Faith Leaders Push Back on Asbury Revival Criticism

Over the last week, the Asbury University revival has grown from a small group of students to thousands of visitors traveling to Kentucky to witness the revival for themselves.

For 185 hours (and counting), people have been sharing their personal experiences at the ongoing chapel service. The vast majority has been positive, calling the organic movement of worship, repentance and salvations a truly special spiritual moment. (And one that is already spreading to other campuses.)

But on social media, of course, other Christians have also posted skepticism and downright criticism. Thankfully, faith leaders who have seen the revival first-hand are pushing back on that narrative. Here are a few worth listening to:
