The mental health crisis, the suicidal ideation crisis, the just—

gender identity, there's so much going on that is so hard.

The political climate, there's so much darkness, but the hunger and the hope like is so incredible to get a front row seat every Tuesday and then not just on Tuesdays, but with our leaders and with our staff, there is truly, and people hear this all the time, like revival's happening.

Something's going on with Gen Z, awakening.

And as somebody who just gets to see it, I'm like, that is happening.

It is happening in unprecedented ways,

I do believe prayer is a thing that has been the catalyst of people just saying, I'm hungry to encounter the presence of God, and I want to be with Him and know Him.

And there's something that He just changes things from the inside out.

And so getting to be a part of it, and you've gone, you've seen it.

And we tell people all the time, come see.

Like, just come see.

Because when you're in a room full of thousands of students,

There's something in you that's like, oh, okay, God, you're moving.

It does sink the question.

So I'm going to just go with a quote that has formed me most recently.

And it's a mutual friend, John Tyson, who we love and respect.

And we were talking about parenting.

And I'm in that season so much with teenagers also.

And he said to me,

underreact in person, overreact in prayer.
