Walking with George Whitefield

Discover the timeless wisdom of George Whitefield, the most influential evangelist of the Great Awakening, through this powerful 31-day spiritual journey. Step into the extraordinary world of the 18th century's most dynamic preacher—a man who crossed the Atlantic thirteen times, preached 18,000 sermons, and literally transformed the spiritual landscape of two continents. From his passionate emphasis on the "new birth" to his remarkable humility in deflecting all glory to Jesus, Whitefield's life challenges modern believers to embrace authentic, transformational Christianity. Each daily reading features an authentic quote from Whitefield's sermons, personal journals, or correspondence, paired with contextual insights that bring his world to life, relevant Scripture, and practical faith activation steps. Whether confronting opposition with grace, finding strength in weakness, or building strategic kingdom partnerships, Whitefield demonstrates what wholehearted devotion to Christ looks like in practice. Pastor Chris Goeppner draws from years of studying Whitefield's writings and visiting historical sites throughout New England to reveal not just his theological insights but his heart—his struggles with adversity, seasons of spiritual dryness, and unwavering commitment to making Christ known whatever the cost. This devotional addresses contemporary challenges: cultural Christianity, spiritual comfort zones, self-promotion culture, and evangelistic hesitancy. Through biographical spiritual formation, readers encounter faith lived boldly through real circumstances, moving from historical insight to personal application. For believers seeking renewed passion, ministry leaders wanting proven strategies, and anyone desiring to live with greater spiritual intensity, Walking with Whitefield provides a month of inspiration from a man whose voice still resonates centuries later. The message is clear: the same God who worked powerfully through an 18th-century evangelist desires to work through contemporary believers willing to embrace Christ-centered living with similar dedication and humility.
