Can biblical Protestantism overcome and conquer the anti-Christian forces of this trans-humanistic, AI, and pagan world in which we live? If you look at the 1800s, you'll see that believers faced similar enemies as we do today, and yet this century could arguably be called the "golden age" of Protestant Christianity, with the 2nd Great Awakening and the resulting benefits of that outpouring of God's Spirit.

As we come to yet another anniversary of Martin Luther's publication of the 95 Theses, Chris takes you through another detailed survey of the entire 19th century, showing how the core tenets of the Protestant Reformation were used by the Lord to bring about great revival and reformation both in His body, and in western and eastern societies in general. Throughout, he notes the enemies that believers faced, and fell prey to, as they sought to preach, live, and defend the gospel. Beginning with the deceived and compromised condition of much of Protestantism in the late 1700s, to the awakening that rolled through from then until the mid-1800s, and then concluding with the downgrade, backsliding, and apostasy of many of the denominations in the turn of the 20th century, he highlights both the successes and failures of the Protestant faith in the U.S., Great Britain, central Europe, and the lands that were assaulted by gospel missionaries in this time. From this study, we can see that the Lord blessed the preaching and application of the pillars of the Reformation, but that we need to learn from the failures of Protestants to take the biblical principles of that great turning point to their fullest applications, in order to semper reformanda, or keep on reforming in alignment with the apostles' teachings.
