The Quiet Revival is no more; YouGov has retracted its conclusions, and the data has been debunked [see en explainer here]. A full apology was sent to the Bible Society.
Owing to the blessing we have received in recent years at Noddfa Church in the Welsh valleys, I have had the opportunity to speak and comment on several podcasts, media outlets and at many conferences about this alleged phenomenon.
I have said the same thing at every interview: “Revivals are not quiet.” They are loud and messy as broken people are pulled away from their old, sinful lives and learn how to start again in a new community of grace.
