Ignite Live 2024

Experience the melodies with heartfelt spiritual messages from Nashville-based Christian recording artist Riley Clemmons. Her compelling single “Broken Prayers” has generated more than 56 million global streams, and her top performing song to date, “Fighting for Me”, reached 160 million worldwide streams, shining a light on God’s presence even in the toughest times.

Join us at Southern Adventist University on February 3 at 8 p.m. in Iles P.E. Center for a show featuring Riley Clemmons. This event will focus on faith beyond imitation and include interactive games, Riley’s testimony about how music and worship have helped her find her faith, and performances from her most popular and latest album.

IGNITE Live is a community event that takes place each year on a Saturday night at Southern Adventist University. It’s a 90-minute highly entertaining and inspirational live event with games, audience interaction, a live band, and the participation of a special guest. Think “the Christian Jimmy Fallon”. Everything is student-led, student-fundraised, and student-executed!

The show focuses on using a family-friendly late-night format to discuss difficult or taboo topics through the Christian lens. In the past, IGNITE Live has talked about the faith journey, joy despite pain, and dealing with stress and anxiety.

IGNITE Live is a production brought to you by the School of Journalism and Communication, but it is a product of the hard work of students from all around Southern's campus. In past shows, we have hosted Christian film director Alex Kendrick, Harlem Globetrotter Melvin Adams, and Christian Singer/Songwriter Cory Asbury. You can learn more about our past guests below.

About IGNITE

Amplifying Student Voices

IGNITE is a student-led production that exists to IGNITE conversations campus/community-wide. Over the course of the last few years, the idea to start a show that tackled difficult conversations has blossomed into a weekly talk show, a Spanish talk show, and a yearly live show. We strive for each production to be entertaining, impactful, informative, and Christ-centered.
