The Awakening Has Begun: Share What God Has Done

There’s a spiritual awakening happening right now — one that’s shaking college campuses, challenging statistics, and proving once again that God doesn’t need permission to move.

For years, Barna Research has reported that 70–80% of Christian students walk away from their faith during college. But something’s changing. A supernatural movement is rising among this generation, and God is flipping the script.

It’s not about hype. It’s not about lights, platforms, or celebrity pastors. It’s about people — ordinary believers boldly living out their faith in classrooms, dorm rooms, offices, and neighborhoods.

Sound familiar? It should. That’s exactly what Mark 16:20 tells us happened in the early church:
“And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.”


1. They Went Out
The disciples didn’t stay in their comfort zones. They went out.

Faith comes alive in motion. God has called you into the spaces He has already placed you — your job, your home, your friendships.

Throughout history, God has raised up witnesses in the darkest times to boldly proclaim His truth.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in Nazi Germany, risked his life to teach and oppose injustice, bringing God’s truth into a hostile culture. 

Martin Luther King, Jr. used his platform to preach God’s vision of justice and love to a nation steeped in darkness.

Both men remind us: faith is not passive. It moves, speaks, and confronts darkness with God’s light.

God continues to raise up witnesses today. Take Charlie Kirk as a modern-day example. While many see him as a political figure, his pastor described him as someone who viewed politics as an on-ramp for the Gospel.

Charlie used Scripture and reason to reach hearts, challenge secular thinking, and open doors for Jesus – not through miracles, but through truth applied courageously.
That’s not political; that’s purposeful!

Where has God placed you to bring light into darkness? Maybe it’s your workplace, a classroom, a friend who’s struggling, or a small group you lead. Every space you occupy is an on-ramp for the Gospel — and God is ready to work with you there.


2. Know What You Believe
Power without preparation can be dangerous. If you’re going to be effective in anything — a skill, a job, or a calling — you have to practice. The same is true for faith.

Colossians 2:8 warns:
“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.”

When the Word is inside you:

• You recognize deception and cut through confusion.
• You speak truth and bring peace where fear or doubt try to take hold.
• You stand firm when others fold under pressure.

Faith without grounding in Scripture is like giving someone a sword they don’t know how to use. God wants us skilled in His Word so that when we step into dark places, our witness is not only bold but wise, faithful, and life-giving.


3. The Lord Works With You
God moves through willing vessels.

He doesn’t wait for perfection — He looks for participation.

When you step out, He steps in.

When you speak truth, He confirms it.

When you love people, He multiplies the impact.

There’s no “someday” in the kingdom. Every day is an opportunity for God to work through you.


4. Confirming the Word with Signs
Mark tells us the Lord confirmed His Word “through accompanying signs.” Sometimes, those signs are miracles. Other times, they’re changed hearts.

The revival stirring on college campuses, in workplaces, and in our neighborhoods are clear signs: God is still confirming His Word today. He’s using ordinary believers to shine light into darkness, just like He did in the early church.


Live in the Amen
“Amen” is an agreement with God’s will. It means, “So be it.”
You are a living amen — a sign that God’s plan is still unfolding.

When you live your faith out loud, the world sees Jesus through you.

Let’s go out. Let’s speak truth. Let’s live in the Amen.
