Greetings! I’m Ralf, Frank’s assistant. You were directed to this page because you asked about the project Frank is currently working on.
First, some quick background.
This isn’t the new project, but each year, Frank hosts a premium mastermind for young pastors and teachers. You can learn more about it here: theinsurgence.org/ixp. You may recognize some of the leaders in the photos. Frank will hold another mastermind in 2027. If it resonates with you, you can apply. The process only takes a few minutes.
However, that’s not the new project he currently has in mind. The new project is separate from the annual mastermind, and unlike that event, the new project is virtually free.
Because Frank’s more than 20 books, articles, and podcasts (Christ Is All and The Insurgence Podcast) have deeply connected with countless pastors and teachers in their 30s, he’s considering hosting a small Conversational Symposium in Orlando, Florida in 2027.
The Symposium will be based on his new landmark book, The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded (2025), which pastors across the country are using. The book has been endorsed by leading scholars, including Dr. Craig Keener, who wrote the Foreword. (Keener is widely regarded as the foremost New Testament scholar in the world.) The book uniquely unlocks all of the New Testament epistles.
What follows are the details of the Symposium.
Symposium Details (Orlando, 2027):
- All meals will be covered by Frank.
- The gathering will focus heavily on learning what Frank calls “The Story,” with rich conversation and fellowship.
- A small fee of only $47 will help cover necessary expenses.
- Attendees are responsible for their hotel room and travel expenses (flight or car).
- Each leader will receive a free signed copy of Frank’s book (The Untold Story).
- Leaders will connect with one another and have direct access to Frank.
- The Symposium will be brief — two or three days.
- Dates will be selected by Frank and the leaders who express interest.
We’re currently gauging interest. Once Frank decides to move forward, we’ll notify those who expressed interest about potential dates.
If you’re not familiar with his new book The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded, visit frankviola.org/uts to read the endorsements, download a free “test-drive” sample, and listen to podcast interviews where Frank discusses the book.
Also, check out Shane Wood’s recent interview with Frank: “What If We’ve Been Reading the Bible Wrong All Along?”
After reviewing these materials, if you’re interested in attending the Symposium should Frank decide to hold it, send an email to TheDeeperJourney@gmail.com and give us the following 4 items:
Your full name
Your age
Your Position (lead pastor, youth pastor, traveling teacher, etc.)
The State in which your church is located (Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc).
You will be notified about the details.
Thanks so much!
Ralf
