Jesus Over Everything Come Back to God: Revival That Shifts a Culture
Continuing the “Come Back to God” mini-series, Lisa Whittle builds on previous discussions about where revival begins and how it moves from wild gatherings into the streets. Authentic revival isn’t confined to church walls; it’s about lives changed so profoundly that their transformation influences entire communities and even culture. Using powerful biblical and historical examples—such as Pentecost and the Welsh Revival—Lisa illustrates how revival’s true fruit includes lifestyle changes, justice, and community renewal. She emphasizes that lasting revival requires humility, love, ongoing repentance, deep discipleship, and persistent prayer. Lisa encourages listeners to reflect on where God wants to move in their neighborhoods, workplaces, and families—and how they can be part of a movement that shifts culture for God’s glory.
