MOTION is more than a conference. It’s more than bands and speakers. MOTION is about a generation of young people empowered by Jesus, equipped to make a difference, and living out their faith every day! It is placed strategically at the end of summer to launch students into the school year ready to live their lives in MOTION at home, in the local church, in their cities, and around the world.

Passion
A movement founded by Louie and Shelley Giglio in 1995, Passion has been rooted in the truth of Isaiah 26:8 –“Yes Lord, walking in the way of Your truth we wait eagerly for You, for Your name and Your renown are the desire of our hearts”– existing to glorify God by uniting students in worship, prayer, and justice for spiritual awakening in this generation. Passion has ushered in the writing, recording, and leading of some of the most recognizable and unforgettable worship anthems of this generation and is led by Kristian Stanfill, Brett Younker, Melodie Malone, and a new wave of voices including Chidima, Landon Wolfe, and Rachel Halbach. Crowder, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels, and more have also lent their voices alongside Passion throughout the years.
Passion’s latest release, “Call on Heaven (Come, Lord Jesus) - Live,” features five brand-new songs alongside fresh versions of standout anthems from last year’s event, including “The Lord Will Provide” (featuring Anna Golden) and “He Who Is to Come” (featuring Brooke Ligertwood). Recorded live at Passion 2025 in State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA, these songs capture the sound of worship of 35,000 18–25 year olds lifting up the name of Jesus. This release continues the journey from Passion’s recent full-length album, “Call on Heaven (Live),” recorded at Passion 2024 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Together, these recordings reflect the heartbeat of a generation longing to see Heaven’s ceaseless praise become a reality on earth.
With more than 3 Billion global streams, 3 RIAA Certified Gold Singles including “Glorious Day,” “Even So Come,” and “One Thing Remains” and a multitude of chart-topping singles such as “Build My Life,” “God, You’re So Good,” “How Great Is Our God,” “God Of This City,” and “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord),” listeners across the world continue to be impacted by the music of Passion.
