Ignite Live 2026

Experience the soulful sound of Memphis-born Christian artist Terrian, whose music blends faith, authenticity, and empowerment. A member of TobyMac’s Diverse City band since 2017, Terrian began her journey with AngelStreet Memphis, mentoring young girls through music. Now signed to Gotee Records, she’s known for hits like “Let Love Lead,”“Stayed On Him,” and “Big God.” Her debut album, Give It Time, has earned national attention, including a Fox & Friends performance, K-LOVE Fan Award nominations, and her Grand Ole Opry debut. With her bold voice and heartfelt lyrics, Terrian continues to inspire listeners to trust God and embrace their purpose.

Join us on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 8 p.m. in the Iles P.E. Center at Southern Adventist University for a memorable night featuring Terrian. The evening will include interactive games, an exclusive interview with Terrian, and a live performance showcasing her viral hits. Terrian will also share her personal testimony about the transformative power of faith and music in her life, from her youth till now. Don’t miss this opportunity to be encouraged and uplifted!

Special ticket rates are available for Families and Southern Adventist attendees.

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.

If you’d like to explore our weekly show, watch it on YouTube or listen on Spotify.
