Something remarkable happened at the University of Cincinnati this week: a UniteUS event drew roughly 5,500 students, and organizers report hundreds of baptisms and thousands of new church connections as young people publicly traded the coffin of their old lives for new life in Christ. This isn’t a campus pep rally or a political stunt — it’s raw, visible conversion, with students being baptized in pickup truck beds and makeshift tubs as crowds cheered like a cultural exorcism.
This surge is not an isolated flash in the pan but part of a nationwide movement led by ministries and leaders like Tonya Prewett, Jennie Allen, and Pastor Jonathan Pokluda who have been traveling campus to campus to preach the gospel, lead worship, and invite students to be baptized. Their model is simple and effective: meet students where they are, call them to confession and surrender, and give them a next step into local churches and discipleship.
Other campuses are seeing the same spiritual hunger spilled onto arenas and fields — from Purdue where thousands gathered and nearly half of attendees flooded the altar, to West Virginia University where 5,000 students showed up and nearly 1,000 answered the call to respond. These are not small Bible-study numbers; these are stadium-sized encounters that dwarf the hollow slogans our elites keep throwing at young people.
Make no mistake, this revival is evidence that the human soul resists the soft totalitarianism of identity politics and secular nihilism. The left’s project on campus has been to strip meaning, replace God with grievance, and train citizens to worship the state and consumer identity instead of the Creator — and young Americans are walking away from that. Conservatives should celebrate loudly: these students are choosing faith over fashionable falsehoods, community over isolation, and truth over relativism.
Universities and the media will try to spin or downplay these nights of repentance, but the numbers tell the real story — organizers at Cincinnati say roughly 2,000 students were connected to local churches at the event, which is exactly the concrete, on-the-ground rebuilding America needs. When kids are baptized and then plugged into churches and ministries, you don’t just change a weekend headline; you change families, neighborhoods, and the moral character of the next generation.
For patriots who love this country, the lesson is clear: back the revival. Support campus ministries, volunteer with local churches, and stop treating faith as private theater while the culture collapses. This youthful turning to Christ is the most hopeful news in years — and if conservatives fail to cheer, resource, and defend it, the left will do everything in its power to bury the good news under bureaucracy and cancel culture.
