In this video, Josh P. S. Samuel (PhD), discussed the influential, inspiration, and often neglected leader of the Azusa Street Revival, which was a crucial moment that has impacted millions of Christians, particularly those belonging to the Pentecostal and Charismatic communities. Josh not only provides some of the story of Seymour and the Azusa Street Revival, but provides 3 particularly inspiring aspects of Seymour's life for people today near the end of the video. Josh also provides more material on Seymour to further study his life and ministry in the video, and in the links below.
Special thanks to the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Centre for providing the many early Pentecostal history pictures and documents that were used in this video. Check out their website for incredible resources: https://ifphc.org/
