Are You Afraid? Now Is the Perfect Time to Trust God.

Glenna Marshall: “Whatever the trigger, fear slides into your thoughts as you try to sleep, reminding you of the things you promised yourself you’d deal with in the morning.

What Is the ‘Quiet Revival’?

Speaking of the “Quiet Revival,” T. M. Suffield considers where its origins may lie. “The ‘quiet revival’ isn’t quiet, it must be the most talked about thing in Christian circles since that report was published, and the trend was noticeable before it was named. Neither is it a revival. People define that term differently, but I can’t think of a meaningful definition that this vibe shift fits.”
