| S3E4 | Revival

Revival // S3E4 It may take a revival of God's people for kindness to become revolutionary. On this episode we take a deep dive into some of the more well known revivals of the last two centuries that not only had an effect on the believer, but also the communities around them.

In this episode the following is discussed:

• What is a revival?
• Why being humble is one key to revival
• The hard-hearted of our society
• A comparison of some of greatest revivals
• Street preaching - is this still a thing, or are there more "Platform Preachers" - Yvette coined this term!
• Revival brought about worship and big changes in the communities and changed the course of history!
• Are we at a similar place of desperation to spark another revival
• Also we discuss 8 reasons North America may not be ready for revival (list is from Chuck Lawless)

Joel 2:12-14

“Yet even now,” declares the LORD,

“return to me with all your heart,

with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;

and rend your hearts and not your garments.”

Return to the LORD your God,

for he is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;

and he relents over disaster.

Who knows whether he will not turn and relent,

and leave a blessing behind him,

a grain offering and a drink offering

for the LORD your God?
