This Week In Jacksonville<\/a><\/p>\n

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 In this episode of \u201cThis Week in Jacksonville: Business Edition<\/a>,\u201d host Kent Justice talks with Revival 250 organizer Chris Widener and Bold City Church pastor Jason Masters about Revival 250\u2014an upcoming faith-focused event scheduled for May 3 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

He shares that Jacksonville was selected after sustained prayer\u2014and became even more meaningful once the team connected the city\u2019s early history to the French Huguenots, among the first Protestant settlers and martyrs in what is now the Jacksonville area.<\/p>\n

The guests also discuss potential economic and community ripple effects\u2014from the immediate impact of a major arena event to longer-term outcomes such as increased charitable giving, stronger community engagement, and values-driven leadership in business. Masters encourages local pastors to connect and participate ahead of May, while Widener underscores the team\u2019s aim: that on May 4, the community can look back and say, \u201cLook what God did.\u201d<\/p>\n
