Summary

Segment 1:

• Lots of Buzz, But Few Reports: We sent a reporter to investigate what’s happening on college campuses.

• The Unite Us Movement: 7-8K attendees, passionate worship, but how clear was the Gospel?

• Speakers & Worship: Tonya Prewett & Jennie Allen led—was this a revival or just an experience?

Segment 2:

• Jonathan Pokluda Delivered a Solid Gospel Message: But why was he mingling with this particular movement?

• 1,500 People Walked Forward: What does that mean? Were they making decisions for Christ or caught in emotion?

• Baptism Surge: 1,000-1,500 baptisms happened—but was there a clear discipleship plan?

Segment 3:

• 52% of Teenagers Want to Know More About Jesus: But do churches know how to engage them?

• ROAD TRIP TO TRUTH Mention: Gen Z prefers deeper discussions over small group structures.

• Hollywood Mentions Jesus: Kelsey Grammer & Tim Allen bring up faith, but was it the real Gospel?

Segment 4:

• We’re Ready to Bring Truth to College Campuses: But we need solid campus ministries to invite us in.

• AI Dating & The Rise of Romance Fraud: The loneliness crisis is deeper than we realize—how can the Church respond?

• Security Crisis? The government is even recognizing loneliness as a growing national issue.
