In this episode of The Measure of Revival, we journey into the story of Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s crippled son, who was carried from obscurity in Lo-debar to a seat at King David’s table. His life reminds us that revival is not about our strength, ability, or pedigree — it is about the King’s covenant of kindness. Just as Mephibosheth was lifted from shame into honor, so too revival lifts us from barrenness into belonging. This is the grace of God: He restores what is broken, redeems what is forgotten, and redefines who we are and were we are seated in the process. David, a type and shadow of Jesus, reminds us that the invitation of the King is available to us just as we are. 

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How Mephibosheth’s brokenness points us to our own need for God's kindness, and that God uses even the broken things in our life to seat us as a table of blessing.
• The meaning of “Lo-debar” (a place of no pasture or baronness ) and its spiritual parallel to our own lives.
• Why the King's invitation is available to us despite our circumstances and season.
• The kindness of God that always remembers His people from generation to generation.

Focus Verses:
