This season on the podcast we have been discussing Missions History. Today we are stepping aside to talk about some of the recent events at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. At the time of this recording, the Hughes Auditorium has been filled now for well over a week with students, faculty, staff, community members, and visitors from all around the United States gathering to worship pray, and seek the Lord. Some have called this a revival, but others are unsure. Our guest today is Dr. Tim Beougher, Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He serves as the Associate Dean of the Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism, and Ministry. and has done significant teaching, writing, and research on revivals and spiritual awakenings.

Questions addressed in this episode:

-What exactly is revival? How do we define it?

-How do revivals generally begin? What are the markers for a true revival?

-How should we be thinking about what is happening at Asbury? Celebration? Skepticism?
