Jay Lowder on Campus Revival and 500 Salvations at Stephen F. Austin University

from Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews · host Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews

Jay Lowder, evangelist and founder of Jay Lowder Harvest Ministries, has spent over 20 years doing one thing — full time evangelism. Recently he headlined a campus wide event at Stephen F. Austin University in Texas where more than 500 students made public decisions for Christ, so many that those not responding to the invitation were quietly asked to leave because there was not enough room to walk everyone through the follow up process. It was only the second time in two decades of ministry that has ever happened. College campuses, a generation hungry for something real, and a move of God that is unlike anything seen in a generation: Jay breaks down the difference between revival and awakening, why he believes what is happening right now on college campuses across America is unprecedented, and what it felt like to sense the presence of God so strongly in that room at SFA before a single student stood up. He also opens up about his own suicide attempt at 21, the evangelistic event that changed everything, and why the moment he saw students come to Christ he turned to his roommate and said that is what I will do with the rest of my life. Highlights Over 500 students made public decisions for Christ at Stephen F. Austin University The key difference between revival among believers and a true awakening among the lost Why college students are the most hungry demographic Jay has encountered in over two decades of evangelism How the pandemic, social media, and cultural emptiness are driving students toward Jesus What Jay was preaching from Matthew 7 and why Jesus saying "I never knew you" set the tone for the entire event His personal story, a suicide attempt at 21 and the night an evangelist's message about Jesus changed everything Why he believes God is strategically pouring out His Spirit on young people at this moment in history Resources / Links / CTA 🌐 Jay Lowder website: https://www.jaylowder.com 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jay_lowder 🌐 Follow, share, and explore more of Crosswalk Talk 👉 Follow, share, and subscribe for more faith-driven conversations on Lifeaudio Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
