Growth and Impact
Before we say good-bye to 2025, we want you to know the incredible impact God has had through your faithful giving to Forge Room Foundation. Strong families, churches, and communities are built and maintained by faithful Christians who think biblically and live boldly – and by God’s grace and your partnership, we’ve seen this truth come alive in powerful ways this year.
Through our initiatives, we’ve forged hearts and minds to glorify Christ in every area of life. As our reach grows and deepens, Christians across our community are learning to think biblically, live boldly, and shape the culture around them.
In 2025, we had 265 new subscribers to our newsletter, 3,500+ podcast downloads, and 3,100 visitors to the Forge Room website among other areas of growth listed below.
Our 2026 budget supports our bold initiatives and growth. We’ll be launching the most innovative and intensive training experience available! This 10 month program will equip believers to be even more effective as force multipliers in our churches and communities.
Our financial need for 2026 is $280K. Review next year’s budget here…
Your partnership, prayers, and gifts have made our work possible.
Thank you for your support!

TCU Christian Academic Series
Lance Cashion and Dr. Tyler Durham led an eight-part series at TCU this fall, discussing critical questions and issues from a theological and worldview perspective.
This series addresses a vital need within higher education. As an elite academic institution that shapes future leaders from around the world, TCU provides the perfect setting for deep theological and philosophical dialogues from a historical biblical worldview perspective.
Our objective is to demonstrate how the Bible and Christian theology intersect with key issues of our cultural moment.
Such theological discourse and practical application of truth are essential in higher education, where Christians must cultivate the life of the mind within our revered institutions.

What our supporters are saying
“My husband and I support the Forge Room Foundation because we believe God is using Lance and Forge Room events to deepen and strengthen Christians understanding of God’s principles for living in His Kingdom (a.k.a. Biblical worldview) and to encourage and help them to be effective in speech and efforts to uphold such principles within the Church and the culture for the good of our city, its people, and ultimately for God’s glory.”
“I am extremely grateful for The Forge Room organization which wholeheartedly pursues the truth revealed in Scripture and boldly endeavors to train up the Body of Christ to be the church in practice. In a dark time where sin is often lauded and godliness is denigrated, we need to be reminded that we are not here by accident. God has placed us all in this time and place to further His kingdom causes. I proudly support Lance Cashion who is training up believers so that we can effectively “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints (Jude 1:3).”
“I am pleased to offer my enthusiastic endorsement of the Forge Room Foundation. Our country is becoming increasingly polarized and now more than ever Christians must, not only, develop a robust biblical worldview, but also get out of their comfort zones and into the fight. Through its in-depth worldview classes and forums, as well as its partnerships with countless non-profits in the DFW area, the Forge Room Foundation is uniquely situated to equip the mobilized and mobilize the equipped!”
