A film premiering at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts promises to open “a window into a spiritual awakening” taking place across the country among America’s youth. The Daily Wire can first report that the Washington, D.C., theater will host the red carpet premiere of “The Revival Generation” on Wednesday, August 27. The film, produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network, “showcases the remarkable resurgence of faith among the youth of America,” the Kennedy Center said in a statement. “‘The Revival Generation,’ takes viewers inside a movement where students are being baptized in lakes, fountains, and football stadiums — capturing unforgettable worship moments, and testimonies from prominent Christian voices, including Dr. Ben Carson and Jennie Allen,” the Kennedy Center said. The red carpet premiere “promises to be a historic gathering of worship, testimony, and celebration taking place in America’s cultural center – marking not just a film premiere, but a powerful milestone in a growing movement of faith across the country.” “The Revival Generation” tells the story of young people who have rejected “everything the world has to offer” and sought meaning in religious faith. At the heart of the story is UniteUS, which describes itself as “a movement of college students united to lift the name of Jesus.” The group launched with a September 2023 event at Auburn University, where thousands of students gathered to pray. Since then, UniteUS has held events on campuses across the country, drawing on and fueling Gen Z’s thirst for religious faith. UniteUS founder Tonya Prewett says her journey began while she was mentoring students at Auburn — where her husband was an assistant basketball coach. Realizing that so many of the young women she spoke with battled anxiety and depression, she started a Bible study that eventually grew into the campus revival. “As I see the UniteUS story shared in ‘The Revival Generation,’ I am reminded that prayer is powerful and great things can happen when we say ‘yes’ to God,” Prewett said. “Gen Z is experiencing spiritual revival like never before, and we should be expectant for the ways that God will continue to move among this generation.” Prewett’s husband, Chad, left Auburn after 11 years to work full time in UniteUS’s ministry.

Photo Courtesy of The Kennedy Center Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell shared his excitement for the premiere, noting his own roots in a previous religious revival. “In the early 1900s, my mom’s family was part of the Azusa Street revival in Los Angeles, which helped ignite the Jesus movement of the 1970s,” he explained, referencing African American minister William J. Seymour’s racially integrated, spontaneous worship event. “Today, we are on the cusp of another exciting revival in America and this film premiere at our nation’s cultural center highlights some of those beginnings.” “The Revival Generation” premiere is the latest event to showcase the new direction the Kennedy Center has taken under Grenell and President Donald Trump. In June, the Kennedy Center hosted a sold-out premiere of “The King of Kings,” an animated account of the life of Jesus. Shortly after taking office, Trump criticized the Kennedy Center for hosting drag shows, and pledged to overhaul the venue’s offerings with more family-friendly productions. “For far too long, stories of faith have been sidelined in America’s cultural institutions,” Kennedy Center Vice President of Public Relations Roma Daravi said. “Hosting the premiere of ‘The Revival Generation’ at the Kennedy Center sends a clear message that America’s cultural center is a place for everyone, and faith belongs in the national spotlight.” CBN host Abigail Robertson, who produced the film, said she had no plans for “The Revival Generation” to premiere at as august a venue as the Kennedy Center. “But God had plans far greater than ours,” she said.

President Trump will meet with Vladimir Putin in Alaska this week in a high-stakes effort to broker a peace deal for Ukraine. A seismic shift in the media landscape sees leftist talk show hosts falter while conservative voices gain prominence. The Department of Justice is investigating prominent Democrats Letitia James and Adam Schiff for alleged civil rights abuses and mortgage fraud. It’s Monday, August 11, 2025, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Morning Wire is available on video! You can watch today’s episode here:     If you’d rather listen to your news, today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below:   Trump to Meet With Putin in High-Stakes Summit Topline: President Trump will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday for their first face-to-face summit since Trump returned to office, in a high-stakes push to end the war in Ukraine. The meeting comes after a month of escalating U.S. pressure on Moscow, including increased weapons sales to NATO, sanctions, and secondary tariffs on countries that do business with Russia. While the White House is tempering expectations, President Trump is confident he can persuade Putin to agree to a deal. Discussions will likely involve security guarantees for Ukraine and territorial concessions. Trump has implied a deal would require “some swapping of territories to the betterment of both”. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not scheduled to attend the initial meeting and has bristled at the idea of ceding any land. The summit announcement came just before Trump brokered another historic peace deal, this time between Armenia and Azerbaijan. After signing the treaty at the White House on Friday, the leaders of both countries announced they would formally nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The deal is the latest in a string of ceasefires and peace agreements secured by the president in the last few months. Media Landscape Shifts as Left-Wing Hosts Falter Topline: A seismic shift appears to be underway in the media landscape, with longtime left-wing talk show hosts like Stephen Colbert and Howard Stern facing cancellation or declining viewership while conservative voices gain mainstream acceptance. Following the recent cancellation of “The Late Show,” host Stephen Colbert has encouraged viewers to protest his firing, implying the decision was made to appease President Trump. However, his show was reportedly losing around $40 million a year, and his viewership has plummeted from a peak of 3.1 million in 2018 to just 1.9 million today. Rumors are also swirling that Sirius XM is preparing to oust Howard Stern, whose contract is up this fall. The New York Post has reported his audience has dropped from 20 million a day to just 125,000, a decline many analysts attribute to his embrace of a “woke” persona. In contrast, Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, the current ratings king of late-night, was a guest on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” last week. New York magazine described the move as host Jimmy Fallon “kissing the ring” of conservatives. The developments suggest the long era of late-night shows serving as a reliable stronghold for amplifying liberal talking points may be coming to an end. DOJ Investigating Trump Antagonists Schiff and James Topline: The Department of Justice is investigating two of President Trump’s most prominent political antagonists, New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Senator Adam Schiff, for alleged civil rights abuses and mortgage fraud. The U.S. attorney in Albany has issued subpoenas to James over potential civil rights violations related to her 2023 civil case against Trump and a separate corruption case against the National Rifle Association. Both James and Schiff are also being investigated for alleged mortgage fraud, stemming from criminal referrals by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. James allegedly claimed a Virginia home as her primary residence to secure better loan terms, while Schiff is accused of doing the same with a home in Maryland while serving as a U.S. representative for California. The probes come as a federal grand jury is reportedly investigating the recent revelations from DNI Tulsi Gabbard regarding the origins of the Russia collusion hoax. Vice President JD Vance said over the weekend that he expects indictments to follow. “What they basically did is they defrauded the American people in order… to take Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign talking points and turn them into intelligence,” Vance said. “That’s a violation of the people’s trust… We’ve got to have consequences for it or we’re just going to see the same play repeated again and after again”.

Is there anything more frustrating than getting caught in traffic? This always seems to happen during the worst times, like when you’re late to work or are trying to enjoy your vacation. A group of visitors to Yellowstone National Park, however, were lucky enough to experience a very rare kind of traffic jam. Sure, they were still forced to be at a standstill. But the reason why proved to be quite heartwarming. Like other national parks, Yellowstone is home to a number of majestic animals. That includes the elk. Members of the deer family, these animals are absolutely precious. So, when a whole family of them started to casually make their way across the road, everyone made sure to give them the space they needed to safely make it to the other side. Witness this sweet moment in the video below! @uknowtweet I can't believe I witnessed this. ♬ Run Away with Me – Louis Island “The last [elk] looking back to say thank you,” a commenter points out. Others add, “A nice reminder that enjoying the open road isn’t just about us” and “It’s like the big ones were making sure the coast was clear for the little ones to cross.” Visitors to Yellowstone National Park Experience an Unexpected Traffic Jam for the Best Reason It’s truly no wonder the person who shared this video says, “I can’t believe I witnessed this.” Yellowstone National Park is home to a number of animals, but elk are the most abundant mammals you’ll find here. More specifically, there are usually around 10,000 to 20,000 of them in the summer. How cool is that!? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yellowstone National Park (@yellowstonenps) As is the case with any wild animal, it’s important to take precautions when near an elk. For example, it’s said that the park requires guests to keep a distance of at least 25 yards. While these creatures are adorable, they can become aggressive, especially during certain times of year like mating season. Still, as this video show, there are plenty of ways to respectfully admire our animal friends from afar! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
