Jesus Over Everything Come Back to God: When Revival Goes Wild
In part two of the "Come Back to God" podcast mini-series, Lisa Whittle challenges the culture of "revival hype" and invites listeners to consider revival's deep, holy roots. While stadiums and tents may symbolize revival, Lisa emphasizes that true revival is about heart transformation—marked by conviction, discomfort, and unity. She reflects on biblical examples like Pentecost and the Moravian Revival to highlight the importance of unified prayer, confession, and God's presence. Lisa encourages us to seek authentic revival—not for show, but for lasting change—and invites listeners to reflect on how they can foster revival within their own hearts and communities. The episode concludes with practical steps to pursue revival, including prayer, reconciliation, and justice.
