What happens when a Bible study in a teenager’s playroom turns into a movement of a thousand students?
In this episode of The Travis Hearn Podcast, Pastor Travis sits down with Graham Furtick — 18-year-old son of Pastor Steven and Holly Furtick, lead pastors of Elevation Church — for a conversation about how a single retreat moment in eighth grade planted a call to ministry he couldn’t shake, how a four-person Bible study in his parents’ playroom grew into “The Living Room” — a student-led worship movement that packed a thousand students into a single night by the end of the school year — and what he’s learned about carrying the pressure of being a pastor’s kid without losing his own faith in the process. Topics covered:
- Getting “wrecked by the Holy Spirit” at a school retreat
- Starting a Bible study with four friends in his parents’ playroom
- How “The Living Room” grew from 4 friends to 1,000 students
- Carrying the pressure of being a pastor’s kid
- Learning to worship without caring who’s watching
- Taking “The Living Room” on the road to other cities and camps
