Josh Howerton Says America Is a 'Prodigal Nation' Finding Its Way Back

Lakepointe Church pastor Josh Howerton says he sees a "resurgence of the purposes of God" across the United States as Americans grow weary of what he calls a non-ignorable dark force in the world. He frames the country as a prodigal that is starting the walk home rather than one that has arrived. Pastors reporting rising attendance and baptisms have made versions of this claim for two years; the data on whether it holds is still thin.
