At the Asbury Outpouring, pastor and revival leader Zach Meerkreebs witnessed firsthand what happens when people make room for the Holy Spirit to work. In this episode, Zach unpacks how we can posture ourselves to receive an outpouring of God’s presence. He calls us to move beyond just longing for revival and instead take practical steps to create space for God to move in our lives, our churches, and our culture. Zach reminds us that revival isn’t something we manufacture—it’s something we prepare for. He challenges us to ask: Are we creating space for God to move, or are we too distracted, too busy, or too skeptical to welcome His presence? Listen in as Zach makes it clear that when we surrender, seek Him, and cultivate expectant faith, we create the conditions for an outpouring that can transform not just our lives, but entire communities.
