If you listen to Breakpoint, I trust it's because it provides you with clarity about what's going on in culture today.

That's the goal. To help Christians view our ever-changing culture through the lens of unchanging truth,

so they can live like Christians today. It takes ongoing work for the Breakpoint team to make this happen day in and day out, and this requires ongoing support.

Our Cornerstone monthly partners offer the most consistent level of support by giving monthly at whatever amount they choose.

Before the end of October, we're asking the Lord to provide 220 more Cornerstone monthly partners to support the ongoing production of Breakpoint. In return,

they receive exclusive benefits from us. To help us continue bringing clarity to Christians everywhere,

become a Cornerstone monthly partner today at colsoncenter.org slash October.

lives to follow Christ, or declaring a long-concealed faith.

Many people have described the memorial and its aftermath as an indication of revival.

That makes sense, given that church attendance is on the rise, especially among younger Americans,

a number that spiked again in recent weeks rising another 15% after Charlie Kirk's memorial. There's also, of course,

the quiet revival of the UK, public baptisms at colleges and universities, some of them most

notably at the Ohio State University, hosted by the football team, the awakening in Asbury

University, the much-discussed vibe shift across various aspects of American culture,

is revival the correct word for what we are witnessing? And if it is, what should we be doing?

How now shall we live? Well, perhaps no figure in history is better suited to advise us on these matters than

Jonathan Edwards, perhaps America's greatest intellect
