The Asbury Revival: A Student Shares Her Unique Experience (2023)

I recently flew down to Asbury University to interview Lena Marlowe, a senior student at Asbury. Her story is unique--she was on the Gospel Choir when the outpouring began.
Btw, we were filming in Dr. Craig Keener's office at Asbury. His interview will be available soon as well!

I'm not gonna lie, its pretty crazy to have been watching you get that B-role and then see what you turned it into. I was never someone who knew anything about cameras, but I always thought that it would be more difficult to capture such cool footage but you made it look so easy when you were capturing it haha. You're like a wizard with the camera. Excuse me, I should have said you're like a Magi with the camera.

Praise God, she can sing. Her piece one day with 1 other was moving, I think it was Saturday the 11th, not sure. And she sung so beautifully, Holy Spirit led and heart felt. Come rest on us. God bless her; Hope she sees this compliment.

[@TestifyApologetics]

Thanks for covering this in a positive light. I've seen so much from the online apologetics community be negative towards what's happening at Asbury or just ignore it. I attended the Brownsville Revival back in 2000 and was positively impacted by it and haven't seen anything quite like it until now. I hope it continues and spreads.

[@mbb--]

I agree. It's been downright disturbing seeing some of the negative reactions and unjustified assumptions from many content creators I follow--some of whom I will no longer be following.

Thanks so much! This is one of the only complete discussions I've seen with an Asbury student regarding the "encounter" at the University. I appreciate how significant it is. I am also concerned about the ongoing emotional support and needs the students may have to be addressed by Asbury. I sincerely hope this (as well as the safety and security of the campus) is a priority in the coming months.

[@iggle6448]

I'm from the UK. I don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps you could explain, step by step, what's going on here?

[@findingshalom]

Thank you for this beautiful positive interview!

[@Kevigen]

Sorry, this woman isn't a credible source. She said she was born in 2001 AND she said that she's a senior in college. People born in the 2000s are still like 5. This is the hill that I will die on. So, your guest is not credible. Sorry but I don't make the rules.

[@SyntheToonz]

My kid was born in 2004 and is a freshman in college. So... the math between 2001 and a senior in 2023 is correct.

[@Kevigen]

@@SyntheToonz No, sorry, that doesn't make any sense. 2023 minus 2001 is 5. I will die on this hill.

[@Khorvalar]

@@Kevigen Well, I guess you died lol

@@Kevigen I suppose if you were talking about Feb 29th you could make that work in today's public schools. I did not hear her say she was born on leap day.

[@wordonwatches]

Not sure what I make of these ‘revivals’. We live in such a messed up world so why no ‘revival’ or miracles in Ukraine? Let’s put all that aside. Maybe it’s best to see what the fruits of this will be? I suspect genuine revivals aren’t really for the benefit of the attendees, rather the world around it? In any case, I wish everyone well and will be the first to admit my opinions and suspicions count for very little.

[@honeydew4576]

The 1970 Asbury Revival began on February 3. The 2023 one began on February 8, so pretty close.

[@Virginonoblivion]

Great interview. Loved hearing Lena's experience and that she has said an encounter with God. We were so blessed to have a member of our church from UK be on an American road trip while Asbury was happening and actually popped by. Blessings. ❤️🌹🙏

[@CNormanHocker]

"Experiencing God in a new way." God doesn't change, we do. If you want to see God, read your Scripture and study it.

[@torspedia]

I haven't heard much of the revival since it happened. Do you happen to know what's happened since?

[@bevlp561]

Thank you for this interview. Can you cover other interviews of students who were there when the revival broke out..

[@cuthip]

Oh man, so much high-context language: “praying for God to break our hearts”, “God showing up in a new way”, “has to do with heart posture”.

[@cuthip]

@Busy Bee Farms I didn't say there's anything wrong with that. I'm just trending that it's a bit jarring for people outside of that context to have to parse the unique jargon/inside language. E.g., the term "heart posture" means nothing to the vast majority of people but is immediately understood by people who share that particular cultural context. I was just remarking on how often I felt I had to use context clues to infer the meaning of what she was saying.

[@Alexander-fr1kk]

Nice interview sir.

[@CapturingChristianity]

We talk about it in the next interview!

[@Canaveral_Videos]

“Behold, the sower went out to sow; & as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, & the birds came & ate them up. Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; & they sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of soil. But after the sun rose, they were scorched; & because they had no root, they withered away. Others fell among the thorns, & the thorns came up & choked them out. But others fell on the good soil & yielded a crop, some a hundred, some sixty, & some thirty times as much. The one who has ears, let him hear.” Summary & Conclusion: Coming out of 'conversion experiences" some will become pastors, some will become teachers, some will reach 30, 60, to 100 people in their lives transfomred into real life conversions. That is real multiplication that Jesus desires from the parables he tells. Once the Lord sees that true sowing has ceased in America, judgment will begin in America . . . Let's hope these 'conversions" make for true and fruitful converts . . .

[@gretasmith7008]

It has been very disappointing at some of the negative comments. I am absolutely thrilled that God loves this generation and is touching them in this special way. I am praying that it will also touch that same generation here in Australia. It doesn't matter what it is called. Doesn't have to meet our criteria or agenda.

[@scotishcovenanters]

There was no choir that day. This is weird.

[@Adaughtersheart-Isa53]

I watched an interview by an administrator of the school who described it the same way as she did. They had gospel choirs for the month of February, she explained. If i can find it, I will post it here.

[@carlafoss9248]

Great interview! I appreciate the insight

[@danielvecchio9942]

Very cool interview!

[@malirk]

I appreciate her story and being so open at sharing. I do wonder though: *How did God show up in a new way?* I would like to know the specifics and what convinces them it's their God.

[@aldodanieljimenezcardona1252]

Don’t get caught up in the language, it’s just the way young people speak. She is not speaking in a philosophical, debate, or apologetics context. It’s a testimony. What she basically means is that they didn’t want it to be just another chapel service for the sake of protocol or routine.

[@jesusloveyou3976]

How can I know Jesus is God? What distinguishes God from man? And how can I know a random man claiming to be God isn’t God and doesnt have a human and divine nature like we say Jesus does? Is every man potentially God? These are questions I was asked recently and I would like input please

[@silver292]

Great question! If Jesus was God then he died and rose back to life, therefore proving what he said about himself. However, if he WASN'T God then he didn't die and rise back to life. So look into the evidence for Christ's resurrection. The other thing to be aware of is Jesus can NEVER be JUST a good moral teacher. A lot of people say he wasn't God but was a good moral teacher who was killed. But he can't have said the things he said (I am God) and convince other people he was God and be just a good moral teacher. He was either crazy. Or a liar. Or he was telling the truth and actually WAS the son of God. Really important to remember that. A lot of people say he can just be a good moral teacher but that's just not the case.

[@jefcaine]

Did Cam bring his own bookshelf lights for this interview?

[@CapturingChristianity]

I did!

[@Joliebebe2001]

This young woman is such a blessing to listen to! 🥰 She brings back confidence that all is not lost in their generation. It s such a pleasure to hear her faith and love for Christ! OMG, the few lost kids are so wild and confused and loud that we don t see these beautiful wise and based kids. God bless our young generations and lead them not into temptation but deliver them from evil. Amen 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Why do people insist on saying aksing instead of asking? They are so false and they are perfectly capable of speaking correctly but they obviously feel that they are being cool or street and ghetto but they just sound silly
