Desperate for More: The First Great Awakening

Travel back to the time of colonial America and imperial Britain to witness the first revival in American history and see the seeds of revolution planted in the hearts of the colonists. Delve into the teachings of Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and the Wesley brothers. The First Great Awakening was a response to an age of skepticism and reason known as the Enlightenment, a movement that sought to remove God from the equation and impose reason as the pinnacle of authority. The Holy Spirit moved in the First Great Awakening to prepare the western world for a coming age of liberty, peace, and even miracles.
