Summary
In this episode, Jennie sits down with Jonathan Rivera to talk about what happened at SEU during the 10-day outpouring that changed everything.
Together, they relive the moment the room shifted, the confession that broke everything open, and what it was like to watch students stay, worship, repent, pray, and respond to the presence of God in a way neither of them had experienced before. They also talk about the cost of stewarding a move of God, the practical leadership it required, and why they believe this was never just about one room - it was about sending people out to the ends of the earth.

| 0:00.0 | guys you're about to meet my friend jonathan river and hear the story of s e u what went down for us |
| 0:13.2 | in those well i was only there for a day what went down for my friend for 10 so jonathan welcome i'm |
| 0:20.0 | so glad oh so happy to be here. So good to see you. |
| 0:24.2 | I mean, we had some fun together. So for anyone that doesn't know, why don't you just big picture, |
| 0:29.3 | tell everybody what happened, not the details of the day. We'll get into that, but just 10 days. |
| 0:35.2 | Tell everybody what even we're talking about. Man, I'm still trying |
| 0:38.9 | to figure out exactly what happened, Jenny, and to give language to it. I think the easiest |
| 0:45.1 | kind of comparison that can make to it is most people are familiar with what happened at Asbury |
| 0:49.7 | University three years ago. They've been familiar with kind of stuff that's happened in London over the |
| 0:55.4 | past couple of years, kind of these all-night prayer meetings and these powerful moves of God. |
| 0:58.9 | And we experienced something similar where we were at a conference. And it was the last day of |
| 1:03.3 | the conference. I was ready to go home and go on vacation. I was not ready to hang out for 10 days. |
| 1:09.0 | But something super natural happened where it felt like we just needed to stay. |
| 1:15.4 | And there was something happening in the room where it was undeniably God and we just kept creating space for it. |
| 1:21.9 | And so for 10 days, there was nonstop prayer, worship, repentance, confession, healing, and so many incredible |
| 1:31.0 | other things that we could sit here for days talking about. The one thing that I know is I will |
| 1:35.1 | never be the same again. My mind has completely changed. And what I hope has happened is that |
| 1:41.4 | people have seen or heard about the story of what happened at SEU, |
| 1:44.4 | and they've been convinced of the fact that God is not limited to a location. |
| 1:48.3 | It's not just Asbury. |
| 1:49.4 | It's not even just in the SU. |
| 1:51.2 | God can move and speak and work anywhere and with anyone. |
