The True Path to Freedom

Something is happening across the world. Revival is breaking outl, God is moving, and we have a choice: lean in or miss it. In this episode, we are sharing Jennie's message from Gather. As she reflects on her own experiences witnessing the glory of God, she issues a challenge to all of us: Will we choose awe or cynicism? Will we trade comfort for surrender? Will we confess the things holding us back and truly step into the freedom God has for us? This episode is raw, unfiltered, and urgent. Jennie shares her vivid dream that started Gather 25 and why she believes the church must wake up. The storm of revival is coming—will you be part of it, or will it pass you by? Or will we be so distracted by our comforts, our cynicism, and our self-made plans that we miss it?This is a call to action. Confess, repent, and let God move in your life. Revival isn’t coming—it’s already here. Will you be part of it? Press play, lean in, and let’s go. We love our friends at Dwell Differently who make scripture memory easier!
