Christian Youth: Join the Movement to Change Your World

There have been times in the past when the Spirit stirred men and women to take up a radical obedience to God. Many of the great spiritual movements and awakenings sprang out of this commitment to God's will. In these times—recorded throughout history—youth played a central role in starting and spurring on the movement for God, from the First Great Awakening that began with a young John Wesley in college, to the Second Great Awakening, which found many of its proponents on school campuses.

Author and college professor Alvin L. Reid believes that this generation is ripe for an awakening such as these, and he sat down in July to discuss this with the hosts of The Harvest Show.

Many of history's greatest movements of spiritual renewal have been based in radical Christian obedience. And while generally overlooked, the truth is that many of history's "great awakenings" started with young adults. Written by youth expert Alvin Reid, Join the Movement is an invitation and a challenge to young adults to wholeheartedly commit to seeing God change the world--through them!

@sweetsweatyfeet Very true. Todays youth are waking up from this lie that has been in history for so long.

Not working--we atheists are having a much more profound effect on today's youth. More than ever thinking young minds are embracing reason and skepticism over dogma and bronze age ignorance. It gives me hope for the future.

Don't brainwash children to believe this bullshit. Teach children to fix this world for people, not for something that isn't even there

The youth can be effectively used to bring a harvest of souls, and plant seeds. I pray in Jesus name that it shall happen soon.

I totally agree with what he's saying. Radical obedience is important along with the wisdom, endurance, and perservance of the generations before us. Together, we are one! And that unity of love can make great movement of Christ's love across the world! Man, Im so excited for what God is doing!!! :)

If you want to change the world, give money to charity and be thoughtful to your family and friends - rather than try and make the world believe there are certain things above the clouds.
