Alton Hardy is the son of Selma, Alabama sharecroppers. He grew up on America’s margins, fled the margins, and then returned in a stunning reversal of life. In this episode, Rev. Hardy shares about experiencing the New Testament reality in the American south, seeing revival through prayer, going deeper than temporal justice to fruitful discipleship, and the deep spiritual hunger he’s found among young men and women in Birmingham/Fairfield, Alabama. This is revival on the margins.
