faith or lifestyle background, and learning from them.”
The Huffington Post
“Gabe Lyons…is emblematic of the transformation among many younger evangelicals...heading a loose “collective” dedicated to teaching evangelicals to shape culture through other means, including media and the arts.”
