Evangelist Jay Lowder joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to break down the powerful spiritual movement unfolding on college campuses across America. He shares what happened at a recent event where more than 500 students made decisions for Christ – and why he says the hunger among Gen Z is unlike anything he’s seen in 20-plus years of ministry. Lowder also explains the difference between a revival and a true spiritual awakening, and why that distinction matters right now. Plus, he opens up about his own journey from a suicide attempt to a life devoted to helping others find hope in Christ.
