Convention Forum to Explore the Asbury Outpouring

The 2024 EPA convention will feature two sessions focused on the 2023 Asbury Outpouring.

A plenary forum, “How They Did It: Behind the Scenes as Media Descended on Revival,” will feature three Asbury panelists—Dr. Kevin Brown, Asbury President; Mark Whitworth, Asbury VP for Intercollegiate Athletics and Strategic Communications; and Lexie Presta, Asbury Collegian student newspaper editor. It will be moderated by Biola journalism professor, Michael Longinow.

A breakout session, “Where’s the ‘So What’ in Covering a Revival?”, will feature three journalists who covered the story for secular media: Phil Pendleton, broadcast journalist for WKYT-TV Lexington; Lucy Bryson, broadcast journalist for WKYT-TV Lexington; and Thomas Lyons, a seminary professor at Northern Seminary who covered the event for The Atlantic. This session will also be moderated by Longinow.
