Run To The Roar

This Precarious Moment

Culture rarely changes overnight, and that’s exactly why we talk about revival as a process—local, practical, and measured in decades. We share how old American sermons connected scripture to real life, from business ethics to criminal justice, and why adopting a kingdom mindset moves faith beyond the pews into our neighborhoods, schools, and city halls. Along the way, we explore the surprising data on younger Americans and life, and why mentorship might be the most underrated lever for long-term change.

You’ll hear vivid stories of transgenerational influence: Samuel Cooper investing in a young John Quincy Adams; Gilbert Tennent shaping Benjamin Rush; Samuel Davies forming Patrick Henry’s voice; and Adams, in turn, inspiring a young legislator named Abraham Lincoln to persevere against slavery. These aren’t just history lessons—they’re blueprints. Pick one person. Pour in. Let wisdom travel farther than you will.

We also get honest about the cost. George Whitefield’s horseback circuits, opposition from within the church, and preaching that literally spent his life remind us that real renewal requires grit. The takeaway is simple and demanding: act locally, disciple deeply, think in decades, invest across generations, and work hard because it’s right. If we run to the roar with truth and grace, we can be the salt and light that push back decay and darkness, one faithful step at a time.
