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.Listen in to learn more:(1:10) Revival hype vs. true revival(1:45) The sacredness of personal revival and its unseen work(3:47) Rocky analogy: Revival isn’t for public show, it’s deep and gritty(7:42) How Global Christian Relief is sparking revival(8:32) Biblical foundation: Acts 1 & 2, unity in prayer, and the early church(10:00) The Moravian Revival of 1727: A 100-year prayer movement that sparked global missions(11:33) Elements of authentic revival: Unified hunger, extraordinary prayer, confession and reconciliation, sincere worship, centered on God's presence(16:15) The role of justice and righteous living in revival (Amos 5:24)(16:50) Practical steps for fostering revival in your life and community(17:44) Closing encouragement: Pray, unite, invite others, and seek revival nowMentioned in the episode:Come Back to God Bible Study: https://www.lisawhittle.com/comebackGlobal Christian Relief: http://link.globalchristianrelief.org/lisaCoaching with Lisa: https://www.lisawhittle.com/coaching-with-lisa Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.lisawhittle.comSubstack: https://letsbeclear.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lisawhittleofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisawhittleofficial
