Rev. Dr. Sarah Baldwin

Generation Awakened

Today on the podcast we are joined by Rev. Dr. Sarah Baldwin to talk about her book, Generation Awakened. Dr. Baldwin is the Vice President of Student Life & Dean of Students at Asbury University and an Asbury Seminary alum. Her book details her experience in leadership during the Asbury Outpouring in February 2023. In our conversation we talk about some of the stories she shares in her book and how the leadership team at Asbury University navigated a remarkable move of God that started with their student body and ended up attracting people from around the world to Wilmore, Ky. Whether you were in Wilmore to experience the Outpouring or only heard about it, this is a fascinating conversation about what unfolded during those incredible days.
