Wayfinding with Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Our Final Wayfinding Thoughts E7

Wayfinding through Revivalism - E3

This season of Wayfinding is hosted by historians Mark Draper and Joe Thomas. Jesus Christ called his first disciples to follow him and leave behind the religiosity of their day. Since then, revival and reform have been a hallmark of Christianity. Every generation of Christians needs their hearts revitalized. Likewise, the church is always in need of reform. InWayfinding through Revivalism, Mark and Joe explore the surprising ways in which God moves among his people. Whether it is the itinerant preacher St. Francis of Assisi, the desert monk St. Anthony, the abbess Hildegard of Bingen, or the Czech reformer Jan Hus, God decides who he will use to arouse his people. Revivals, no matter what period, reveal a need for repentance, release an energy of wide popularity, display a need for personal transformation and devotion, call the church back to its original mission and purity, and hearken the saints to preach the Good News of Jesus Christ.  Wayfinding is excited to work with the Christian History Institute on this three-part history of revivalism.
