When God’s Spirit Surprises Us - Sarah Baldwin - 104 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

When the Spirit of God moves, how can we best steward that experience without getting in the way? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by the Reverend Dr. Sarah Baldwin, Vice President of Student Life at Asbury University. Sarah has served for nearly 30 years in Christian higher education in a variety of roles, including University Pastor and Vice President. She's an ordained elder in the Free Methodist Church. Her most recent book is entitled Generation Awakened. Together, Sarah and Jason explore some of the questions and challenges we might face as ministry leaders when God moves in a dramatic fashion. Sarah also shares her firsthand experiences behind the scenes of the revival that broke out at Asbury in February 2023 and the lessons that God taught her through that experience.
