The New Revival Spreading Across America- Part 2

In February of 2023, what began as a student-led chapel grew into a present-day revival. First, on the campus of Asbury College in Kentucky, and then spread like a wildfire to numerous universities and colleges and high school campuses across the country. The outdoor meetings of open air preaching, decisions for Christ, and baptism all but ended with the public assassination of Charlie Kirk, an outspoken Christian conservative. The question was: Was that the end of the movement? Suspicion, conspiracy, and fear filled the atmosphere among the college student crowd. Then, something happened. The movement hadn't ended; it moved indoors to churches across America. Congregations began seeing surges of young people under the age of forty fill the pews on Sunday morning. Now, the open-air meetings have continued. Here to discuss what he is witnessing in churches across America is our good friend Tim Throckmorton, National Director of Church Engagement for The Family Research Council. Tim has witnessed young people in significant numbers filling the churches that he visits and speaks at. In his own denomination, the National Conference Meetings reported that salvations and baptisms were up and that many churches were seeing an increase in youth attendance.
