Sarah Thomas Baldwin – The Asbury Revival

‘On February 8, 2023, the Holy Spirit sparked a flame at the end of an Asbury University Chapel Service.  Over the next 16 days, what began as a local experience within the confines of Asbury’s campus soon flared into the blaze of a global movement that captivated millions through the viral power of social media’.

Brent talks with Dr. Sarah Thomas Baldwin about her new book from Invite Press called ‘Generation Awakened: An Eyewitness Account of the Powerful Outpouring of God at Asbury’.

Sarah is Vice President of Student Life at Asbury University in central Kentucky.  Sarah has served in Christian higher education for almost 30 years as a student affairs, professional, university pastor and vice president.  Sarah serves as co-pastor of a ‘small church’ in Wilmore, Kentucky.  She’s a frequent speaker, preacher and retreat leader.
