Today's interview is very special. Lisa recorded this interview with author Colleen Chao in May of this year, knowing that Colleen had stage 4 terminal cancer. Colleen's book released in October, In the Hands of a Fiercely Tender God: 31 Days of Hope, Honesty, and Encouragement for the Sufferer. Colleen wrote this book for the sufferer who wants to trust Jesus in the midst of their deep pain, grief, or loss—but who needs practical wisdom, rich truth, and encouragement to do so.   Links: God Knows Book Launch Team  In The Hands of a Fiercely Tender God Book  She Laughs At The Time To Come Short Film Called Creatives   A JOE Production.

Seeking Revival (Bonus): Your Top Revival Need

  You may remember the famous words, “Houston, we have a problem,” shared by the astronaut crew of Apollo 13 to the ground team at NASA. In a similar way, the Apostle John wrote a letter to warn the church of Ephesus of some serious problems he identified (see Revelation 2). Concluding her four-part series on  Seeking Revival, Lisa explores what the modern-day church can learn from this passage and how our situation mirrors Ephesus in many ways. Listen in to discover one key thing we’ve lost as a church, as well as the three non-negotiables we need in order to experience personal revival. Don’t miss one minute of this good news!

Seeking Revival Part 4: Three Ways to Have a Soul Revival Forever

In part three of the  Seeking Revival  series, Lisa shares a “revival roadmap” of sorts, offering four things that prevent us from experiencing God in a fresh and personal way.  (Warning: As you listen to Lisa's insight and discover which “revival-killer” most resonates with you, be prepared to step out of your comfort zone!)  This episode will inspire and encourage you to be an  active  participant in the move of God: recognizing that revival begins on a  personal  level long before it ever appears in the world around you.    Links Invite Lisa to Speak  Take the Quiz: What Do You Want?

Seeking Revival Part 3: Four Things That Stifle Revival

      Growing up, you were likely taught that following rules is always the right choice. But when your convictions differ from the rules, which do you follow then? In part two of the  Seeking Revival  podcast series, Lisa shares the difference between rules and convictions, highlights the roadblocks to pursuing God, and shares the reasons why we need to take back a conversation the world has “owned” for far too long. Lisa's poignant words will stir your heart and move you towards a faith built not merely on rules, but on deep, life-altering convictions.  This  is where revival begins.
