Summary

By now, it seems everyone is talking about what is happening at Asbury University. Some are asking, “Is this a real revival or a counterfeit one?” Others are asking, “Is this the Spirit or just emotionalism?” Today’s episode is the audio from a livestream I did on Instagram in which I offer what I think is a better question. I also took some questions live, and interacted with some criticism of my position.

kindness, and truth. And I know what you're thinking. Another midweek episode I know.

0:16.1

I wanted to bring this to you because the conversation on the events at Asbury University

0:22.8

are continuing. And people are continuing to talk about them. And I think this has been something

0:27.7

that's been confusing for a lot of people. And so I did a live stream on Instagram a couple of

0:32.8

days ago with some further commentary, some insights, some thoughts for everyone to consider.

on social media. This has a bit of a similar quality in that I think people are feeling very

1:06.0

I suggest that maybe that's the wrong question. Maybe the wrong question is this real revival.

1:11.6

And maybe we need to be asking a different question. So I'll get to that in a moment. But I imagine that

1:28.8

we should be cautiously optimistic about what God may be doing in the lives of some students at

1:35.6

Asbury. But then on the other side of things, maybe you've had some questions. Maybe you feel guilty

1:41.1

for asking those questions. And I just want to read a scripture passage before I lead you to the

1:46.5

audio of the Instagram post that I did. I want to read from first on for one. It says,

1:53.1
