Creating The Future with Brent Simpson

What if the resurrection of Jesus isn’t just something you believe by faith — but something you can investigate with evidence?

In Part 1 of this special Easter conversation, Dr. Brent Simpson makes the historical case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Not a church talk. Not a feel-good Easter message. A real, evidence-based conversation that takes the question seriously — and follows the facts wherever they lead.

Whether you’re a lifelong believer who’s never dug into the evidence, a skeptic who thinks faith and reason don’t mix, or someone who’s just asking honest questions — this episode was made for you.

Because at the end of the day, Christianity doesn’t ask you to check your brain at the door. It points to a historical event and says: go check.

🔥 5 Reasons Christian Couples Have MORE & Better Sex

Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson

In this honest and eye-opening episode, Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with Pastor Jonny Turpin to tackle a topic that often gets whispered about in church—but deserves clarity, confidence, and truth:

Why do Christian couples often report having more sex and better sex than their peers?

Backed by research, Scripture, and real-life wisdom, this conversation reframes sexual intimacy not as something shameful—but as something designed, protected, and blessed by God within marriage.

This episode is for:

💡 The 5 Reasons We Discuss

1️⃣ More Intimacy (Not Just Sex)

2️⃣ Less Porn, More Trust

3️⃣ Less Infidelity

4️⃣ A Greater Sense of Service

5️⃣ It’s God’s Will

📊 What the Research Shows

Sociologist Brad Wilcox (University of Virginia) notes:

“Husbands and wives who share a common faith report more sex and greater sexual satisfaction than their peers… For most husbands and wives, more faith equals better sex.”

He also found that shared faith is linked to:

Faith doesn’t repress intimacy—it strengthens it.

This episode reframes sex through a biblical lens—not with guilt or awkwardness, but with honesty, hope, and wisdom. God’s design doesn’t limit pleasure; it protects and multiplies it.

Welcome to Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson where we dive into stories, truths, and deep questions that help shape our faith, our families, and our future.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Brent sits down with David Bradshaw, founder of Awaken the Dawn, to unpack one of the most compelling modern prayer and worship movements in America.

David shares the unlikely and faith-filled story behind how Awaken the Dawn was birthed, including the early steps of obedience that led to the first historic gatherings on the National Mall. What began as a simple “yes” to God became a national moment marked by worship, prayer, humility, and the tangible presence of God.

This conversation goes beyond events and into the heart of revival—why God’s presence must always be paramount, how humility protects leaders from drifting into performance, and why God so often chooses what looks foolish in the eyes of the world to accomplish His greatest purposes.

We also dive into Communion America, a movement filled with jaw-dropping testimonies and undeniable God stories, reminding us that unity, repentance, and simple obedience still move heaven today.

Whether you’re a pastor, leader, intercessor, or believer hungry for more of God, this episode will stir your faith and challenge how you think about ministry, success, and revival.

In this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Brent sits down with Dr. Michael Brown to talk honestly and deeply about revival—what it is, what it isn’t, and why the church must learn to discern it wisely.

Dr. Brown shares firsthand stories from the Brownsville Revival, offering rare insight into what God was genuinely doing during that historic move, as well as the challenges, criticisms, and long-term fruit that followed. Rather than nostalgia or hype, this conversation focuses on spiritual discernment, biblical grounding, and lasting transformation.

We also hear personal, behind-the-scenes stories from Dr. Brown’s time with two giants of the modern prayer and revival movement—Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson. These moments reveal the weight, cost, humility, and prayer life that marked true revival leaders—far beyond public platforms and emotional moments.

This is a sobering, encouraging, and deeply pastoral conversation for anyone hungry for a genuine move of God—and wise enough to want it rooted in truth.

In this episode, Dr. Brent continues the Great Awakenings conversation with Pastor Ada Simpson by addressing one of the most important questions facing the modern church:

How do we discern true revival from artificial spirituality?

Using Jonathan Edwards’ historic work The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, Dr. Brent walks us through eight biblical tests that help separate genuine moves of God from emotional hype, spiritual excess, or personality-driven movements.

Together, we explore why the church is especially vulnerable to strange fire in this generation, and how both cessationism and unchecked revivalism can lead believers away from healthy, Christ-centered spirituality.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Dr. Brent also explains what Jonathan Edwards warned us not to use as proof of revival — including emotional reactions, physical manifestations, visions, or dramatic experiences.
