Jan. 1, 2026 — Arlington, Texas Passion Conference 2026 commenced at Globe Life Field, gathering thousands of 18- to 25-year-olds united for worship, spiritual renewal, and discipleship training centered on the name and renown of Jesus.
The annual event, organized by Passion Conferences, ran from January 1 to 3, attracting young adults from across the United States and beyond. Organizers described it as “the gathering of a generation, united by one desire: the name and renown of Jesus.”
Passion 2026 is more than an event and it’s more than a conference. It’s about gathering a generation united for the name and renown of Jesus.

Speakers and Sessions
Sessions featured speakers including Pastor Earl McClellan, who opened the first night by urging attendees to place their expectations not in the conference itself but in Jesus, according to a Christian Post report. Other talks included “Embrace The Process” by Sadie Robertson Huff, Ben Stuart, and Jonathan Pokluda, available for rewatching on the Passion Conferences site.
The conference app provided schedules, venue maps, and resources, enhancing the experience for participants, as noted on the official app page.
