<p style="text-align: justify;">Even secular political commentator Tucker Carlson believes&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_lfzS9OH9o/?igsh=NGxqZTcxcnNvY3Jt">we’re seeing revival</a>.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">I asked Dr. Vernon M. Whaley, Associate Provost of the School of Music and Worship Arts at Trevecca Nazarene University, if he believes we’re seeing another Great Awakening. He quoted the secular, liberal, and cultural political writer for the&nbsp;<i>Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times,</i>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<i>Los Angeles Times</i>&nbsp;Lauren Sandler from her book&nbsp;<i>Righteous: Dispatches from the Evangelical Youth Movement</i>: “We are poised before the next Great Awakening in American History.”&nbsp; <a href="https://ifapray.org/blog/2024-a-year-in-revival/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continue &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p>
