In week four of there conversations on "Revival", Pastor Chris and Bobby talk more about the concept of sanctification as a two-fold process of being set apart from sin and set apart to God. They outline practical steps for keeping oneself clean from spiritual defilement and highlight the significance of accountability, keeping in the word and developing a daily routine of self-examination. 

As they continue their conversations on "Revival", Pastor Chris and Bobby dive deeper into the story of David and the concept of revival that it illustrates. Through David's story, they discuss the importance of personal revival and how detrimental minimizing or hiding our sin can be to ourselves and to those around us. 

In the next episode of Beyond The Message, Pastor Chris and Bobby discuss how Revival requires a deep examination of our lives, laying aside the old self and putting on the new self in Christ. They further talk through the importance of repentance, returning to God, and living according to His guidance through meditation on His Word and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. They give some practical steps on how to guard yourself against things that are not edifying and how to know when the "old self" may be resurfacing.
