Are we seeing true revival—or just hype? In this episode, Dr. William C. Roach (co-author of Defending Inerrancy) takes you inside Jonathan Edwards’ timeless wisdom on how to discern between true and false revival. Drawing from The Great Awakening, The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, and Religious Affections, we explore the five “sure marks” of a genuine move of God.
Using vivid historical examples from Edwards’ own day—including the controversies, excesses, and fruit of the 1730s–40s revivals—we then apply his framework to today’s claims of revival, including the large-scale Charlie Kirk event. What does authentic revival look like? How can we test the spirits without quenching them?
If you’ve ever wondered whether modern mass events really constitute a work of God, this video will give you the biblical and historical tools to discern with clarity, humility, and hope.
