First Love

CONFERENCE

GET TICKETS

MAY 15 & 16, 2026
FRANKLIN, TN

“But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”

We’ve been sensing a deep invitation from the Lord — to gather, to worship, and to return to our first love.

This isn’t just another conference.
This is a call to consecration.

A call to steward our hearts before Him.
A call to be set apart.
A call to be ruined for anything less than Jesus in all His glory — dwelling among His people and inhabiting their praise.

We believe something is happening right now — in the world and in the Body of Christ. Jesus is drawing hearts back to Himself.

As worshipers, we’re not coming to build platforms or find significance.
We’re coming to lay our lives on the altar.

To surrender.
To die to lesser things.
To walk in purity.
To leave compromise behind.

Because we’ve seen Him—and we want Him alone.
He is the reward.

Join us for a weekend of returning to our First Love.

REVELATION 2:4

Speakers

  • Steffany’s heart is to minister to the Lord first, giving Him joy and adoration. The priestly anointing on her life has called her to raise up a generation of relentless, unrestrained Levites who burn with holiness and purity for Jesus. 

  • Ryan and his wife, Karen, have been part of the prayer movement for nearly 15 years—drawn to the idea of creating spacing for daily intimacy with Jesus through rhythms of prayer and worship. They moved from California to Tennessee 9 years ago to help build one of these places in downtown Franklin. The Franklin Prayer House is a diverse community of worshippers from different church backgrounds, blending contemporary, Spirit-led worship with ancient contemplative rhythms.

  • Jeremy Riddle is a worship leader and songwriter. He carries a deep passion for God’s presence, and his worship leading stirs hunger, freedom, and adoration towards the Lord. Jeremy prioritizes time with his wonderful family. He and his wife, Katie, have five children and recently welcomed their first grandchild. Jeremy finds inspiration through spending time in creation—whether retreating in his own backyard or adventuring to beautiful destinations. He continues to travel ministering regionally and internationally.

  • Josh Parsons is a musician, composer, and pastor who is passionately in love with Jesus and has dedicated his life to worshipping Him and stewarding His presence. Over the past 25+ years, Josh has balanced faithfully serving in the local church with serving as a touring and session guitarist for various artists and worship leaders.

    In 2015, Josh joined the staff of Wellspring Franklin (formerly Grace Center). For several years, he has served as the Worship Director, where he has the honor of stewarding the call on house to be a place where the presence of God can rest.

    He and he and his wife, Sarah, live in Franklin, TN, with their two children, June and Jack.
