Experience Revival Podcast

As summertime wraps up and we head back into the busier rhythms of fall, it's all too easy for our schedules to fill up, while our energy, patience, and peace are emptied out. When we look at the example of Jesus, however, we see a wonderful balance of Kingdom work AND rest. In this episode, Summer and Melissa talk about the need for margin and some practical ways to start creating space in your life so you can thrive.

There is a growing epidemic of loneliness happening in this country. Many people don't feel loved and valued. They don't feel they can be open and vulnerable and still be worthy of love and included in community. But there is something we can do about it!

In this episode, we talk with our friend Amanda Swick about the importance of incorporating hospitality into our everyday lives to help overcome this epidemic of loneliness. We know it can be an intimidating thing when we first begin to think about inviting people over. Join us as we talk about ways we can overcome this fear and how we can create an environment where meaningful conversations happen--a place where people can feel loved and valued.

Read "There's Room At The Table", by Amanda Swick

Key Scriptures:

Romans 12:13

What words come to mind when you are asked to describe yourself? How we see ourselves really matters. Our mind is powerful and what we think about ourselves and about God determines so much of how we walk this life--the decisions we make and the way we interact with others. We can turn to God for the truth of our identity because He is the one who knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows us this well because He is the one who created us and knew us before time began.

1 John 3:1

What we think of when we think of God is one of the most important things about us. Our view of God and his relationship with us, especially how he deals with us when we stumble and fail, is important to us growing in our faith. The way we follow Jesus, how we read the Bible, how we live out our faith, how we see ourselves, all revolve around and are influenced by how we see God.

Sometimes we struggle with coming to God in prayer because we are afraid of God's reaction. In this episode, we will talk about some common misconceptions we have when we think of God that keep us from approaching Him in confidence and how we can learn to embrace His grace.

Proverbs 27:17

Being in community doesn't just benefit us--it has an eternal impact in the Kingdom of God! You play a role in the work that God is doing in the world. We have a natural tendency to think of our roles in the world as individual ones. We navigate our daily lives relatively independently of one another. We consult our individual calendars to make plans and don't think much about what the neighbors are up to unless their dog is barking non-stop early on a Saturday morning! ;-) While it's a totally normal rhythm to life, God also calls us to a life lived in community. In this episode, we discuss how we can begin to shift our perspective from our limited individual perspective to a fuller, eternal perspective of what God is doing not just through us in our own lives, but through us in community.

Do you have some new pandemic habits that have stuck even after you may no longer "need" them? Coming out of the pandemic, it seems we are all learning how to re-engage in life and in community after two long years of isolation and a daily rhythm that was anything but normal. After having to be separated from others and be careful about keeping our distance, it is understandable that we may be hesitant to jump back in. For some people, there is a real need to continue to be cautious in order to keep their loved ones who are vulnerable safe. But the truth for most of us is that we have simply lost the habits we once had, like getting together with family and friends, volunteering at our kids' school, or going to church in person. Now as we are coming out of the pandemic, we need to recognize that some of the new ways of living that were once a necessity, may now no longer be helping us but rather hindering us. Join us as we discuss how some of our "new normals" might be keeping us from the life in community that God wants for us.

We are so excited to bring you this newest episode, featuring one of our new favorite authors, Denisse Copeland!

Denisse was born and raised by a single mother in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Her upbringing offered little stability, and Denisse soon found herself on a seemingly endless quest to find love and acceptance. It wasn't until Jesus shook her world that she truly found what she was looking for. Now a mother of three living in Oklahoma City, Denisse works alongside her husband, Rashawn Copeland, as an online minister and evangelist. Their ministry reaches more than 6 million people every year.

Denisse just released her first book, "Set Apart: Stop Comparing, Own Your Giftedness and Rest in Jesus". By unpacking the biblical story of Mary and Martha, as well as her own story of recognizing her unique giftedness, Denisse Copeland shows you how to embrace your identity as a woman set apart to be exactly who God created you to be, whether that is a C-suite executive or a stay-at-home mom.

Hope is a word we use often in our daily lives, but biblical hope looks different than what you might expect. In this episode, we talk about not just hope, but the confident hope that we can experience as children of God, and how even in seasons of waiting, we can still take heart and grow to be more like Christ.
