Our Speaker: Dwight Robertson

Since their founding in 1986 as Kingdom Building Ministries, FORGE has always had the same mission: multiplying a movement of MORE KINGDOM LABORERS who live with hearts on fire for Jesus and lives on purpose by advancing God’s Kingdom in every facet and sphere of society worldwide! FORGE engages this mission of Jesus using His methods of: Itinerant Preaching, Practical Equipping, and Kingdom Resources. 35 years ago, Dwight responded to God’s call to travel by faith as an itinerant speaker, produce real-world equipping programs, and provide hands-on spiritual development resources for emerging Kingdom laborers. Today, an expansive team of Itinerant Speakers travel the world igniting hearts on fire and lives on purpose. Dwight has authored a number of books (You are God’s Plan A and There is No Plan B, Forged by Fire, and Is God Waiting for a Date with You?) all aimed at helping Christians discover God’s unique and distinct design for them to daily love God and others in practical and transformational ways. Dwight and his wife, Dawn, live in Denver and have two married children and four grandchildren. You can learn more about the ministry of FORGE here
