Is This True Revival or Just Emotional Hype? A Biblical Test from 2 Corinthians 7
In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins wrestle with the seismic events shaking our nation — from the assassination of Charlie Kirk to the tragic church attack in Michigan — and ask a vital question: Are we witnessing true revival or just another emotional reaction?
Diving deep into 2 Corinthians 7, they unpack godly grief vs. worldly grief, the marks of true repentance, and how to discern whether this cultural moment is leading to lasting reformation or fleeting hype.
This episode is a blueprint for evaluating revival biblically, leading your home with conviction, and cultivating churches that are not just soft sanctuaries but fortresses of truth in a hostile world.
