The Drift Is Real
The landscape of 2026 feels different. The cultural current is stronger, the questions are harder, and the confusion is louder.
If you feel like you are constantly trying to keep your footing, you are not alone.
We are living in a moment of unprecedented cultural disorientation, and the pressure on the Body of Christ is mounting daily. Students are paralyzed, crushed by the pressure to invent their own identity and meaning in a world without guardrails. Parents are fearful, unsure how to talk to their kids about deconstruction and the new rules of gender and sexuality. Leaders are exhausted, trying to minister to a generation shaped by algorithms, anxiety, and apathy. Educators are walking on eggshells, facing daily pressure to compromise on truth or lose their influence.
The natural tendency in a shifting culture is to drift. To slowly move away from the truth just to keep the peace.
But we were not made to drift. We were made to stand.
One Day to Realign
On September 10, 2026, Impact 360 Institute invites you to SouthCrest Church in Newnan, Georgia, for Impact 360 REALIGN: Clarity for a Confused Culture.
This is not just another conference. It is a one-day equipping ground for pastors, parents, educators, and leaders who want to disciple Gen Z and Gen Alpha with clarity, courage, and compassion. While the landscape is shifting faster than ever, we believe that Jesus still changes everything.
REALIGN is designed to help you recalibrate your heart, your mind, your home, and your ministry with the unshakeable truth of Jesus.
We are not just talking about cultural trends. We are providing a compass.
Four Trusted Voices to Help the Church Stop the Drift
We have assembled four leading voices, each bringing a distinct and urgent message for this cultural moment.
Rosaria Butterfield: Realigning the Home
Dr. Rosaria Butterfield is an author, speaker, pastor’s wife, homeschool mom, and former professor of English and women’s studies at Syracuse University. She is the author of several books, including The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, Openness Unhindered, The Gospel Comes with a House Key, and Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age. Rosaria challenges us to use our homes as a counter-culture, showing how radically ordinary hospitality is the most powerful apologetic in a lonely age.
Alisa Childers: Realigning the Faith
Alisa Childers is the bestselling author of Another Gospel? and a leading voice educating the church on the topics of deconstruction and progressive Christianity. She will equip us to spot the cultural distortions of Christianity, navigate the modern wave of deconstruction, and anchor the next generation in the historic Gospel. If we want the next generation to stand firm, we have to help them do more than just feel. We have to help them think like Jesus.
Jonathan Morrow: Realigning the Mind
Dr. Jonathan Morrow is a leading voice on next-generation discipleship and the author of Welcome to College and Questioning the Bible. Jonathan helped lead three national studies on Gen Z with Barna and Impact 360 and provides the worldview framework young people need to build a confident, resilient, and thoughtful Christian faith in a rapidly changing culture. He brings clarity to the key questions Gen Z and Gen Alpha must be able to answer and offers a practical roadmap for forming lifelong disciples of Jesus.
Jeff Morgan: Realigning the Heart
Jeff Morgan is a speaker, storyteller, and founder of Highway 53 Ministries, known for his raw and hope-filled testimony of how Jesus rescued him out of brokenness and called him into a life of purpose. Jeff connects deeply with Gen Z and Gen Alpha through his authenticity, humor, and honesty about the struggles young people face today. Before we change the culture, Jesus must change us. Jeff equips leaders and parents to move past the “what-ifs” and start having conversations that actually matter, pointing students to the transforming power of Jesus.
