The Origin Of The NPChurch
Many young people are questioning and returning to scripture, exposing short-term solutions the Western Church improvised through history.

Our idea of "revival" puts God in a box (pt. 2)
Our idea of "revival" can put God in a box and limit our understanding of His work. New movements of God are ways for us to know His heart even better and we must seek to understand them.
