Episode Details

In this THINQ talk, A Brief History of Renewal, we step back to see how renewal has surfaced again and again during moments of tension, fatigue, and longing within the church. By tracing patterns from the early church to modern awakenings, the talk reveals that renewal rarely looks the same, but often begins with humility, honesty, and a return to first loves. Rather than chasing the next movement, this conversation invites thoughtful discernment—paying attention to how God is already at work and considering what faithfulness looks like in our time.
