Just Because You’re Tired Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed, with Zach Meerkreebs

33 minutes

In February 2023, Zach Meerkreebs was simply serving as a guest pastor at one of Asbury University’s regularly scheduled chapel services when he told his audience, “Do not leave here until you experience the love of God so that you can pour it out.” Not only did students spontaneously decide to stick around, they did so for 16 days, with the crowd at times growing to more than 50,000 people. This week Zach talks with Nate Dewberry about both what he preached on at the revival and what he’s learned since, including new perspectives on admitting weakness and how we can be humble before the Lord without settling for mediocrity.
