In this special episode, Dr. Randy Turpin announces the release of his new book "The Shepherd Remains: Francis Asbury's Revolutionary War Journal, 1775-1784." Discover the incredible story of Francis Asbury, one of only two Methodist ministers who defied John Wesley's orders to return to England during the Revolutionary War, choosing instead to stay with his American flock.

Randy shares how his own family history research led him to uncover his ancestor Solomon Turpin II's role in hosting early Methodist ministers, including Asbury himself. Through Asbury's own journal entries, listeners get a firsthand look at faith under fire during America's founding era—from naval battles to personal struggles, all while this devoted minister helped "stack the wood" for what would eventually become the fire of the Second Great Awakening.

Whether you're interested in American history, revival culture, or simply want inspiration from a life well-lived during turbulent times, this episode offers a compelling glimpse into one man's unwavering commitment to his calling when revolution threatened to tear a nation apart.

Join Dr. Randy Turpin in his conversation with Pastor Greg Griffith of Willard Church of God to discuss the extraordinary revival that is transforming a small Ohio town. What started as a simple four-day youth revival in January 2025 exploded into a five-week spiritual awakening that saw 487 baptisms and crowds of over 400 people nightly in a community of just 6,100 residents.

This student-led revival is touching every generation.

Discover how years of faithful community outreach prepared the soil for this harvest of souls. Learn about the practical challenges of stewarding an unexpected move of God and how this small-town church continues to experience sustained growth months after the scheduled revival services have concluded.

In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Randy Turpin pauses his planned revival series to address the tragic flooding in Texas that has claimed over 80 lives and left many missing. Speaking from Princeton, West Virginia, while visiting his parents, Dr. Turpin reflects on the Christian response to tragedy and the importance of taking time to embrace the heart of God in the midst of what is happening.

Rather than rushing to provide quick fixes or definitive answers, Dr. Turpin emphasizes the biblical call to "rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn" (Romans 12:15). He explores how connecting heart-to-heart with others in their pain is a way of connecting with God's heart, and why genuine intercession requires us to feel the weight of tragedy in our own hearts.

The episode includes practical ways to help, including supporting reputable organizations like Samaritan's Purse, while challenging listeners to move beyond casual "praying for you" comments to intentional, faith-filled intercession. Dr. Turpin shares his personal practice of stopping to actually pray before typing or saying those words, emphasizing that prayer from God's presence can shift realities.

This raw, unscripted conversation invites listeners to embrace their humanity in the face of suffering and discover how authentic mourning can become powerful ministry. The episode concludes with a heartfelt prayer for those affected by the Texas flooding.
