Inspired by some concerns she has with Jennie Allen and the Unite Us movement going around college campuses, Christy beings a two part series exploring the difference between an actual movement of God and spiritual manipulation. Christy digs into the latest Unite Us event in Knoxville at the University of Tennessee. She looks into the events that unfolded at the Thompson Bowling Arena last week and compares them with similar events that she heard about from someone online at a difference conference.
Music can create emotion. Professional Christian bands know how to play songs and chords in ways that will give us a "moment." We can manipulate people with guilt and shame, and coerce them with forced vulnerability. But are the results truly from the Holy Spirit or are they simply a consequence of our carefully planned actions?
