The Kerusso – March | 2025 Kerusso (Greek): “To publish, proclaim openly: something which has been done.”
God is On the Move Max Edwards In the fictional world created by C. S. Lewis, Narnia had been in a 100-year-long winter in which evil had run rampant, but things were about to change as the four Pevensie children had stumbled in through the wardrobe. Later in Beaver’s home, Mr. Beaver made a statement about a rising future hope for change, saying simply, ‘Aslan is on the move.’ “At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something jump in its inside. Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of summer.” ~ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Click here for a YouTube clip about Narnia's Winter
In Lewis’s imagery, Aslan the Lion represented Jesus Christ. But the beautiful truth is this - - right here, in our present non-fictional world of 2025, God is indeed ON THE MOVE. Gen Z’ers and other young people in our time are hungry. They are hungry for something real that isn’t clouded by inane political infighting … hungry for something that isn’t phony … hungry for something besides a shiny façade, and that isn’t marked by catastrophic moral failure. There are plenty of examples of famous folk that either certainly are, or at least seem to be, opportunistic predators both in and out of the faith … names like Epstein, “Diddy” Combs, and Cosby, alongside several Christian leaders who have deeply disappointed their followers. But there is a real shaking going on, and revival is spreading across college campuses and in some urban sectors. The outpouring at Asbury two years ago was a bit of a watershed moment, but the stirring wasn’t (and isn’t) just isolated to one Christian college. Florida State University is experiencing a move of God in an unprecedented fashion. And campuses like Ohio State are becoming hotbeds of spiritual awakening. Blogger Michael Foust* writes on Crosswalk.com “Nearly 2,000 students at Ohio State University surrendered their lives to Jesus Tuesday [February 18th, 2025] during a one-night worship service that [was] part of the “Unite Us” movement sweeping the nation. The event drew more than 6,500 students to the Schottenstein Center -- the home of the Buckeyes basketball team -- and also attracted support from players of the national championship football team. "We've been in awe of how God has already been moving on this campus over the past year, and He met us here again tonight," the official Unite Us Instagram page said. "God is moving in this generation, and we know that He's just getting started!" Nearly 2,000 students "responded to the altar call - experiencing the freedom only He can bring.

According to the reports I have read, they had to bring in baptismal troughs on U-Haul trucks to have enough capacity to baptize the number of students who had committed their lives to Jesus. Amazing!!!
