Episode 231-From 2nd Chapter of Acts to a Lifetime of Faith: Matthew Ward’s Story

About this sermon

What happens when a generation hungry for truth encounters the transforming power of Jesus Christ? In the late 1960s and 1970s, the Jesus Movement swept across America, changing lives, reshaping Christian music, and leaving a spiritual legacy that is still being felt today. On this week’s episode of The Alex McFarland Show, Alex welcomes Matthew Ward—acclaimed author, the youngest of nine children, and a member of the legendary Christian music group 2nd Chapter of Acts. Matthew takes us back to the days of the Jesus Movement, a remarkable spiritual awakening that transformed countless lives and helped shape a generation of believers. Together, Alex and Matthew explore the history and impact of the movement, the role music played in spreading the Gospel, and why its message of hope, transformation, and faith in Jesus remains just as relevant today. What can Christians today learn from the Jesus Movement? And could we see another spiritual awakening in our generation? Tune in for an inspiring conversation about faith, revival, music, and boldly sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
