God is using Gen Z to sound a wake up call to older Christians

It may have begun with students, but Rich Wilson believes that what God is doing at Asbury is an invitation, a sign and an alarm call to us all, especially those in the second half of life. It’s time to prioritise the work of Christ in us, he says
My journey to Asbury was not my idea. I love God, I love the spaces and places where God is moving and I live with Christ in me. I don’t need to go anywhere to get ‘more’ of God. Except that is far too simplistic and God consumes my theology with his ways. His ways are far higher than mine and, so, a few days ago, I found myself at Asbury University.
What did I see and experience? What do I believe God is doing? And what can the UK Church learn?
