Was the Second Great Awakening helpful to the Christian cause? In this episode, Alex and Scott sit down with ABWE President Paul Davis to discuss the lasting effects of Charles Finney in the Second Great Awakening on the church today. As a former pastor and church leader, Paul explores the manipulative tactics in evangelicalism brought on by the Second Great Awakening and why it ultimately damages the Christian witness. In the discussion, we analyze the crucial importance of a proper biblical doctrine of conversion that takes both the head and heart into account—pursuing revival that brings lasting changes and not mere flash-in-the-pan experiences.
